Back to the original topic (but thanks for the useful info about
download sites!) - just thought I'd mention that dragging or
copying-and-pasting text from any (text) PDF and OpenOffice
works pretty well on a Mac.
Not sure if this would apply to all platforms, but it's by far
the easiest way
Thankyouthyankyouthankyou. It worked like a dream. I'm so used to my old Mac
word processing apps not allowing copy-and-paste of pdf's that I never even
tried with my new one.

I use Google drive for conversion.{Not the desktop version.} I copy or

The download of FreeOCR from CNET brought along a huge mess of excess

There seem to be [at least] two types of PDF files.
One are essentially scanned images.
The others are formatted text files that can be converted to .doc or .txt by
