If its an online document, you could do a Google for it, and tell Google to convert it automatically to HTML. Also if you have access to a UNIX or LINUX machine, you could use the command: ps2ascii [input.pdf] [output.txt] (Where [input.pdf] and [output.txt] are the input and output filenames respectively) If you don't have access to a *NIX machine, let me know how large the file is. If its small enough, I could have you email it to me, and I could try doing it for you (I've never actually used this particular command before). Thanks, ~Caleb
