someone asked the same question about how to convert PDF's on another
list. I'm posting the answer here even though it's probably too late.
you could convert the [pdf] document to another format by using an
online conversion service like the one
found here:
http://document.online-convert.com/
This page will convert files into a variety of formats, so you could
convert your pdf document into RTF or doc format. The document is then
downloaded to
your computer. You don’t have to create an account and the conversion
process is free. It doesn’t work with huge documents of over 500 pages
or so, you
would need something like Stanza for that. If you wwant more info on
Stanza, let me know.
Alternatively there are some pdf conversion tools available from webbie
http://www.webbie.org.uk/
There are 2 pdf readers available, cycle through the headings with the h
key to get to the various programs. PDF reader 3 converts the pdf
document into
a text document when you open it, and the old Webbie 3 suite of programs
contains a pdf reader which shows the document in pdf format and you can
just
press control N and control P to move to the next and previous page
respectively. Note that it doesn’t have a search feature. For the old
Webbie program
suite, you can choose what programs you want to install during the
installation process, you don’t have to install everything.
