 Maybe pdftk is not the right tool for your needs?


 If all you want to do is convert a pdf to text, just
 use acroread (as previously suggested):

 There is a button at the top to save out the pdf file into

 --File--Save as Text

 I asked here for a tool to convert from pdf to txt.
 I had to recompile the gcc (missing USE-flag) to install pdftk.

If you use emacs you could also use docview mode to achieve that. It's a
little bit processor heavy but just does the work for me.
