Hi Trace.
Yep, if you save as text, all formatting except the most basic type,
graphics, fonts etc etc will not be represented in the plane text version. Its
purely an accessibility feature, not a conversion tool.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi
it contains text and photos, saving as text would sstrip out the photos but
hopefully leave me with the text, I'll give it a go!!
Thanks

Hi Trace.
You can save a pdf file to a text file from within Adobe Reader. If the
PDF contains text, select the file menu then save as text. If the PDF only
contains images however, you'll need to put it through an OCR application such
as OmniPage, Fine Reader or one of the accessible programs like OpenBook or
Kurzweil.
All the best, Ibrahim.
