       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.
