Is it possible to extract plain text from a PDF file created from
AutoCAD? Using xpdf I can grab plain text from PDFs created from other
sources, and using pdftoolkit I can grab the file's metadata, but I'm
still struggling with this particular issue.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure, but i know from other CAD-Software, that these specific CAD
texts consist of lines and curves and can not be converted to font-text.
If you want to automate the extraction of text, you could convert it with
ghostscript to an image first, then batch-read it with some OCR-Software.
