[KLUG Members] reading pdf

[Ralph M. Deal]

I was about to recommend trying pdftotext whioh works fine for me.
Hope it works in this case.  Am I reading Adam's response, apparently a
script from his computer, correctly is thinking that xpdf-2.01-11...rpm
includes pdftotext?  I had gotten that pdftotext some time ago as a
standalone.
