       Infile  must  be  a  pdf  file.  The  script  first  calls the `pdftotext' program, so you must have this
       installed on your machine. It is part of xpdf. `pdftotext' is called with the  '-raw'  and  '-'  options,
       which  cause  it to place its output on stdout. This is piped to `xml2brl', which is called with the '-p'
       option, since output from `pdftotext' is likely to be poorly formatted. The output file from `xml2brl' is
       mostly in sensible paragraphs.

       The  full  documentation for pdf2brl is maintained as a Texinfo manual.  If the info and pdf2brl programs
       are properly installed at your site, the command

              infoliblouisxml

       should give you access to the complete manual.
