Sorry I missed this question about PDFs, as I am preparing a lecture on how to deal with PDF files! I use Acrobat Standard for the conversion, unless it is an image, in which case I use ABBYY Fine Reader. PDFs can be a real pain to convert. I also use Acrobat for galley proof and revision with comments (and there are people who think translators have a good life).
There is an inexpensive solution for Mac users - there are plenty for Windows: http://solutions.weblite.ca/pdfocrx/ You can try 1 page for free, more than that, it costs US$30, which I think is a very good price. I found this software on the Apple downloads microsite, while looking for a converter as good as Versaverter - which now has a snazzy Mac version. Excellent converter, BYW. Just a wee joke: In Brazil, we call a PDF an FDP, an acronym for "son of a....." (please fill the rest).
