+.TH pdftotext 1 "22 January 2004"
+.SH NAME
+pdftotext \- Portable Document Format (PDF) to text converter
+(version 3.00)
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B pdftotext
+[options]
+.RI [ PDF-file
+.RI [ text-file ]]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B Pdftotext
+converts Portable Document Format (PDF) files to plain text.
+.PP
+Pdftotext reads the PDF file,
+.IR PDF-file ,
+and writes a text file,
+.IR text-file .
+If
+.I text-file
+is not specified, pdftotext converts
+.I file.pdf
+to
+.IR file.txt .
+If
+.I text-file
+is \'-', the text is sent to stdout.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BI \-f " number"
+Specifies the first page to convert.
+.TP
+.BI \-l " number"
+Specifies the last page to convert.
+.TP
+.BI \-r " number"
+Specifies the resolution, in DPI. The default is 72 DPI.
+.TP
+.BI \-x " number"
+Specifies the x-coordinate of the crop area top left corner
+.TP
+.BI \-y " number"
+Specifies the y-coordinate of the crop area top left corner

+.TP
+.BI \-H " number"
+Specifies the height of crop area in pixels (default is 0)
+.TP
+.B \-layout
+Maintain (as best as possible) the original physical layout of the
+text. The default is to \'undo' physical layout (columns,
+hyphenation, etc.) and output the text in reading order.
+.TP
+.B \-raw
+Keep the text in content stream order. This is a hack which often
+"undoes" column formatting, etc. Use of raw mode is no longer
+recommended.
+.TP
+.B \-htmlmeta
+Generate a simple HTML file, including the meta information. This
+simply wraps the text in <pre> and </pre> and prepends the meta
+headers.
