I prefer ABC to Adobe itself. Adobe leaves lots of artefacts, while ABC blue page no. helps a lot really helps a lot.

Often if the letter is a non-standard code then you will get problems such as losing ?.

The other you find is losing Fl and Fi so flag becomes .ag. and fixing becomes .xing

I always save the output as an rtf or word doc then save as a txt to edit. However always look at the raw rtf. If there is a repeatbale pattern for problems based on formatting then this is the time to solve itThis has the advantage of keeping the non-standard stuff. When you save as txt it then asks you to decide on substitue characters/page returns etc. You can experiment with substituions and encoding and often after a few tries you get better results.

For headers and footers don't forget you can find/replace for fonts size, font, position etc etc.

IThe ideal output will have headers/footers a different size, page Numbes as Page Number and any footnotes in subscript. This is then a doddle to clear up.
