**gpdftext** is a GTK+ text editor for ebook PDF files.

**gpdftext** loads the PDF, extracts the text, reformats the paragraphs into single long lines and then puts the text into a standard GTK+ editor where you can make other adjustments.

On the ebook reader, the plain text file then has no unwanted line breaks and can be zoomed to whatever text size you prefer.

PDF files passed on the command line will be opened by **gpdftext**.
