Lewis, The only problem with going from PDF to Text is that each line has a hard carriage return. So that is a lot of deleting, if you don't want those in your text.
Dave, I will give that a shot, thank you. I ended up using Microsoft Office Document Image Writer (a "printer" set up when I installed Office), but I then had to convert it to text using OCR, and that left a lot of typos. I am happy to try your solution in the future. Dennis, thanks for the heads up on version 6.
