Personally I would do one of the following, in decreasing order of preference. You might find that whatever the PDF is built from is easier to convert to plain text than the PDF itself. Check in the Title/Producer/Creator fields of the PDF for some hints on what might be the source code for the PDF.
Ask upstream to create plain text NEWS and ChangeLog files for their next release. Ignore the problem altogether. Create the files from the PDF in debian/rules build. No need for an extra script nor a patch containing the results. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
