I have used this tool. However, I need PDF read ability on Windows and 
Linux and in the future Macs. pdftotext works great on Linux, but poorly 
on Windows (100% sustained CPU usage, etc).

Thank you for the suggestion. I'll keep hammering away at a simple 
Python solution to this. Over the years, I have come to loath Adobe's 
Portable Document Format!
