If you're like me, many times you've wanted to copy the text out of a pdf file and paste it into another document. I never knew a good way to do this - until now!
Adobe has two online conversion tools to convert a pdf document into text or html:
1) An online form for documents on the internet
2) An email service for documents on your local drive or intranet
Cool! Check it out.
Note to the user: Adobe says, "By submitting content through these tools, you understand and agree that Adobe may occasionally access the content you submit for purposes of quality control and administration of the conversion service," so you probably shouldn't submit anything you think is secret, personal, or illegal.

What's wrong with clicking on the "text select" tool in Acrobat Viewer & simply copy & pasting?
Apparently, nothing. I learned something new today! But now I feel like an idiot.
Thanks, Steve.
