KWord will import PDF files. It does a fairly nice job of it, but if the file is very large, import one page at a time for the best results. Also, read the man page (and other documentation) for xpdf -- it allows for selecting blocks of text from PDF files. It also comes with a number of utilities for extracting the pieces of PDF files (e.g., fonts and graphics, in particular). I use its pdfimages for extracting the graphics, and it does a great job. deedee Registered Linux User #327485 Visit "WordStar & GNU/Linux" http://www.wordstar2.com Also, see WordStar Users Group Community http://www.wordstar2.com/WordStar_Users/index.php -- _______________________________________________ Find what you are looking for with the Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.asp?SRC=lycos10
