pdftorr

NAME
       pdftorr  -  Portable  Document Format (PDF) to RichReader Doc format.

SYNOPSIS
       pdftorr [options] PDF-file ["title"]

DESCRIPTION
       Pdftorr converts Portable Document Format (PDF) files to
       a compressed .pdb file in Doc format with RichReader format codes.

       NOTE: If the PDF file contains compressed text, you will need to
       have the "gzip" program installed somewhere on your PATH.

OPTIONS
       -f number
              Specifies the first page to convert.

       -l number
              Specifies the last page to convert.

       -ascii7
              Convert the text to 7-bit ASCII; the default is  to
              use the 8-bit ISO Latin-1 character set.

       -raw   Keep the text in content stream order.  This  is  a
              hack  which  often "undoes" column formatting, etc.
              This optiplain text.on will likely be replaced with  something
              more  sophisticated  when pdftotext is rewritten to
              use a smarter text placement algorithm.

       -t     Keep the intermediate text file 

       -h     Print usage information.  (-help is equivalent.)

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.
