John, does this program do a better job than AR's on-the-fly conversion? For me, the real boon would be a package that could easily and inexpensively convert documents to PDF. Microsoft promised integration as an option in the "Save as" menu six years ago; I'm still waiting.

It is free and pretty efficient. You could email me the file and I will convert it using a different program if you want.

I'd rather do that because I never have gotten used to reading in Adobe.

Did you try downloading the file, then immediately saving it as a text? If you try that you might be able to read it. Or just email the station for a copy of the schedule. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Troy Burnham" <homerun@xxxxxxxxx> To: "jfw" <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 3:18 PM Subject: need help with a pdf file > Hi All, > On a local radio station's web site they have posted the concert > schedule for the Houston rodeo coming up in March.
