   - The different executables can be placed directly in the data directory or linked to from there. Either way, platform-specific files must be created, conforming to the format ''pdfinfo-{platform}'' and ''pdftotext-{platform}'', where ''{platform}'' is "Win32", "MacIntel", "Linux-i686", etc. To determine your current platform, open the Firefox Web Console and enter ''navigator.platform.replace(' ', '-')''. The Windows executables require the .exe extension (e.g., ''pdftotext-Win32.exe'').
