RE: Convert PDF to text

Thanks Patrik,

I thought I read somewhere that the Poppler tools would not install with
yum on IBMi ?

Thanks for the link, I will give it a go.

Have you, or anyone installed and used these tools ?

Thanks
Don

I'd use the pdftotext command from the poppler-utils package in PASE. I
assume the poppler-utils package is available for installation via yum.
