Well, Steffan-and-All, thanks much for a spirited discussion. I will try mupdf,
but also a majority of the time in pdftotext, I am not needing a -layout option
as much as years ago. And yes, as example, my HOA sends an invoice as a pdf, but
more what I wanted to do is read an article on a news related web-site, where an
only option may be a pdf. Seems like a waste of time to download or save a
pdf-and-then hope to convert. Sometimes all you see is a letter l. Thanks again
