I ran across this problem with various bank statements that I downloaded
via my bank's personal web site. The PDFs were encrypted and set with
certain properties that didn't allow scanning of the text layer. Unless
you are able to decrypt and do OCR on the PDFs, you're wasting your time
here. The problem isn't as simple as your manager would think. At
best, you could offer a partial solution of being able to scan "some"
PDF files but without libraries to decrypt and OCR the text, that's all
you can do.

Those libraries are probably on-line somewhere for a fee. Buy the
solution if you're in a time crunch. Beating the fastest horse on your
team is poor project management skills and won't get him the code any
faster.
