PDF to RTF?? PLEASE HELP!!
Dear All,
A few days ago, my Mom gave my Dad a Sony PRS 500 as an anniversary gift. My Dad, an avid cook-book collector, has quite a few on PDF format... but as you know, PDF SUCKS for people without super-vision, as is the case of my Dad. Would any kind heart offer sound advice on which is the best software to convert formats to allow greater zooming??? THANKS!!!!!!!!!!! Jose |

ABBYY FineReader, but it's not cheap.

You can try pdflrf to make those PDF more readable. But if any of them are DRM laden, forget them forever.
Now tell your Dad never again to purchase PDF (of course, it he did purchase them). |

Another option here is to use Elcomsoft's PDF tools to decrypt the PDF. If it's readable, it can usually be decrypted. Once it's decrypted, use normal conversion tools.
