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.
