yes. Uninstalling 6 is not necessary. But wait, I'm trying out the various solutions I proposed on the file you sent, and they are NOT convincing to say the least ...

It opens your pdf fine, but saving as .txt has it choke on page 21. I have used the recommended conversion methos repeatedly in the past, and they have worked fairly well, but I had never used it with a file as complex as the dreaded Bagheri file. Have you considered getting in touch with the author and requesting another format? I'm afraid this is the only thing I can recommend, having unsuccessfully tried all the other options :-( fx
