How to extract text from a PDF with multiple pages? I need to get each page as separated text strings
Page 1 as one string, page 2 as another string etc
Is it possible with pdftotext or any other tool?
I need a Linux command line tool
The easiest way would be to use the already named pdftotext tool, which can be installed by running sudo apt-get install poppler-utils. After that you can simply run pdftotext /link/to/input.pdf /link/to/output.txt.

I have a question if I want to create a file without using command or programming?
I know mkdir hi.txt, but is there any way to make without using these?
The touch PATH program will create an empty file at the location entered for PATH.
Example: touch /var/tmp/file.txt will create an empty file at /var/tmp/file.txt
If you want to create a file in Linux, without using any program/command,
you can use > this sign
like > hi.txt it will create a file

The linux command strings looks for ASCII strings in a binary file.
Are there any command line tools to show UTF-8 strings in a binary file?
The strings command supports the --encoding option. Check the man page.
But however, I failed to extract UTF-8 strings using any possible option value. Currently searching their mailing list. will update this if I find more help
