Extract texts with their corresponding page numbers from PDF files.

Wraps the command line tool `pdftotext` ([poppler-utils](https://poppler.freedesktop.org/)).

## Usage

1. [poppler-utils](https://poppler.freedesktop.org/) (version >=22.05.0) must be installed and available in the path.

1. `go get "github.com/heussd/pdftotext-go"`

1. See [tests for code examples](pdftotext_test.go).

## Why poppler version >=22.05.0

[Version 22.05.0 of poppler](https://poppler.freedesktop.org/releases.html) introduced a new parameter `-tsv`, which extracts PDF content with meta data as TSV. This functionality is essential for the operation of this library.
