PDF to TXT
Version 3.2
February 28, 2009

PDF to TXT (also written PDF2TXT) is a free Windows program for converting
files in Portable Document Format (.pdf extension) to plain text(.txt
extension).  The program lets you convert multiple files in a single,
batch operation, either from a GUI dialog or a console-mode command line.
The resulting text files can be read in almost any editing or viewing
program.  PDF2TXT, itself, also includes a viewing area for reading PDF
files.

The 3.2 version adds the ability to convert from PDF to HTML format via a
new checkbox called Extra HTML (which may be invoked with Alt+X).  If
checked, a .htm target file is produced in addition to the .txt one.  A
different conversion technique is used, originally posted at
http://EmpowermentZone.com/pdf2htm.zip

This option may be worth trying if the .txt result is unsatisfactory.  It
may also be useful for webmasters who want to post AN HTML alternative to
a PDF.  The conversion translates visual aspects of the PDF such as fonts,
but not structural elements such as headings, unfortunately.
