Extraction of Text from PDF

Hi,
I have tried extracting the content from PDFs in java using api's like PDFBox and iText
but am not being able to get the content from watermarked PDFs.
PDFBox : cannot extract content from watermarked PDFs.:confused:
iText: only the latest version can, but this again fails for 2 columned PDFs. :(
i just wanted to know if there is any other way to extract content from a PDF
programatically using techniques other than PDFBox and iText.
OR Are there any other api's which have such facilities.
I am not sure if the CAM::PDF package from CPAN (Perl) has such capabilities. :~
Thanks,
Divya.
