NAME
pdftotext - Portable Document Format (PDF) to text converter (version 3.03)
SYNOPSIS
pdftotext [options] [PDF-file [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.
OPTIONS
-f number
Specifies the first page to convert.
-l number
Specifies the last page to convert.
-r number
Specifies the resolution, in DPI. The default is 72 DPI.
-x number
Specifies the x-coordinate of the crop area top left corner
-y number
Specifies the y-coordinate of the crop area top left corner
-W number
Specifies the width of crop area in pixels (default is 0)
-H number
Specifies the height of crop area in pixels (default is 0)
-layout
Maintain (as best as possible) the original physical layout of the text. The
default is to ´undo' physical layout (columns, hyphenation, etc.) and output the
text in reading order.
-fixed number
Assume fixed-pitch (or tabular) text, with the specified character width (in
points). This forces physical layout mode.
-raw Keep the text in content stream order. This is a hack which often "undoes" column
formatting, etc. Use of raw mode is no longer recommended.
-htmlmeta
Generate a simple HTML file, including the meta information. This simply wraps the
text in <pre> and </pre> and prepends the meta headers.
-bbox Generate an XHTML file containing bounding box information for each word in the
file.
-bbox-layout
Generate an XHTML file containing bounding box information for each block, line,
and word in the file.
-enc encoding-name
Sets the encoding to use for text output. This defaults to "UTF-8".
-listenc
Lits the available encodings
-eol unix | dos | mac
Sets the end-of-line convention to use for text output.
-nopgbrk
Don't insert page breaks (form feed characters) between pages.
-opw password
Specify the owner password for the PDF file. Providing this will bypass all
security restrictions.
-upw password
Specify the user password for the PDF file.
-q Don't print any messages or errors.
-v Print copyright and version information.
-h Print usage information. (-help and --help are equivalent.)
