 ==== Using the Icecite's commandline tool to convert from PDF to text =====
-//[[https://github.com/ad-freiburg/pdfact|PdfAct]], formerly known as [[https://github.com/ckorzen/icecite|Icecite]] and which is the name used for the software on the rest of this page, is an open-source tool that can do many PDF related tasks, including extracting text from a PDF. In this part of the tutorial, we're going to learn how to run Icecite's PDF to text conversion utility from the command line. Based on that command, we'll configure the UnknownConverterPlugin to launch Icecite from GLI, to do the conversion on a PDF document in a Greenstone collection. This ends up being a useful exercise in instances where certain PDFs aren't recognised by Greenstone's PDFPlugin, even when pdfbox_conversion option (which uses the PDFBox tool for the conversion) is switched on. In such cases, you can use what you learn here.//
