       Infile  must  be a pdf file. The script first calls the `pdftotext' program, so you must have this installed on your machine. It is part of
       xpdf. `pdftotext' is called with the '-raw' and '-' options, which cause it to place its output on stdout.  This  is  piped  to	`xml2brl',
       which  is  called  with	the '-p' option, since output from `pdftotext' is likely to be poorly formatted. The output file from `xml2brl' is
       mostly in sensible paragraphs.
