I realize the result will be ugly compared to PDF.
I am hoping for something less ugly than reading the PDF file with
a text editor.
I have looked at the Adobe.com website and I do not know enough about
their various offerings that have Acrobat in the name. Besides, you
folks might be less biased.
If the .pdf was made from a text editor then the imbedded text can be extracted. *IF* the .pdf was made by scanning an original paper document, then the .pdf is really just a series of .tiff page pictures. Extracting text from the .tiffs is not easy or maybe not even possible.
