Searching and extract text from PDF

I'm a researcher, as well as a starter in python, i need to find key words, say earnings, sales, expenditure etc. in PDF documents, and extract relevant paragraphs around those key words out of the whole document.
I have tried pyPDF and PDFtools, but none of them work.
Can anybody give me a module or example?
Thanks a lot.

I would recommend Text Mining Tool.

Its features:

- No payment or license restrictions. Tool is absolutely free.
- Works as converter of PDF, DOC, RTF, CHM, HTML files to text.
- User-friendly interface with hotkeys available.
- Console tool minetext for automation of text converting is included.
- .NET 2.0 framework based.
- No installation is need. Just unpack the program and use.
