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 ...
Cheers,
John
