Re: unformatted text

[Carlos Fangmeier <carlos fangmeier sixbell com>]

If you ever try to read a pdf on a small screen device you will 
understand why I'm looking for this functionality :-) jeje.
About the posibilitie for such a development, if I understand right, 
evince is a frontend for what the poppler library render? If so, if 
there is a similar library to render only the text it could be possible 
to do such user-cotrolled option.
I will do some research and develope, if the result is something 
interesing I will share it.
