Will access.adobe.com convert it to html for you? I was going to suggest ths as a serious alternative, but after leaving it running overnight trying to convert a 1.5MB pdf to html, maybe it's only paying lipservice, rather than being a real alternative.http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/56347
TU Darmstadt's library has introduced electronic lending of books in pdf format. The files can be downloaded and are usable for 4 days (before presumably bitrot sets in). The scheme is based on acroread 6, of which Adobe is obviously not going to release a Linux version. This isn't the first university implementing this scheme, and I guess won't be the last. This sucks!
