Hi there The pdftotext command is provided by the package named poppler The mentioned python package is only needed for when you would call pdftotext inside a python script. Regards Julian On 5/31/26 15:36, Philippe Delavalade wrote:

Hi Julian. Many thanks. Sorry for the noise but in my previous distro, pdftotext was a package independant of popler. Regards. -- Philippe Le dimanche 31 mai à 15:43, Julian a écrit :

To identify which package owns a file or binary, you can use this command: ``` $ sudo pacman -Fy $ pacman -Fp pdftotext extra/bash-completion 2.17.0-3 [installed] usr/share/bash-completion/completions/pdftotext extra/poppler 26.04.0-1 [installed: 26.05.0-1] usr/bin/pdftotext ``` Best, /m
