I tried Foxit--the version for 32-bit, run on pclos. Use the selection tool It says as soon as you select, the selection is in memory. So I pasted into TextMaker. It came up with all the words in the right places, separated by $ signs. Do a search and replace $ with space, and the document is just about perfect! Thank you, folks! Now I have a tool that works. Foxit for Linux is obsolete and unmaintained: it is abandonware (version 1). You have to use the Windows version under Wine instead (I have version 6). It figures. Anything that works gets discontinued! I don't care if it's not maintained. That's surely an advantage--it won't get broken! I'll make sure to install it on all my computers while it's still in my repos.
LATER: I have WINE installed, so just for kicks I decided to download Foxit (Windows). I comes with an installer, like a lot of Windows stuff does, but it was not full of spam and sneak-ups (what I call those things that you automatically check that you wish you hadn't). I agreed that I had read the disclaimer, or whatever it was, and it installed under WINE. It opens with a lot more possibilites than the old Linux version. I tried it on the same file as the previous (Linux) Foxit, figured out which of many possibilities I needed and ran it. For some reason TextMaker wouln't remove the $ signs, I had to do that in Libre. Then I exported the Libre file to TextMaker and printed it. It needs some work--work that I don't think the Linux Foxit required--but not a humongous amount. (Double paragraph spacing went to none, for instance.) (I don't use Libre because it won't let me modify formats on the run--it insists that you go thru a couple months course in "styles" which I'm not about to do, now or ever.) since I can have Wine 64/32 or something like that and Foxit (Windows) will run on the 64-bit WINE, I guess I will load that on the other machines, which wouldn't run the Linux Foxit anyway.
