Xpdf MediaFilter: generate UTF-8 text, and improve error reporting
------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DS-412
                 URL: http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-412
             Project: DSpace 1.x
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: DSpace API
            Reporter: Larry Stone
            Assignee: Larry Stone
            Priority: Trivial
             Fix For: 1.6.0
         Attachments: xpdf2text-diff.txt

This patch makes 2 unrelated improvements:

1. Add the "-enc UTF-8" option to the pdftotext command to produce Unicode 
text; the default is Latin-1.  This has been tested successfully with Greek 
text.

2. Improve error reporting by testing status value.  E.g. pdftotext returns 3 
when it fails because of a permission problem in the source PDF, which is 
useful information that leads straight to a diagnosis.
