Re: Saving Adobe .pdf file problem

Not necessarily - the PDF2Word converter mentioned earlier in this thread
will convert text from a graphical format in a PDF

To add to the discussion-
I suspect that a file of that size was scanned to a pdf. In that
case, no converter will create a text file.

Depends, starting with a 6Mb file, my guess is we are dealing with
images, not text, even if an image of text. I just double checked
and if the pdf starts with image files, Adobe reader does not do OCR
to change it to text. Again, not a Word question.

File > Save as Text, (even Acrobat Reader can do it). If yours
doesn't, then you need an upgrade.

You might want to ask in a newsgroup about Adobe Acrobat. This
one is about Microsoft Word.

I don't like working with .pdf files because I know nothing about
them. I
have been sent a .pdf file that is 6 mb in size. I am trying to
save it as
a text file using the Adobe Reader 7 command series of File,
Save as Text. When I go to the saved file there is no text in it.

I checked the file properties and can find no evidence that the
file is
"locked' or in any other way set to prevent copying. I need some
suggestions on how to save the darn thing as a text file.

Thanks
