Re: [orca-list] converting pdf to text

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

I have pdftohtml 0.14.0 and the man page does not mention a -s
option.  Was this something you locally patched into the program? if
so, could you folks get this to be integrated into the upstream
product for all to use?  I think a single file of html output would be
a nice featue.
