Many thanks Miark. I tried to use pdftotext to convert one or
two pages of two pdf files into text files, but I got no luck.
What I got in the text files are some mess. Could you please
show me more on how to use it? Thanks.
Not much to it, really. I just type 'pdftotext filename.pdf'
which generates filename.txt. Feel free to e-mail me the file
offlist if you'd like me to take a crack at it.
you could also open the pdf in kWrite.
this will import the text too.
the pdf format is proprietary and often weird.
text can therefore come out mangled and out of sequence.
kind regards philippe
