# Pdftotext

*A Ruby wrapper for the `pdftotext` command line library*

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/benbalter/pdftotext.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/benbalter/pdftotext)

## Installation

1. You must first install [Poppler](http://poppler.freedesktop.org/). On OS X this can be done with `brew install poppler` if you have Homebrew installed

2. Add `gem "pdftotext"` to your project's Gemfile

3. `bundle install`

## Usage

```ruby

text = Pdftotext.text('path-to.pdf')

=> "The text of the PDF"

pages = Pdftotext.pages('path-to.pdf')

pages.first.number

=> 1

pages.first.text

=> "The text of the PDF"

```

Both methods take an optional hash of command line arguments to pass to `pdftotext`. The only one by default being `-layout`.
