Hey, all, I ran across a link to a software called
PDF2Word. It claims to convert PDF files to Word files (surprise!), but it also claims that it "Supports encrypted PDF files."
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this product, or barring that, if anyone who already
has an encrypted PDF or two (like Amazon sells) lying about, would be willing to try the
free trial and let me know if it will, indeed, convert those files to something that could be read on say, Sony's PRS500 or the iLiad? I know that for the iLiad you'd would have to then re-convert the output back to properly sized PDF, but it's supposed to support RTF eventually, so it's still a good data point.
In any case, the important bit is can the software get a viable RTF out of an encrypted PDF. Once you're there, you can go wherever you need to, and the $40 price tag starts looking like a pretty cheap ticket.
