Yes, but there is no such package in PEAR.

Search yourself with Google (or something else) for a PHP class /
package that can do this, or use a Unix tool (maybe called via exec())
to get the contents. Depending on how the PDF file was created and what
contents you need to find, you can also use file_get_contents() and
strpos() (but only in very rare and simple cases).
Asking on php-general@lists.php.net might be another good place for your
question.
