Not free... but "kind of free" since you need an OS to run your computer!
You can do that easily with Windows XP. I use it to convert PDF files into
Word format for further processing
 
Any freeware to do this?

Thanks,
Stan

Ghostview.

If you can copy and paste the text from Acrobat reader into a human
readable format than Ghostview can extract the text from that PDF.
Font information will be lost.
Sometimes a PDF does look like text but it contains a picture of the
text, that Ghostview cannot convert.

best regards

Olaf

Are you sure that Windows XP contains functions to convert PDF files?!
From my experience, I have to install 3rd party software (Adobe Reader)
just to *view* PDFs.
