It's an excellent start. It pulled in some additional control
characters in some of the documents I tried, and some documents had
extra stuff at the end of the document. It was still text, but it
looked like the text from the page header/footer definitions. It would
be cool to see this polished and released. I just wish there was
something this basic that worked this well on PDF files! :-)
