Finally, I don't know how the pdf file was created,
"pdfinfo file.pdf" tells you that. And acrobat "properties" menu entry. And some other tools, I suppose.
I seem to recall something that did "pdf-to-pdf", that is clean up the PDF.
I know of a ps2ps, which has to be used on output generated by acrobat before working on it.
At the very least I'd look at pdftotext and pdfimages to extract text and images. I've used them successfully in the past.
Unfortunately the former can be very literal at times and produces output interspersed with with footers :-)
Often I have to try with several programs till I get the past from PDF that I want. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
