I remember someone recommended pdftotext as freeware to change PDF
files to text format. But it doesn't work for me.
What doesn't work? Perhaps your problems can be fixed.
For the record, that's pdf2txt. (See previous thread about correcting
spelling errors so future google searches find the thread.
Is there any other freeware (OT shareware) to be used for the same
purpose?
In version 6 of acrobat reader (that is, the current version), you can
"Save as Text". In ver 5 you need an external program like pdf2txt. As
I recall, in version 4 you could copy text to the clipboard (or
something like that).
You can convert pdf to html, not text, using PdfToHtml at
http://pdftohtml.sourceforge.net/. There are a number of html to text
converters that you could then run it through. For example,
pricelessware lists web2text:
