Hi Darrell,  Thanks.  I downloaded this program.
I'm sure it is terrific but I am still a trainee after all these years.
All these programs give you an edit field in which to put the *.PDF file it 
seems and I don't know how to make the link between the file I want to open 
and this edit field.  I have not learned much after all these years.  Mitch

Hi Dave,

Download and install Jamal Mazrui's PDF2TXT utility from
http://www.empowermentzone.com/p2tsetup.exe and you'll never look back for
almost all your PDF reading needs.  :-)

Hi,  I am trying to open and read the PDF Users Guide to Open Book.
I have Adobe 8.1 and have frankly never understood it.  The document reads
a page or two and then says Open Parent Document Button.  This gets me
nowhere.
I also have a trial copy of PDF Magic and it is so magical that I cannot get
it to read the file either as I cannot get it to recognize the file.
Whatever happened to plain old text files anyhow.
I think this file is too big for the e-mail choice of sending to PDF2Text at
Adobe.
Any tips or hints would help my current blood pressure level.  Thanks, Mitch
