Virtually all PDF documents are easily converted to plain text either using pdftotext, pdftops->ps2ascii, or blocking text displayed in xpdf or acroread and copying into a text fine. I have one of the rare exceptions here and wonder what magic I've missed trying.
The file was created by a Xerox copier (scanned paper document and saved as a .pdf). The pdfinfo tells me the creator was a Xerox WorkCentre 7345, and copying/printing is allowed. I tried printing to a .ps file, but that won't translate to plain text, either. I would prefer to not re-key a list several pages long if there's a way to translate this document to something I can use. Any and all suggestions solicited. Rich -- Richard B.
