Dear Listfriends!

The solution

> I have Acrobat 5.0. On its tool bar is a button with a capital "T".
> If I press the button, and then mark the text I want (or all of it
> with CTRL-A) , then CTRL-C will copy the material to the clipbook as
> ASCII text.

> I then open a text file with, say, Notepad, and use CTRL-V to dump
> the contents of the clipboard into the Notepad. The contents have
> been converted to ASCII.

is what I would allways prefer.

But there is a little trick: there are PDF documents with Ctrl-C disabled.
This is done by the author for security.  In such a case, I donīt think that
any ("official") pdf to text converter would work.
