Actually, it is possible to convert PDF to text. A better term than convert would be extract though.
You only need an OCR tool if the PDF has images only. This is typically the case if the PDF is a result of scanning documents. But even then, text is often inserted by the scan driver as invisible text so that the PDF content can be searched.
