How read PDF using java

Is there any way i can read PDF files using JAVA. The pdf file contains images and text.. Its kind off irregular. I need to get the text alone. Any implementations???

Thanks in advance.

You should check out iText. It is an open source library for reading, creating and modifying PDF files. I have recently used it and it works very well.
