Package: xpdf
Version: 0.92-3
Severity: wishlist
It would be nice if the xpdf tools supported the Unixy style of
using stdin and stdout streams when the filenames are not presented on
the command line.
I'm so used to expecting to be able to do things such as:
$ zcat foo.pdf.gz | xpdf &
$ bzip2 -dc plans.pdf.bz2 | pdftops -upw s3cr3t | lpr -Pcolor
$ zcat report.pdf.gz | pdftotext | chef | mail -s Report boss

Hi,
I see that poppler utils like pdftotext and pdftops have gained the
ability to work with stdin/stdout, while xpdf itself has learned to deal
with compressed files like report.pdf.gz or plans.pdf.bz2 through its
wrapper. I think the features requested in this bug are all present now,
so I'm closing this bug (after almost two decades!).
