When using Acrobat Professional, the pdf files that I obtain from,
e.g., a web-page of a newspaper contain text that one can copy to a
word processor. However, in Linux, with

1. print to a ps file;
2. use ps2pdf to convert to pdf from ps,

the pdf files does not contain copyable text, as the text is
bitmapped. Can one obtain, in Linux, pdf files with copyable text? Any
ideas?

I have tried htmldoc, as suggested, but it does not support utf-8.

Thanks in advance,

Paul
