Maybe this page can help?

Maybe pdftk is not the right tool for your needs?


If all you want to do is convert a pdf to text, just
use acroread (as previously suggested):

There is a button at the top to save out the pdf file into
a txt file....
-->File-->Save as Text

Hi James,

I asked here for a tool to convert from pdf to txt.
I had to recompile the gcc (missing USE-flag) to install pdftk.
This effort only to get said:

"Maybe pdftk is not the right tool for your needs?"
