When I did pdftotext and then did wc on the text I get the following
message.
wc: /home/proj/08/cesasha/Nature/JaneliaProposal.txt:56: Invalid or
incomplete m ultibyte or wide character
   60  2511 15147 /home/proj/08/cesasha/Nature/JaneliaProposal.txt
can you please explain what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
Asha
