What options are there for reading the content of a PDF file? I'd like
to be able to spider pdfs so they can be stuffed into a MySQL full text
search.

I found this:

http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/about.html

But I think that will be tough to get installed on a shared hosting web
server.

I think you can give a look here:

Do you need to extract text from pdf ?
If yes, I think you are looking for a parser and not a spider.
