Re: PDF inventory software

I'm trying to convert all PDF files in a directory to text using
"pdftotext". I tried the following command:

$ find *.pdf | xargs -0 pdftotext
Error: Couldn't open file 'Ross-JAMA-2007 (Prostate Screening Strategies).pdf
Sanda-JAMA-2009 (Prostate Cancer Treatment).pdf
'

Why is this not working?

Thanks,
Daniel
