Sometimes it would be nice to treat a PDF as a text buffer, so you can do fancier searches etc. than pdf-tools would allow for. Other times, you may be limited to a terminal (e.g. Emacs over ssh), and want to peek at a PDF.

In both cases, pdftotext can be rather helpful. This package just provides a mode that makes use of it. You'll also need fmt for line re-wrapping.
