I have not heard back yet from Doug Kaufman about whether it is okay to
post the pdftotext he compiled at the Basiclinux download site.  (He also
has pdfimages and pdftops).  I sent him the output of my test file from
the DOS and Linux pdftotext.


Here is the output of another pdf convertor - pdftohtml (installed on a
FreeBSD server). It produces three html files, in this case 
hobal.html (lynx shows this as 'links' 'rechts')
hobal_ind.html (view it with lynx and you see Page 1 and Page 2) 
hobals.html (attached - this is the text itself)

I have also attached hobal.pdf.

Here is the text equivalent (via Lynx Print) of the html.  It is closer
in output to the DOS pdftotext (four copies of the first line, other
lines chopped up rather short) than to the Linux pdftotext (where
the words all got run together).  To use it as a downloader you would need
to view filenames.html not filename.html from filename.pdf

   My role is to facilitate the process of building a Balanced
   Scorecard for your organization.
   1. The Real Source of Creating Value
   Creating value comes from all parts of your business. Everything from
   employee development to
   product innovation. Here are some quick examples of value-creation:
   !
   Extremely efficient operations (like Federal Express).
   !
   Exceptional customer service (like Wal-Mart).
   !
   Outstanding product quality (like Nike).
   !
   An emphasis on product innovation (like Michelin).
   !
   Re-inventing how the marketplace works (like Amazon.com)
   Your organization must create value in everything you do  it's no
   longer good enough to just focus on
   financial performance as a measure of creating value.
   2. The Need to Measure Non-Financial Performance
   Since value is created all over the place, you need to measure the
   non-financial parts of your business.
   And remember, things that get measured get done! The system used for
   measuring the non-
   financial parts of your business is called the Balanced Scorecard.
   This is your third step in Creating
   Value through Excellence in Financial Management.
   3. The Overall Process
   The process for building a Balanced Scorecard includes:
   1. Identifying critical success areas within your business.
   2. Leading a cross-functional team for developing individual
   scorecards.
   3. Coordinating the design of an enterprise-wide scorecard based on
   individual scorecards.
   4. Linking your strategic plans to the design of the Balanced
   Scorecard.
   The Balanced Scorecard is a dramatic change in how performance is
   measured. It represents
   one of the leading edge tools in strategic management. I encourage you
   to explore this new
   integrated systems approach to performance measurement.
