List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi, list. Have a problem here. It is with the pdf files I have. some pdf files will convert with no problem using pdftotext, but I have some Linux books from Sam's which simply will not convert. Trying to do so in Adobe Acrobat Reader didn't help. when I inquired about it Sam's said they did that for copy protection. Is there anyway to force a pdf file into text when it has been secured? I'm getting frustrated because although Sam's will give me ebooks they insist on pdf format only.
