Tobago · 02-14-2010, 09:46 AM

I have a problem with some PDB-files, which are 'Tagged PDFs',
created with Adobe Reader for Palm OS. Those I cannot convert to any other format.

Does somebody know/has an idea how I can extract the PDF (or just the text!)
from the PDB again (then to convert into a common format)?

Having a rather large library of those 'PDF-PDBs', so being unable to import/convert them is quite problematic.

I want to get away from the PDF-format to a common,
open ebook-format and reader, but this currently stops for me the proceeding.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
