Infile must be a pdf file. The script first calls the `pdftotext' program, so
you must have this installed on your machine. It is part of xpdf. `pdftotext'
is called with the '-raw' and '-' options, which cause it to place its output
on stdout. This is piped to `xml2brl', which is called with the '-p' option,
since output from `pdftotext' is likely to be poorly formatted. The output
file from `xml2brl' is mostly in sensible paragraphs.
