Well, of course, this assumes that your pdftotext program is located
at /usr/bin/. You're getting some error, and stderr is not being shown using
this. Change the line to this:
$handle = popen("/usr/bin/pdftotext \"$original_name\" - -layout 2>&1", 'r');
That 'should' redirect stderr to the fread statement.
