I tried Foxit--the version for 32-bit, run on pclos. Use the selection tool It says as soom=n 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 Foxit for Linux is obsolete and unmaintained: it is abandonware (version 1).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.
But beware, the wikipedia says on it:

Apparently you have to use the "custom" install, and make sure to uncheck "conduit". The version I have in wine is a bit older than this crap described in those links.
Yes, make sure you uncheck conduit. It's a virus, even tho the virus people won't admit it. And it's a bitch to get rid of!!! somebody could make quite a bit of money writing a script or a program to get rid of it and selling it for $29.95, like everything else in Windows.
Unfortunately, the pasting is incorrect (the layout):

It should be this:
