So, what free pdf to text, or to doc or to rtf works the
best on Win98FE?

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.
