Why not just install Foxit?

The current version of Foxit Reader is not supported in Windows 98.

So install an earlier one ... I don't think the .pdf format has had that
much added since the last version of Foxit that _does_ work under '98.

The latest Adobe reader I could download onto a Win98 from Adobe's
website was Adobe 5
If I lied and said I had Win98SE, I could get Adobe 6, but I found it
didn't work on this machine even though the Windows Explorer 'help'
tells me it's Windows 98 Second Edition. Go figure.

Yesterday I downloaded 3 .pdf files from the DoE. Not one will open
on this machine. All say the file is damaged or such.

Yet, on my WinXP [shudder] running Adobe 8, the files open very well.
Also, Adobe seems to have 'improved' their reader by removing the tiny
little fist that moves the image around. I sure miss that little
fist, very difficult using the side bars and arrow keys. Adobe must
be learning from MS about how to improve a product [NOT!] by removing
good features.

But, now I can't find my .pdf reader I used last year! Worse, I can't
find my pdf to text converter. I need to pull sections out of this
huge document.

Any ideas which one will open these new format .pdf's? Or, what will
do the pdf to doc conversions? Uh, free of course.
