Bug#1035320: pdftotext: Manual page incorrectly lists PDF-file as an optional argument

[Michael Gold]

Package: poppler-utils
Version: 22.12.0-2+b1
Severity: minor

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).

- Michael
