I have about 100,000 lines of code in over 3 dozen PDF

than typing in the code by hand from the PDF file, are there any good
freeware programs to convert a PDF back to a text file?
I kind of like the idea of using Google to do my work:

But if you search OCR PDF, you'll get lots of choices, including some
free online services.
