Hi Peter,

yes, you are right. Below is the output.  I am finding
the order of the output a little confusion - it would
be good if SWISH-e would output the file name before
it starts processing. Anyway, I am open to
suggestions. As far as I can tell, it's just unhappy
with the PDF. So to me it seems the PDF parsing is
somehow different from the pipe example.
