pdftotext
pdftotext(1) General Commands Manual pdftotext(1)NAME
pdftotext - Portable Document Format (PDF) to text converter (version 2.01)
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.
CONFIGURATION FILE
Pdftotext reads a configuration file at startup. It first tries to find the user's private config file, ~/.xpdfrc. If that doesn't exist,
it looks for a system-wide config file, typically /etc/xpdfrc (but this location can be changed when pdftotext is built). See the
xpdfrc(5) man page for details.
OPTIONS
Many of the following options can be set with configuration file commands. These are listed in square brackets with the description of the
corresponding command line option.
-f number
Specifies the first page to convert.
-l number
Specifies the last page to convert.
-layout
Maintain (as best as possible) the original physical layout of the text. The default is to 'undo' physical layout (columns, hyphen-
ation, etc.) and output the text in reading order.
-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.
-enc encoding-name
Sets the encoding to use for text output. The encoding-name must be defined with the unicodeMap command (see xpdfrc(5)). This
defaults to "Latin1" (which is a built-in encoding). [config file: textEncoding]
-eol unix | dos | mac
Sets the end-of-line convention to use for text output. [config file: textEOL]
-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. [config file: errQuiet]
-cfg config-file
Read config-file in place of ~/.xpdfrc or the system-wide config file.
-v Print copyright and version information.
-h Print usage information. (-help and --help are 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.
EXIT CODES
The Xpdf tools use the following exit codes:
0 No error.
1 Error opening a PDF file.
2 Error opening an output file.
3 Error related to PDF permissions.
99 Other error.
