This would depend on the PDF file. Some PDFs are just raster (so no lines or text to extract). Some have lines but the text is converted to lines (so you get the lines and texts as lines) and some include the text as actual text (usually with the text as lines also). If the PDF has the text, it is extracted and you can use it in TBC. If not, writing a macro to convert the text "lines" would be a difficult task.
