ENHANCEMENT idea : read from stdin (maybe also write to stdout)

[ashmanskas]

It would be handy to be able to specify the standard input instead of an input filename, and also to have the option to write to the standard output instead of to output.pdf or to a given filename.

I can do this from bash, somewhat awkwardly:

upstream-command | txt2pdf <(cat) -o >(cat) | downstream-command

but it could be nice to have the "-" in place of input or output filename, as in the 'a2ps' command.

@ashmanskas stdin support would be great. I'm ambivalent about stdout (even though it would symmetrically).

I have some sample code that's compatible with py2 and py3 for handling stdin https://github.com/clach04/puren_tonbo/blob/8f37a148558d293c3c59f75e44c638d4df2e6880/puren_tonbo/tools/ptcipher.py#L135
