pdftotext - Portable Document Format (PDF) to text converter (version 0.7a)
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.
-fnumber
Specifies the first page to convert.
This is a beta release of pdftotext, and there are still a bunch of PDF features which I have yet to implement.
The pdftotext software and documentation are copyright 1996-1998 Derek B. Noonburg (derekn@aimnet.com).
