What does “its not working” mean for you? Does it produce any output (not that I’m asking for this output for the first time…)

Do you have any idea what’s actually in your larger PDF? I ask because larger might mean it’s scanned, and that it’s just images, with no text present. So yeah, do what others are asking, run command, check return code & stderr. But realize that if you want to get text from an image, you’re talking about running OCR software.
But for those that do contain text, I’d recommend Apache Tika. People are correct that there’s no requirement that text in a PDF be available in any way that you can make sense of, since it’s a list of drawing commands it could draw the characters in random order. But in real life the PDFs that you come across that are exported from word processing documents or created via print-to-pdf actually contain the text in a usable way. (Columns and tables are still tricky. But plain text is pretty easy to handle.)

I ran the same command on terminal but i am getting an error. What is meant by invoking command from terminal ?
Also please tell me how can i avoid the the errors reflected by exit status 99

Which?
Invoking means the same as running in this context.
Depends on the actual error, which you refuse to tell us.
