Umm, no, I didn't forget. Yes it needs the x stuff, I think, but it
works as a command line tool. you just type pdftotext filename and you
get a text file. Believe me, I'm  no more capable of using x than you
are. I don't actually know where to get it from, but  it is a debian
package.
I'm sorry I didn't make myself clear earlier.
