Re: Editing a PDF

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

I used this a few years back to extract text and graphics from PDFs my 
then-company had acquired with some external IP from a defunct company (no 
sources available).  It does a credible job with both text and graphics 
visually, but if the PDF is anything more elaborate than vanilla inline text and 
images, you'll end up with each group of text and each graphic in a separate 
floating box with no flow between any of them and you'll need to recreate the 
layout in whatever app you're transferring the doc to.
