=head1 NAME
getpdftext.pl - Extracts and print the text from one or more PDF pages
=head1 SYNOPSIS
getpdftext.pl [options] infile.pdf [<pagenums>]
Options:
-c --check just validates the page instead of printing it
-g --geometry just computes geometry, prints nothing
-v --verbose print diagnostic messages
-h --help verbose help message
-V --version print CAM::PDF version
<pagenums> is a comma-separated list of page numbers.
Ranges like '2-6' allowed in the list
Example: 4-6,2,12,8-9
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Extracts all of the text from the specified PDF page(s) and prints
them to STDOUT. If no pages are specified, all pages are processed.
The C<--check> and C<--geometry> modes are distinctly different. They are
used primarily for debugging.
