Another Fantastic Manual gives another idea: """ Pdftotext reads the PDF file, PDF-file, and writes a text file, text-file. If text-file is not specified, pdftotext converts file.pdf to file.txt. If text-file is '-', the text is sent to stdout. """ Why not try reading back the child process's stdout? I would have thought there would be no shortage of examples and help for this idea ...
