It was one of those "one time things".
The Dutch Ministry of Finance and the Justice department had published a
few things I needed to incorporate in one of the things I'm working on.

And exactly at the moment I needed the stuff really badly, my computer
started to act weird ( and still does ) and I must have deleted Acrobat
sometime ago ( don't ask me why, I don't know) so I got stuck with only
the Adobe Reader that has just one option and that is to save as a TXT
file. IE did not work anymore, nor could I use FF for downloading and
what ever else went haywire....Luckily the documents were not
"protected" in any manner that I know of, otherwise I would probably
still have the same problem...

After I rebuild my computer I will certainly get me the professional
version of Acrobat. No more worries then if I ever have to convert like
this again...
