If not Jamals I use the pdftotext from Linux it has keep layout mode and can
do multiple files. It can convert to html and to text. If you need a
command line executible for Windows I have a version that I compiled in
Visual studio 2005. Just email me at whistler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and I will send
you it.

Subject: Adobe PDF Conversion Question
Hi,
When I use Adobe Reader 8 and save a PDF as a text file, it puts character
65535 or something like that in the file all over the place instead of
single quotes. It also leaves no paragraph breaks. Does anyone know of a
way, besides editing the whole 900 or more page book I am reading by hand,
to get paragraph breaks to work right and get rid of funny characters? I
can't guarantee that I'm going to make them break where the original book
does.
Better yet, do you know of a program that can do the job right the first
time?
Thanks.
Jim
