Commands for converting documents
----------------------------------
This file contains commands for converting different document types
into
* text (for fulltext search)
* png (for preview images)
* pdf (for pdf documents)
Such conversions may not necessarily output an excact equivalent of
the input file, but outputs a suitable representation, e.g.
converting an mp3 file into text may output the metadata or even the
lyrics of the song. Converting it into a preview image may result
in a picture of the album cover.
Please note, that when ever a command outputs anything to stderr,
this will considered as a failure of the command. Most command line
programs have a parameter (.e.g. `-q`) to suppress such an output.

The parameter `-q` is important because a2ps sends some statistical
data to stderr, which makes SeedDMS believe the command has failed.
