You could also try pdf2xml that combines Apache Tika, pdftotext and other tools
<div><a href="https://bitbucket.org/tiedemann/pdf2xml/">https://bitbucket.org/tiedemann/pdf2xml/</a></div>
<div>It also integrates a language identifier to automatically filter out some garbage.</div>

Can anyone recommend PDF-to=txt (or PDF-to=xml) tools for Arabic?<br>
I have had enquiries from several Arabic corpus linguistics researchers,<br>
example below from Anastasiya Andrusenko in Valencia<br>

Subject: Converting PDFs in Arabic to txt. for further corpus analysis<br>
<br>
<br>
Hi,<br>
<br>
I saw your profile in internet and thought may be you can help me.<br>
My name is Anastasiia Andrusenko, currently I am doing research on<br>
metadiscourse features in Arabic Research Articles (Analysis of Arabic corpus)<br>
at the Department of Applied Linguistics of the Universitat Politècnica de<br>
València.<br>
I have PDF files in Arabic. I need them to be in txt. format. But the problem<br>
is that by converting them with Adobe Acrobat Prof. the txt. files are not<br>
readible.<br>
<br>
Could you please advice any solution to this problem or may be you know any<br>
tool for text analysis for Arabic.<br>
Thank you in advance<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Anastasiia<br>
