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.
