I ended up converted the pdf to a text file using pdftotext.
Then I modded my original program to read from that.

However, I would like to know a programmatic solution to this problem
since I have run into it twice and have failed both times.

Title:




Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

and:  <code> code here </code>

to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML": 











 
 



  •  Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data! 
    • 

  •  Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
