    Hi Wingman!

    I don´t know of any means of converting in the "reverse direction ". Usually other formats are converted to pdf-format.

    Are You having trouble printing from Acrobat Reader?

    Hi Christer, thanks for your response.

    I'm not having probs printing from Acrobat but have a 195 page .pdf file to print. Lotsa pages are just 5-liners and all are 50 chars/line or less and thought that if I could convert it to .txt then edit with Notepad (or write a prog) I could save lotsa paper & ink. Mebbe I'm being too mean....!! (my Scottish heritage I guess)

    Thanks again.

    Hi Wingman!

    Well, I heard about the two Scotchmen who found a coin and invented the copper wire ...... :D ......

    I checked out the "Save as" options in Acrobat and it can be saved as *.txt or *.rtf but I don´t know if it is the same in Acrobat Reader.

    You could always copy and paste into Wordpad ...... :eek: ...... if You´ve got the time!

    On the toolbar of Acrobat Reader there is a TEXT SELECT, you can copy it to Word, Notepad or whatever.
