Dear Maintainer,

The pdftotext manual page shows the synopsis:
  pdftotext [options] [PDF-file [text-file]]

But it looks like this should be:
  pdftotext [options] PDF-file [text-file]

If run with no PDF-file argument, the program exits with status 99 after
printing a usage message (in which it's not shown as optional).
