It starts formating for 5 sec or so and walaa iam done. But here's the catch, the paragraph ain't formatted properly when converting from pdf to lrf..
so in PDF it would be
(words)
(empty line)
(words)

in LRF it would be
(words)
(words)
...etc

and also when theres a double empty line it ignores that too
So how am i suppose to do a flawless conversion?
There is a thread I started with a tool that did a great job converting a PDF to txt. But, no one responded. It isn't free. Others I think have had good luck using the Save As Text feature of the FoxIt reader although I admit I haven't tried it.

BTW: I was waiting for the horror in your story and instead them became one of the "never ending threads". (Damn I got sucked in again.)
