That's a really big subject!
What type of data do you need to extract?
Text, images, metadata, separate pages...?
Start here: http://www.google.com/search?q=extract+pdf+pages+php
Also, depending on what you want, you might be able to get some mileage using GhostScript which comes with Linux and can be installed on Windows.

It is a VERY BIG prospect...
Reliable PDF extraction and anaylis tools/apis cost between $1,000 - $10,000.
It's not going to be easy and you'll need to "roll your sleeves up" and "tape up your eyelids!"
I've only generated rudimentary PDF docs; never had to extract anything but the most basic.
Basically... You have to hit the books and learn about the PDF file structure, history, and etc.
