IT looks like this program will not do what I wanted to do is to PRINT or COPY the text into StarOffice and then Print it from there...
Well...I dont know...It looks like I have to boot into Windows in order to print PDF files...So I dont know what Jilliagre was thinking..Maybe he misunderstood me on what I wanted to do...And thats to print or COPY and PASTE the PDF contents onto StarOffice and print them that way..

You have now pdftotext correctly installed.
You are just asking it to open a file without telling where the file is, or perhaps are you using the wrong file name.
Copy your pdf file in /tmp then run:
/opt/csw/bin/pdftotext /tmp/hp_ux_11.pdf
That will create /tmp/hp_ux_11.txt, a file you'll be able to insert in open office.
