Hi Richard - thanks for your input...
Does the text file that's being output handle the umlauts correctly,
or is it just the final 'cat' statement that's failing?
The results of the cat statement are just the same as the output file -
both have 'wierd' characters in place of certain characters, most
frequently where characters with umlauts appear.
I don't have any German or encrypted files to test this on, so I had
to remove those options to get it to work; BUT pdftotext does not seem
to like your '-enc utf-8' construction.
Yeah, I found the "-enc utf-8" with a bit of a Google search where
someone had experienced a similar problem - my Mac doesn't like it
either though and I can't find any useful documentation to explain how
the "-enc" options should be used. :-(
I'm not sure what the correct syntax is for that one, as the usage
information is rather terse. You might want to drop the developer a
line, unless else someone here knows?
I may well do that - unless anyone else has a clever idea to try?
