Hi there,
here is exactly hat I am typing.
pdftotext -opw 'nature*fox' from_idea_to_air.pdf > idea2.txt
I get a number of errors, including that the name token is too long, that
the dictionary must be a known object,
and some repeats of the above.
Thanks for your hints on this. See anything wrong with how I am entering
the command?

I took a brief look at the code, and nothing immediately jumps out
that is descriptive of your problem. What exactly are you typing
on the command line (including the quotes)? I tried several
variations without any obvious problems, such as:
pdftotext
(space)
-opw
(space)
(single-quote)
nature*fox
(single-quote)
(space)
testfile.pdf
(enter)
(where "single-quote" above refers to key two to the right of the
"L" ("ell") key on my keyboard).

I bought an e-book, and the file is password protected. I have the
password, and pdftotext gives you two different options for opening a
password protected file.
-opw for owners password, and-upw for users password.
What I think might be the problem though is that the password has a * in
it.
nature*fox
when It try using either option, I get errors suggesting that the file name
token is too long, perhaps it is seeing the password as part of the file
name?
I have tried putting the file password inside less than and greater than
signs, even putting the * in quotation marks. It seems I should be able to
open it, but I am running out of ideas.
Any perspective?
Who wrote this program so I might ask them directly?
