Hmm, really?  The last 5.X release was 5.4, and 6.0 is
on the way, so I doubt FreeBSD will ever reach 5.13 -
and, if it does, it'll likely be in 2008-2009 or so.  You
might want to ask for clarification on this.

Perhaps Google.  Or someone else.  I can find no
"pdftotext" in the ports tree (about 10000
programs there).  I might suggest xpdf as an
alternative, but I only assume it does ASCII, as
I've not used the port:
