Como posso extrair páginas contendo uma determinada string de um arquivo PDF?

Question

Eu tenho um arquivo PDF contendo 100 páginas. Gostaria de extrair essas páginas contendo uma string específica.

Como posso conseguir isso? Talvez usando ghostscript na linha de comando?

Por que vale a pena: Estou usando o Edubuntu 12.04 LTS.
