Text extraction script for pdf documents

Question

Hello Everyone,
As everyone in the U.S. knows Tax Season has begun.  I am looking to the Apple Community for help with  a script that will help me mitigate the daunting task of manually extracting data from my bank statements to put into my expense tracking software.  The software that I am using at the moment is "Neat Receipts" which will only inport ."pdf" and image files.  I have very limited scripting knowledge at this point, however, I have begun the process of learning the craft.  With deadines steadily approaching I have put off the task of manually combing through hundreds of pages of docs in search of a more eficient way of accomplishing this task.  Therefore, I have turned to the Apple Community for help for myself and possibly millions of others with the same issue.
Thus far, I have downloaded all of my bank statements for the last year and have organized them into a folder on my desktop.  Each file is labled by a specific name, such a "TD Bank Statement - Jan 2012.pdf".  I would like to go about extracting the data from the pdf in a way as to be able to reimport it back to a seperate pdf file under a new name.  First, I would like to select the folder containing all the bank statements.  Second, I would like to retrieve the "Transaction Date", "Vendor", and "Transaction Amount" from all the stements.  Third, I would like to combine the, Date", "Vendor", and "Transaction Amount" and place it into a new "pdf" file.  Last, I would like to name the new file with the date of the transaction followed by the vendor, a delimiter, and then the file name from which the transaction originated fileNext export a single trasnaction to a new pdf, and give the file the name of its "transaction date.  
Here is a sample of the data I am looking to capture:
Sample Data would look like this:
12/6/13, WAL WAL MART SUPER, $25.37
Sample file output would look like this:
12/6/13, WAL WAL MART SUPER - TD Bank Statement - Jan 2012.PDF
I am actively working on this, as I type this, to test my knowledge and ability to solve this problem myself.  I would like some feedback, input, and help with this
First, I believe the script should first perform an OCR of the "pdf file
Second, variables should be set to tell the script what to look for (Date), (transaction Amount), and all lines proceeding until it hits another (date)
Third, group all lines and insert (delimiter) in place of hard returns and tabs
Fourth, export grouped data into (new pdf) fie
Fifth, rename the (new pdf) file with (Transaction date) followed by (delimiter) followed by original file name

Acrobat can only work with what is present in the file. For instance,
in some cases there is just a scan, a picture, and no text can be
extracted.
Sometimes letters are doubled up when the document's creator used
"fake bold", where letters are printed twice to make an illusion of
bold text.
