Thank you for your response, but: Adobe Acrobat Reader is a Windows Program, and Saving to a text file (equivalent to extracting the text) means that I lose both the graphics and the rest of the page formatting, which Is not really what I was hoping for. I was hoping for a faithful reproduction of the pdf file in an editable format. In Windows (a now obsolete OS) Solid Converter PDF does a good job of doing that, but I have not been able to run under Wine (I'm using TheBat! version 3.99 - an email client for win - to write this with - WineHQ informer me that version 4 won't run, but v. 3.x will). Other commercial pdf editors/creators include Foxit but I was hoping an opensource app was available (Ghostscript will extract to text but as I mentioned, that's not what I have in mind). In any case, than you for your response.
