I had a report in plain PDF with the following text: PRESENT: F. Lloyd Wright, R. Piano, A. Rossi, R. Koolhaas, B. Van Reeth, S. Beel, B. Lowagie I converted this PDF to PDF-1a with Acrobat. Acrobat assumed that "PRESENT" and "F. Lloyd Wright, R. Piano, A. Rossi," were P(aragraphs). The other two lines were tagged as a list with labels "R." and "B." ;-) I don't complain about this: all in all, I was very pleased with the result. I'm just given this example to show the OP that it's extremely difficult to convert a PDF without any structure to a PDF with structure without human intervention. That's also what common sense tells us. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
