    Thanks Herbert,
    after long searching (and by the way, how do you dig in all the
    available packages? I tried 'pkgin search pdftotext' but I couldn't
    find it) it looks like this application is both in:
     - converters/doc2html
     - print/poppler-utils
    As the former is much smaller package than the latter, are they the same 
tools?
    Thanks

I am not absolutely sure, but xpdf might contain pdftotext. If you have
xpdf not installed, try this package.
