Hi, I gave a long answer about how to read postscript files some days ago. Well, the programs i talked about read pdf files, too. In short: you can use either ps2ascii (debian package gs-common) or pstotext (debian package pstotext). The second one gives prettier output, but they are both good for you. They are simple to use: ps2ascii file.pdf file.txt pstotext < file.pdf > file.txt Leo Scott Berry <scott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi there, > > What console apps for Debian are available to read pdf documents?
