- 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.
