   gpdftext is a GTK+ text editor for ebook PDF files.

   gpdftext loads the PDF, extracts the text, reformats the paragraphs
   into single long lines and then puts the text into a standard GTK+
   editor where you can make other adjustments.

   On the ebook reader, the plain text file then has no unwanted line
   breaks and can be zoomed to whatever text size you prefer.

OPTIONS

   There are no command-line options supported currently.

   PDF files passed on the command line will be opened by gpdftext.

Free Software


Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.

Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.
