This is not scribus related. I just thought that among the many
knowledgeable people on this list someone should be able to suggest a
solution to the following problem. Some pdfs of the scientific articles
that I am annotating seem to be broken. I can't either select text or
convert the pdfs to text. I tried latest xpdf and acroread and the usual
pdftotext and pdf2ps, then ps2ascii. Nothing works. I checked "Document
security" and there were no restrictions on copying text in those pdfs.
It is really irritating to have to retype abstracts when I could just
copy/paste. I'm really looking for a Linux solution, of course, as you
have already guessed from the description of tools I tried to use.
Regards,
Alex.
