I am having problems trying to extract text using emacs 24.3 -- and actually even 24.2. If I try to find a pdf, it just comes up with the pdf itself -- if I then type doc-view-mode it ask me the question about unable to render file, extract text instead, but when I say y, I get the following message: DocView: process pdf->txt changed status to killed. It does work correctly in emacs 23. Any help on this would be appreciated. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it?
