Hi list, When I open the listed pdf file into PDF-TO -TEXT, I get the following message: " Cannot convert August 2008 Beacon.pdf File name=C:\PDF2TXT\PDF\August 2008 Beacon.pdf File size=1945487 Author=Panasonic Communications Co.,LTD.

Jamel, would it be OK for me to send you the file so you can work with it? If so, what is your email address? Thanks for any help you can give me as the file is one of my churches newsletters. Bob
