Non-notable software per WP:N. SL93 (talk) 22:46, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

• I am wondering if this could usefully be merged somewhere. BD2412 T 01:21, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
• :List of PDF software? Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 05:41, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
• :: That is probably the best bet. A section could be added on conversion software specifically, or on miscellaneous PDF software. It is mentioned in passing in a row in the "Linux and Unix" section of that list. BD2412 T 20:14, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

• Add to List It seems to be one of those handy utilities. I see lots of references and I would not be surprised if there isn't more than one bit of software with this obvious name. Lamona (talk) 16:18, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
• Redirect to Poppler (software). The Poppler fork of pdftotext is version used in most linux distros, [https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/amd64/poppler-utils/filelist like Ubuntu]. This particular tool is far from notable, but would serve as a useful redirect. — BillHPike (talk, contribs) 00:44, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
• :Yes, I think this is another good option. Lamona (talk) 18:46, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

• Redirect to Poppler (software) for now, although I'm far from convinced the table on that article it's currently mentioned in should exist either - List of PDF software is one of those lists whose criterion for inclusion should be having a standalone article or else it violates WP:NOTDIR and hence a redirect there makes no sense. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 16:24, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
• Redirect to Poppler. pdftotext is already mentioned briefly at List of PDF software, in the row for Poppler. This isn't ideal, since it seems to be used elsewhere as well, but it can always be changed in future if someone cares enough. Toadspike [Talk] 22:24, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
