No, you're not necessarily out of luck.  If you have OpenBook, or Kurzweil, 
you can recognize the pdf image by printing it to the Freedom Import, or 
Kurzweil Virtual Printer,  respectively.

If you don't have those, you can converted a limited size file free by going 
to

Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

Subject: reading ARRL antenna book 22nd ed.
