By coincidence, a former coworker of mine who does not have access to
Acrobat asked me to test a utility for him. It's called Gemini, and it's
made by Iceni Technologies (www.iceni.com). It extracts text and images into
HTML and RTF, and it maintains some basic formatting. It could certainly

It's an Acrobat plug-in, so you have to have Acrobat (not just Reader) to
use it. The trial version produces text with randomly scrambled words to
prevent you form using it commercially. I'd like to get the full version and
give it a try.
