title: How do I explore a PDF to determine if an element is text?
body: <p>I have a PDF and want to extract the text contained in it. I've tried a few different PDF libraries and they all return basically the same results. When extracting the text from a two page document with literally hundreds of words, only a dozen or so words from the header are returned.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to tell if the text I'm after is actually text or a raster image of the text? I'm thinking something along the lines of Firebug's "Inspect Element" but at this point I'll take any solution that tells what I'm really looking at.</p>
  
  <p>This project really doesn't justify attempting to use OCR. And, although a simple solution, using fields in the PDF is not an option since the generator of the file is a third party.</p>
