Mac OS 10.2 Users PDF to RTF conversion utility!
Greetings. I just stumbled across a neat Mac OS 10.2 utility for converting PDF documents to RTF! I haven't completed playing around with the demo. I haven't actually tried to get the converted document on my Palm yet. But so far I converted an 112KB PDF to a 24KB RTF. Since RTF is a standard format for WordSmith, this could be a great way to get PDFs to you handheld. Here's the URL:
http://www.metaobject.com/Products.html They want $22 for it, and the demo puts all sorts of extra text crap on the pages, but I'm going to play around with it a bit more. Not being a Terminal-head I was frustrated by the difficulty using the Unix pdftohtml utility for converting PDF to HTML option to use with iSilo. I will report back when I finish playing. But I was so excited by the prospect that I wanted to post the discovery! Gary |

You can also read the resulting RTF file with Winword and export it to HTML. This way, you can read it with other readers beside WordSmith.
Just an idea. I am curious to hear how well Metaobject performs in converting PDF files. |

Yes, very good, dig up a seven year old thread in order to spam your overpriced product. Let's see how well that works out for you.
EDIT: It looks like the post I'm responding to is no more. Please move along, nothing to see here. Nothing to see here. Last edited by frabjous; 11-27-2010 at 07:00 PM. |
