Bill, are you using the swishe.exe I built the other day?  Can you try
the Aug 5 build?

I had very little trouble using pdftotext with the Aug 5 build.  But, I
do believe the online documentation doesn't match the Aug 5 win32
build.  I seem to recall that the number of parameters changed at some
point.  

Something similar to this I believe:
  FileFilter .pdf "pdftotext.exe %p"

I used pdftotext from xpdf found here:
  ftp://ftp.foolabs.com/pub/xpdf/xpdf-0.93-win32-ms.zip

There could be a problem with the most recent build (Nov 3 or so).  I've
done minimal testing and some new things may not work right.  I'll try
to do some debugging tonight.
