First post, hi everyone!
I stumbled across a program called "Free PDF to Word converter" which does just what it says.
My current trick for the Palm or the EB1150 is to use this program convert to a .doc file, then load the .doc and save as a text file then import using the various tools. (In fact you may not need to save to a text file, but I do this as I read on a Treo 755p and my wife uses the EB1150.
www.hellopdf.com is where I found it, and I didn't notice any spyware issues after installing.
