+
+ 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.
+
