RE: Extracting Text from Acrobat File

[DBennett -at- Foundationsoft -dot- com]

SnagIt has a screen capture tool that allows you to capture and output as
text. I don't have a lot of experience with this, but it might work. If you
don't already have SnagIt, you can download a free trial version from
www.techsmith.com.

Good luck!

Good morning, all (or whatever time of day you may be in)

Sales has given me a pdf file of a large table to turn back into text.
(Because, of course, they didn't save the original file.) While I've done
that before, this one is a stumper. Acrobat sees only the header as text. I
can't use either of the text selection tools to highlight anything else.
Exporting as rtf gets me a large graphic. Exporting as txt picks up only the
header.

Any ideas on fixing this other than thumping the sales guy for not saving
the original Word file?
