Hi all, When I last spoke with the folks in Wis, both systems, adobe's and theirs were being upgraded and this was expected to take some time. However, and I cannot speak to its availability elsewhere Linux wise. On our Linux shell, which is shellworld, there is a wonderful program: pdftotext. it has managed everything i have had to use save files that are rite protected. I have gotten those reversed and then translated. Those who have greater specific knowledge of Linux packages than I can claim at the moment may be able to tell you where it can be found. Hope this helps, Karen On Tue, 2 Nov 2004, Glenn at home wrote: > I am pretty sure that I saw a version of Adobe fr Linux at the Adobe site. > Glenn > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Guitar Jack and Seetbriar" <jammerman at ispwest.com> > To: "Glenn at home" <GlennErvin at cableone.net> > Sent: Monday, November 01, 2004 11:45 PM > Subject: Re: Re: PDF Converter > > > Hi Glenn > Thanks but I'm not running windows.
