If Jamals don't then the one that comes with Cygwin or Linux can convert the
password protected ones if you have the password of course.

Jamal,
Will this utility convert a pdf file if it is secured? If not, do you know a

app that will?
Thanks, Rob!

FYI -- PDF2TXT
http://EmpowermentZone.com/p2tsetup.exe

converts PDFs to text *much* faster than Adobe Reader.  It can convert
any number of PDFs in a directory with a single command.  It can convert
PDFs that Adobe Reader either cannot or will not convert. <grin>
