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?

Hm,, waited to see if anyone could help,, here's what I found when I
looked [for several years].

Regretfully, I never found any one program, script or other, which
could convert all PDFs nor to my satisfaction. If running a web server,
there are a few which might do a functional convert, though that seems
to take some extra scripting and basic server installations to work at
all, much less, well. The stumbling blocks may be the myriad of formats
and inclusions which might be involved, as well as any protections that
may have been applied.

Hopefully someone else has other to offer as I still have a few dozen
government PDFs to convert.
