Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-2602:
-----------------------------------------

I would like to keep PDFDebugger / PDFReader because I do all from the same 
command line, i.e. I don't want to change directories depending on what tool 
I'm using while developing.

I tried PDFSplit and ExtractText, it works but the result appears in the local 
directory instead of the directory of the file being split. That is new.

> The command line tools shall be enhanced to have the same behavior across all 
> tools.
> From the discussion on the dev mailing list
> - add an -h option to print the usage
> - print the usage to System.err and use an exit code of 1 if there was an 
> invalid command line parameter
> - print messages on exceptions to System.err
> - rethrow the exception so java can handle it if it will terminate afterwards 
> anyway
> - use an exit code of 1if rethrowing doesn't make sense
