NAME

pdftotext - Portable Document Format (PDF) to text converter (version 1.00)

SYNOPSIS

pdftotext [options? [''text-file''?]

DESCRIPTION

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.

CONFIGURATION FILE

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.
