Hello

I know that Willem Hoek knows, as he gave a lightning talk 2 months ago on that very subject. Let me know if you need me to contact him for you.

I recently used pdfquery[0] with success to parse a dentist bill. Takes a bit of hacking to get use to the pdf.pq selectors, and a lot of XML interpretation to understand how to extract info from the PDF.
