If you are doing it in Turing there is not going to be any API or Library to do any of the work for you.

It's not going to be the easiest project if you are new to programing but it could make an interesting Turing module that might be useful to others.

Your best bet is to start by looking up the PDF specification which you can find for free here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.html

This quick overview may also be of help: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/lc_pdf_overview_format.pdf
