Hi Jamal,
The problem with converting PDF's using PDF2TXT is that the formatting is
not reserved. This is particularly evident when viewing tables in PDF files.

FYI -- PDF2TXT
http://EmpowermentZone.com/p2tsetup.exe
converts PDFs to text *much* faster than Adobe Reader. It can convert
any number of PDFs in a directory with a single command. It can convert
PDFs that Adobe Reader either cannot or will not convert. <grin>
