Oh. I had looked at the web page and decided that it only outputs PDB/PRC formats. So that's not correct, then? What formats does it output besides TXT and HTML (those would probably do well enough, but I'm just checking if there are others).

for the mac, have you tried the obvious? Preview?
I'd try cropping the PDF using the select tool and then crop (under tools). Do this to remove headers, footers, pages numbers etc etc etc. You should be able to reduce this to just your content only. Then change tools and use the text tool, do a select all, and bingo, formatted text is in your clipboard. Paste into whatever app you want and it should work. From here you can then massage it to however you want it to look. This is how I do it using mac OS 10.4.8 anyhow, good luck and if you need help, just ask, micro |

micro, thanks for the suggestions. See posts #1 and #4 for why the copy/paste solution didn't work. See #5 for my experience with Preview.
Recently I realized that we have Acrobat Professional at my new job. I've already "solved" my problem by obtaining a differently formatted copy of this file, but I may try loading the original up into Acrobat Professional to see if I can get around the custom encoding that way. |

Did you try the 'save as text' feature in Acrobat Reader? (I have'nt read all the posts)
