This tool, see link, can maybe help you.
It is a command line tool. i know, not the best solution.
I did some tests in 2022 with a lot of supplier invoice pdf files for a project to import
automatically invoices in our management software.
Results where not bad at all but saddly our project has not the highest priority and thus not finished.

Can you provide examples of how to use this program.
I am getting error can't open pdf file.
I used command "pdftotext a.pdf a.txt"
Thanks
