source code: Covert TXT to PDF

which is assumed to be resident in the printer.  Typically,
.I PDF\-font\-name
and
.I PS\-font\-name
are the same.  By default, only the Base-14 fonts are assumed to be
resident.
.TP
.BI psNamedFont16 " PDF\-font\-name wMode PS\-font\-name encoding"
When the 16-bit font
.I PDF\-font\-name
is used in a PDF file with the
.I wMode
writing mode and is not embedded, the
.I PS\-font\-name
font is substituted for it.  The writing mode must be either \'H' for
horizontal or \'V' for vertical.  The
.I PS\-font\-name
font is assumed to be resident in the printer and to use the specified
encoding (which must have been defined with the unicodeMap command).
.TP
.BI psFont16 " registry\-ordering wMode PS\-font\-name encoding"
When a 16-bit font using the
.I registry\-ordering
character collection and 
.I wMode
writing mode is not embedded and does not match any of the fonts
declared in psNamedFont16 commands, the
.I PS\-font\-name
font is substituted for it.  The writing mode must be either \'H' for
horizontal or \'V' for vertical.  The
.I PS\-font\-name
font is assumed to be resident in the printer and to use the specified
writing mode and encoding (which must have been defined with the
unicodeMap command).
.TP
.BR psEmbedType1Fonts " yes | no"
If set to "no", prevents embedding of Type 1 fonts in generated
PostScript.  This defaults to "yes".
.TP
.BR psEmbedTrueTypeFonts " yes | no"
If set to "no", prevents embedding of TrueType fonts in generated
PostScript.  This defaults to "yes".
.TP
.BR psEmbedCIDTrueTypeFonts " yes | no"
If set to "no", prevents embedding of CID TrueType fonts in generated
PostScript.  For Level 3 PostScript, this generates a CID font, for
lower levels it generates a non-CID composite font.
.TP
.BR psEmbedCIDPostScriptFonts " yes | no"
If set to "no", prevents embedding of CID PostScript fonts in
generated PostScript.  For Level 3 PostScript, this generates a CID
font, for lower levels it generates a non-CID composite font.
.TP
.BR psOPI " yes | no"
If set to "yes", generates PostScript OPI comments for all images and
forms which have OPI information.  This option is only available if
the Xpdf tools were compiled with OPI support.  This defaults to "no".
.TP
.BR psASCIIHex " yes | no"
If set to "yes", the ASCIIHexEncode filter will be used instead of
ASCII85Encode for binary data.  This defaults to "no".
.TP
.BI psFile " file\-or\-command"
Sets the default PostScript file or print command for xpdf.  Commands
start with a \'|' character; anything else is a file.  If the file
name or command contains spaces it must be quoted.  This defaults to
unset, which tells xpdf to generate a name of the form <file>.ps for a
PDF file <file>.pdf.
.TP
.BI fontDir " dir"
See the description above, in the DISPLAY FONTS section.
.SH TEXT CONTROL
.TP
.BI textEncoding " encoding\-name"
Sets the encoding to use for text output.  (This can be overridden
with the "-enc" switch on the command line.)  The
.I encoding\-name
must be defined with the unicodeMap command (see above).  This
defaults to "Latin1".
.TP
.BR textEOL " unix | dos | mac"
Sets the end-of-line convention to use for text output.  The options
are:
.nf

    unix = LF
    dos  = CR+LF
    mac  = CR

.fi
(This can be overridden with the "-eol" switch on the command line.)
The default value is based on the OS where xpdf and pdftotext were
built.
.TP
.BR textKeepTinyChars " yes | no"
If set to "yes", text extraction will keep all characters.  If set to
"no", text extraction will discard tiny (smaller than 3 point)
characters after the first 20000 per page, avoiding extremely slow run
times for PDF files that use special fonts to do shading or
cross-hatching.  This defaults to "no".
.SH MISCELLANEOUS SETTINGS
.TP
.BR initialZoom " -5..5 | page | width"
Sets the initial zoom factor.  A number (-5 .. 5) specifies a zoom
factor, where 0 means 72 dpi.  You may also specify \'page', to fit
the page to the window size, or \'width', to fit the page width to the
window width.
.TP
.BR t1libControl " none | plain | low | high"
Sets the type of font rendering for t1lib (the Type 1 rasterizer) to
use.  Options are "none" (don't use t1lib at all), "plain" (use
non-anti-aliased fonts), "low" or "high" (use low-level or high-level
anti-aliased fonts).  This defaults to "low".
.TP
.BR freetypeControl " none | plain | low | high"
Sets the type of font rendering for FreeType (the TrueType rasterizer)
to use.  Options are "none" (don't use FreeType at all), "plain" (use
non-anti-aliased fonts), "low" or "high" (use anti-aliased fonts;
these two are identical).  This defaults to "low".
.TP
.BI urlCommand " command"
Sets the command executed when you click on a URL link.  The string
"%s" will be replaced with the URL.  (See the example below.)  This
has no default value.
.TP
.BI movieCommand " command"
Sets the command executed when you click on a movie annotation.  The
string "%s" will be replaced with the movie file name.  This has no
default value.
.TP
.BI mapNumericCharNames " yes | no"
If set to "yes", the Xpdf tools will attempt to map various numeric
character names sometimes used in font subsets.  In some cases this
leads to usable text, and in other cases it leads to gibberish --
there is no way for Xpdf to tell.  This defaults to "yes".
.TP
.BI printCommands " yes | no"
If set to "yes", drawing commands are printed as they're executed
(useful for debugging).  This defaults to "no".
.TP
.BI errQuiet " yes | no"
If set to "yes", this suppresses all error and warning messages from
all of the Xpdf tools.  This defaults to "no".
