RE: A Question about the Acrobat Plug in

[Tim Culhane]

If you only want to read the file as text or html then I have found the
plug-in more than adequate.  Being totally blind I don't know how the
formatting is affected by saving pdf files as text, but at least you can
read them without any problems!

Cheers,

Tim

Understand, though, that the document almost certainly will not be
well-formatted after it's been run through Acrobat and saved as either
text or HTML.  Been there, done that a *lot*, and got the frowning
T-shirt.  The simple fact is that PDF flat does not convert well to
anything else and the converted files may require massive amounts of
manual clean-up and tweaking before being very useful.
