Thank you Andreas it works now except for the flags -startpage and -endpage.
Are they supported?
If so, what would the syntax be?

The parameter are case sensitive

... ExtractText -startPage 12 -endPage 33 ....

I tried it 2 different ways with the same result.

pdfbox

When I try to execute this pdf to text extraction command:
java -jar /usr/share/java/pdfbox-1.7.1.jar ExtractText -startpage12 -endpage33
Days.pdf days10.txt

I get:
Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from
/usr/share/java/pdfbox-1.7.1.jar

My knowledge of java is zero.

Can someone tell me what I need to do to use the program?

You are using the wrong jar, try pdfbox-app-1.7.1.jar instead.

Thanks,
