        No, pdfttotext creates an empty file.

        As can be seen I tried several combinations, thought perhaps it
        couldn't handle the file nam in quotes "Couier  etc" but nothing
        seems to do it?

        I have a person who can translate it for me but would have
        preferred Googl which is what I usually use for html messages. I
        understand some and can work with a dictionary also, Google
        translate requires less effort on my part.

        Thanks
