Hello, I have a book in the form of a large pdf file (over 500 pages) which I would like to convert into many plain text files, to be used on a cheap portable mp3/mp4 reader. The pdf was not scanned, it's the original pdf that came from the publisher but pdf is not supported by the reader. Of course I could buy a proper e-book reader but that would be for later on.
So what I would ideally like to do is: - split the pdf into many pdf files according to bookmarks (chapters) - convert the resulting pdf's into nicely formatted plain txt files, preserving some sort of formatting. The book does not contain advanced graphics but a few simple tables. I've spent the whole day trying all free online tools but they all produced nasty results. I am not sure if this is possible on Netbsd (I know it's possible on other platforms with very expensive proprietary applications) but I hope you can help. Thanks -- Ottavio
