Not sure if you're open to open source solutions, but here's one that's

written on top of http://pdfhummus.com which is written in C++ and would
need to be compiled on Power.

There is a pure-Python (no C, no C++, no compilation step) library
called PyPDF2 which can do this:

http://mstamy2.github.io/PyPDF2/

The name is unimaginative, but it works well in most cases, and should
run anywhere Python runs, including IBM i. For those with 5733OPS
Option 2 installed, you can get this package by doing

pip install pypdf2

at a QSH or QP2TERM command line. Then, within Python, do

import PyPDF2

and you are ready to start experimenting with its capabilities.
(Disclaimer: I have only confirmed that it installs correctly with pip
and that it imports correctly within Python; I have not actually USED
the package for anything myself.)
