Does anyone know of a FileMaker Plug-in that can extract the text from
a PDF stored in a container field?
Could this be done with a Custom Function?
Thanks,

Not offhand, but that's not to say their isn't one.
There are however, any number of command line text extractors that
could be controlled by filemaker, set to create a file containing the
extracted text, and then have that result imported back into
filemaker. This could all be scripted to make it pretty seamless.

No.
