Foxit sells their PDF code as a library. I use it, and it's great.

You may know them for their very popular free Acrobat Reader alternative.

Not all pdf files contain text. When getting text from them you might need to use OCR. It is possible to build an printer driver for a virtual printer and get the text by capturing undocumented windows messages. To my knowledge there is no easy foolproof way to do this.
