Hello group , I have a PDF file of a Family Group sheet that I need to save
as
an RTF File , How can I do that ? , Using the select all in Adobe V 5 gets
me the data BUT Not the lines on the paper , or the text tool gets it too <
NO Lines > which I want !
I suspect I can not do this !
Please and Thanks , Phil

PDF Converter is appreciably cheaper (at $49.95US) than Acrobat and
produces Word format documents from PDF files.

The only way I know how to do this directly is to purchase the full
version of acrobat. When you use select all, all you are selecting is
the text in a pure ascii form. If you paste this into Word (or Open
Office, a free program) you can then re-format it to look like the
original. If you use Adobe V6 you can just select file>save as text,
then open it in your favorite word processor to re-format.

And what about the free Ghostwrite utilities ? One of them
is a PDF2PS that converts to postscript, and another PS2ASCII
that converts to plain ASCII.

I wonder if OOo or some other Windows software can read a PS
file and keep the format (the question was posted with OE).
