@veer66 ooh. I sometimes use regular pdftotext heavily, and it has some big issues with multi-column pdfs. How does your apache version stack up?

@writh Check this out. It looks like MOA has a storied past with Instagram. https://moaparty.com/bring-back-instagram/

@icedquinn no context on this, but just want to say from happy places in my memory, "I like Perl."

@veer66 I have seen this on clj-pdf, which wraps something or other pdf, and on Juxt Tick, both very useful libraries but sometimes with the same strange characteristic that their owners don't seem to fully understand how their own system works, so answers include more "should work" and "maybe"s than expected.

@icedquinn I live in org-agenda! Every day since I was a uni student.

#Clojure is very often used to create wrappers around other libs. This is a testament to its excellent syntax and development environment that this is deemed worthwhile.
