Save File as txt using VBA

Question

I am looking to save a pdf file as plain text through VBA, however I am getting the error "Security Settings Prevent access to this property or method". I am using Acrobat 9.0 Standard.  Please help!
Here is the code I am using in VBA:
Dim AcroXApp As Object
Dim AcroXAVDoc As Object
Dim AcroXPDDoc As Object
Set AcroXApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
AcroXApp.Hide
Set AcroXAVDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
AcroXAVDoc.Open strPDFPath, "Acrobat"
AcroXAVDoc.BringToFront
Set AcroXPDDoc = AcroXAVDoc.GetPDDoc
Dim jsObj As Object
Set jsObj = AcroXPDDoc.GetJSObject
jsObj.SaveAs strOutputFile, "com.adobe.acrobat.plain-text"
AcroXAVDoc.Close False
AcroXApp.Exit

You can try it with iText dll
It is open source!
This is in C# but in VB is the "same":
public string GetPdf(string _path) {
            var sb = new StringBuilder();
            var path = _path;
            try
                PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(path);
                int n_pages = reader.NumberOfPages;
                int i = 0;
                for (i = 1; i <= 1; i++)
                    var pageBytes = reader.GetPageContent(i);
                    if (pageBytes != null)
                        var token = new PRTokeniser(pageBytes);
                        while (token.NextToken())
                            var tknType = token.TokenType;
                            var tknValue = token.StringValue;
                            if (tknType == PRTokeniser.TokType.STRING)
                                sb.Append(token.StringValue);
            catch (Exception e)
                return e.Message;
            return sb.ToString();
Cheers =)
