Have you tried loading one of those co-processor emulators before the
PDF2TEXT converter program. BTW, the PDF2TEXT APM for Arachne works
very well. I have a 6meg PDF of the manual for my Star Micronics
printer that it converted to a 300K text file. Manually editing out
the garbage and empty space dropped it below 200k. One of these days
I am going to load up the PDF in Acrobat on my Win9x machine and edit
the text file to try and recreate the graphical info in ASCII text
characters.
