Acrobat eh? Bah. Adobe don't seem to have 64bit targets for any of their products, and don't seem to care (the flash plugin still doesn't have support for 64bit systems, several years after they finally did v9 for *nix), which rules it out for me. I'm not downgrading my entire system to 32 bit for one piece of software.
pdftotext (and pdftohtml and pdftoabw and pdftops) all produce unacceptable results at the moment. Formatting, I can live without, but lots of non-text crap spread through the output isn't cool. I have a feeling this is something to do with whomever created the pdfs I'm testing on. I keep seeing file:///pathtosometextfile at the top and bottom of every page. I'd do a s/r on it, but it's not consistent.
I've never liked pdfs. Unless I was printing something, of course. In which case they're great.
