If the PDF was built from text, then pdftotext will extract the text.
pdftotext is in the xpdf-utils package.  Be careful: if you don't
explicitly specify an output file pdftotext will create one, possibly
overwriting a file you'd rather not have overwritten.

If the PDF was built from an image - e.g. a scanned document - you'd
need some kind of OCR.
