Can Selenium verify text inside a PDF loaded by the browser?

Question

My web application loads a pdf in the browser. I have figured out how to check that the pdf has loaded correctly using:

verifyAttribute xpath=//embed/@src {URL of PDF goes here}

It would be really nice to be able to check the contents of the pdf with Selenium - for example verify that some text is present. Is there any way to do this?

Unfortunately you can not do this at all with Selenium
