Yeah, I'm pretty much ready to delete the file. It's not worth this much time & effort

The only time I can get the " marks to show up is by opening the pdf file with OpenOffice, but then I have the trouble with broken lines, headers, and footers. I'm going to try a search and replace on the marks, then try a conversion with Calibre, using the heuristic process. uwrapping lines, and also the search & replace to remove the headers and footers.

Who knows, maybe it'll work. Or not... at this point, it doesn't really matter.

Thanks for the suggestions... even if they didn't work. Although they led me down different paths to try, so thats a plus!
