Adobe's Acro rat reader is free of charge. It is not free software
(free as in speech) but they don't charge you to use it. Personally I
hate PDF! half the stuff that comes out is barely readible - even with
GW Micros fine efforts with Window-Eyes and MSAA in Acro Rat reader
6.0. The formats can vary so much and the reader can barely scrape
the surface at times. That's why I dis like PDF so much. In Linux,
there are some tools such as pdftotext that will convert PDF to ASCII
text also.
