I used the "-raw" option on pdftotext to undo the columns which worked okay, except when it undid the two columns on a page it placed the right column first and then the left. So lines were no longer interleaved, but columns were in the wrong order on the page. Maybe there was a Hebrew/English switch I was supposed to use or something.
