# Usage:
# pdf2pocket.sh worthreading.pdf
# Note: requires python and the python script "sendfromgmail.py"


pdffile=$1
# Filename without extension part
jobname=${pdffile%.*} 
txtfile=$jobname.txt
htmlfile=$jobname.html


# convert PDF to txt (saved in the current directory)
# it seems txt works better than HTML (Pocket cannot reformat HTML files for reasons unknown to me...)
pdftotext $pdffile


# copy the created file to my Dropbox public folder
cp $txtfile /home/taha/Dropbox/Public/$txtfile


# construct the corresponding Dropbox public URL
htmlurl="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/47462551/$txtfile"


# email url of htmlfile in public Dropbox to Pocket
python ~/chepec/chetex/common/bash/sendfromgmail.py "add@getpocket.com" "dropbox2pocket" "$htmlurl"
