Generated automatically by mantohlp +1 pdftotext + + pdftotext - Portable Document Format (PDF) to text con- + verter + + pdftotext [options] [PDF-file [text-file]] + + Pdftotext converts Portable Document Format (PDF) files to + plain text. + + Pdftotext reads the PDF file, PDF-file, and writes a text + file, text-file. If text-file is not specified, pdftotext + converts file.pdf to file.txt. If text-file is '-', the + text is sent to stdout. + + () + +2 ONFIGURATION_FIL + + Pdftotext reads a configuration file at startup. It first + tries to find the user's private config file, ~/.xpdfrc. + If that doesn't exist, it looks for a system-wide config + file, typically /usr/local/etc/xpdfrc (but this location + can be changed when pdftotext is built). See the + xpdfrc(5) man page for details. + + () + +2 OPTIONS + + Many of the following options can be set with configura- + tion file commands. These are listed in square brackets + with the description of the corresponding command line + option. + + -f number + Specifies the first page to convert. + + -l number + Specifies the last page to convert. + + -layout + Maintain (as best as possible) the original physi- + cal layout of the text. The default is to 'undo' + physical layout (columns, hyphenation, etc.) and + output the text in reading order. + + -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. + + -htmlmeta + Generate a simple HTML file, including the meta + information. This simply wraps the text in <pre> + and </pre> and prepends the meta headers. + + -enc encoding-name + Sets the encoding to use for text output. The + encoding-name must be defined with the unicodeMap + command (see xpdfrc(5)). The encoding name is + case-sensitive. This defaults to "Latin1" (which + is a built-in encoding). [config file: textEncod- + ing] + + -eol unix | dos | mac + Sets the end-of-line convention to use for text + output. [config file: textEOL] + + -nopgbrk + Don't insert page breaks (form feed characters) + between pages. [config file: textPageBreaks] + + -opw password + Specify the owner password for the PDF file. Pro- + viding this will bypass all security restrictions. + + -upw password + Specify the user password for the PDF file. + + -q Don't print any messages or errors. [config file: + errQuiet] + + -cfg config-file + Read config-file in place of ~/.xpdfrc or the sys- + tem-wide config file. + + -v Print copyright and version information. + + -h Print usage information. (-help and --help are + equivalent.) + + () + +2 BUGS + + Some PDF files contain fonts whose encodings have been + mangled beyond recognition. There is no way (short of + OCR) to extract text from these files. + + () + +2 XIT_CODE + + The Xpdf tools use the following exit codes: + + 0 No error. + + 1 Error opening a PDF file. + + 2 Error opening an output file. + + 3 Error related to PDF permissions. + + 99 Other error. + + () + +2 AUTHOR + + The pdftotext software and documentation are copyright + 1996-2007 Glyph & Cog, LLC. + + () + +2 SEE_ALSO + + xpdf(1), pdftops(1), pdfinfo(1), pdffonts(1), pdftoppm(1), + pdfimages(1), xpdfrc(5) + http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/ + + () + |
