8/8     Does anyone know of a decent PDF to text converter?  I'm looking
        for one that will take tables in a PDF document, and output them
        as tab-separated data.
        \_ I've been looking for sortof the same but was told that the idea
           of PDF is so that you can't convert it to the exact format. Granted
           you may cut and paste straight text but tables are just impossible.
           Unless someone know of a util., I'd like to know as well.
           \_ How does google do it ("view as HTML")?  They don't get
              the exact same format most of the time, but it's pretty
              close.  -John
