double quote every expansion , possibly contain special character, e.g. "$var", "$@", "${array[@]}", "$(command)". see: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/quotes , bashfaq 020 (link in signature).

code:

#!/bin/bash    shopt -s nullglob nocaseglob    file in ./*.pdf       pdftotext "$file" "${file%.*}.txt"  done
