That doesn't work on many Adobe docs, because they are protected. You have to purchase the pro version of Adobe reader to save in alternative formats.

Some time ago I converted a PDF file that I received to a text file. Uh, But I can't remember how I did that. How do I do that? Thank you for your suggestions .

They can send you instead a version after they unlock/unprotect it. I suspect you may find some of these problems will be resolved. I recently received a PDF fillable form PDF document that I wanted to convert to Word, using Adobe's own save as. I was not able to do that, getting an error message relating to permission levels. I contacted the office that prepared it, they send me a version with the restrictions lifted, and I got my functionality back.

During this past week I have had difficulty with two different .pdf documents, both protected. I cannot say more about the protection, JAWS says protected document, and I am able to read it for a while. Then my computer slows down drastically, JAWS loses focus, and I cannot use my computer until I give it a hard reset or a sighted person closes the .pdf document. Has anyone had this experience or know of a way to get around it. Also, this last document has links to other documents which I need to access, but they don't show up as links. When I enter on their names nothing happens. This may be a separate issue, but also important to me, as I need to read this documentation for work. BTW, I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. I am investigating having Acrobat Reader installed to see if this might help. I would appreciate any ideas from this list. Thank you.
