I know there exists a SuSE utility to transform files from PS format to TEXT (I mean readable ASCII). I'm looking for a utility to transform files from PDF format to TEXT. But if this latter does not exist the formeer one will do as I can always save a PDF file to a PS file by ACROREAD. My problem is that I canNOT connect to the web site where these utilities can be downloaded from. I've been trying to get to any of these sites usuccessfuly: http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/contrib/libc6/i386/pstotext-1.8g-1.i386.html ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/contrib/libc6/i386/pstotext-1.8g-1.i386.rpm Does anyoneknow about any mirror site ? Do these utilities work on SuSE 8.2 ? Well .. I have SuSE 9.0 but I installed it only on two lab computers. At home I haven't had any time to clean up and rejuvenate my computer environment ... Thank you in advance. MEM
