Sam, go to:
http://www.geocities.com/rlcgreen/txtms03.htm#misctxt
and scroll down further to find Xpdf - Toolkit for extracting
text/information/images from Adobe PDF files..
I've not used it, preferring to save my HDD space and let Google
do the conversion for online PDFs (quicker than the Adobe email
request service). If it's online stuff you're dealing with, please
point the site owner toward:
http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20010610.html
and request an HTML or text alternative for the vast majority of
users who are unlikely to need a commercial-quality printout.
Regards,
Jake
