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.

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: Port: xpdf-3.00_6 Path: /usr/ports/graphics/xpdf Info: Display PDF files, and convert them to other formats Maint: nork@FreeBSD.org B-deps: autoconf-2.59_2 expat-1.95.8_3 fontconfig-2.2.3,1 freetype2-2.1.9 gettext-0.14.5 gmake-3.80_2 imake-6.8.2 libiconv-1.9.2_1 m4-1.4. 3 open-motif-2.2.3_2 perl-5.8.6_2 pkgconfig-0.17.2 t1lib-5.0.1,1 xorg-libraries-6.8.2 R-deps: expat-1.95.8_3 fontconfig-2.2.3,1 freetype2-2.1.9 gsfonts-8.11_2 imake-6.8.2 open-motif-2.2.3_2 perl-5.8.6_2 pkgconfig-0.17.2 t1lib-5.0.1,1 xorg-libraries-6.8.2 WWW: http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/ HTH, Kevin Kinsey
