If you are getting an empty text document with this I think it has to do with the locale of your computer. You have to set the locale to the language of the text the PDF uses. You can use pooi.moe/Locale-Emulator to change the locale of just this program and not change the system wide locale which requires a restart. Even after that the text I got had a "?" after every letter but that is easy enough to get rid of with a replace all "?" with nothing in any text editor.

Did exactly what it says. I converted about 200 PDFs to txt. Was impressed that the text is spaced/formatted according to the PDF spacing.

Great idea. Neat little program. Just couldn't get it to work. Tried several PDF's and it couldn't open them or converted them to empty text files or best case coverted the data but zero formatting. Perhaps this worked better on older version pdf's? Any hope of an update?
