RE: Reverse PDF tools
Acrobat 5 has a Save as RTF feature. I have been told the OCR in acrobat is really good. So it could be a very useful feature. You may want to check out acrobuddies.com or planetpdf.com or other PDF related sites for some tricks and techniques, there may also be some export plugins as well.

How about converting the PDF to a Flash Movie?

RE: Reverse PDF tools
Using the ghostscript you should be able to dump each page to a graphical file format (of your choice). To get the text - you can use the xpdf kit (which includes a pdftotext) util. But I don't think you can get to HTML easily though... :( Adobe has such a service though: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/access_simple_form.html __ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
RE: Reverse PDF tools
If you are looking to do this manually, I like to use Adobe Illustrator to change the PDF to EPS, save the images and then resize / output them in Photoshop. I have no idea of what tool you would use to automate this process. M -Original Message- From: Mark A.
