The simpliest method is to install app-text/acroread


There is a button at the top to save out the pdf file into
an txt file


-->File-->Save as Text


Other tools, such as the one I mentioned previously, have
greater capability, but need to be 'explored' and 'researched'
and 'tested' by the potential user.

Hi James,

I explored the manual of that tool (pdftk) but didnt find any
hint of converting pdf ot txt.

Please, give me one little, a keyword, only an option
which I can search for in the documentation to find
out how to convert pdf to txt with pdftk.

Thank you so much in advance for any help regarding this!

Best regards and have a nice weekend!
