PDF Converter

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi all,
When I last spoke with the folks in Wis, both systems, adobe's and theirs 
were being upgraded and this was  expected to take some time.  However, 
and I cannot speak to its availability elsewhere Linux wise.  On our 
Linux shell,  which is shellworld,
there is a wonderful program:
pdftotext.
it has managed everything i have had to use save  files that are rite 
protected.  I have gotten those reversed and then translated.
Those who have  greater specific knowledge of Linux packages than I can 
claim at the moment may be able to tell you where it can be found.
Hope this helps,
Karen
