  • A description of the feature you would like to have

input from standard input (stdin)

  • If relevant, the context that you are in. What are you trying to achieve?

Download pdf from the internet and avoiding to create a pdf file.

Internet > pdf2txt.py > file.txt

  • If possible, an example of what you want to achieve. Include the PDF that you are working on. Include the output that you would like to have.

curl ... | pdf2txt.py -

argument "-" as filename , means standard input (stdin)

Thank you
