What's the best free pdf to text or rtf converter?
Can't convert with free version of Foxit Reader, works well to read
the new format pdf's, but does not convert to text free-pdf-to-word-converter.exe 588KB Free PDF to RTF Converter 1.5 seems to reorganize the simplest of pdf's For example a numbered list of text ends up with all the numbers AFTER each entry! I think I tried pdf2Wordsetup.exe 1,103KB and it was worse So, what free pdf to text, or to doc or to rtf works the best on Win98FE? Robert |

ups.com: So, what free pdf to text, or to doc or to rtf works the best on Win98FE? Robert I have had nothing but trouble doing this. Recently I have ran into several times a problem with converted documents having spaces between letters in words and multiple spaces between words. Everything I tried gave the same result. I think, but do not know for sure, that the problem arises from documents that were originally prepared with right adjusted margins and the spaces reflect the word processor evenly arranging the letters across the line. I purchased PDF converter from http://www.galcott.com/pd.htm and reported the bug. The program specs included Win 98. First the developer claimed no bug. Then it admitted the bug and sent me a fix. The fix didn't work, and then it claimed that bug could not be fixed in Win 98. Needless to say, I would no recommend either the program or the source. |
