I'm currently off-line, so I can't check those reports. If you're looking
for a free solution to extract text from PDFs, there's gs-common's ps2ascii
and pstotext's pstotext.
If what you're looking for is a free program to browse PDFs, there's xpdf,
gv, ggv etc. The cleanest way to allow the sysadmin or user to choose would
be to use mime-support's /usr/bin/see as the viewer.
