The way to get Macs to do that is to fill the bathtub with fuming sulphuric acid (12 molar) to just below the rim, dip the Mac into the bath for 20 minutes, remove, shake well and plug it in. The ability to copy PDF files should really kick in after this. Linux has a utility called ps2ascii which will copy the PDF file to a text file. Some formatting will be lost. It would be a wise idea to keep a linux computer behind a glass, and break it when emergencies like this arise. A copy of Adobe Blechestrator for 700 dollars Ukrainian will also suffice for the task. It should be pointed out that the old 166 linux computer with 15 inch Nec monitor is a cheaper solution than most other proprietary software garbage ideas you are being trapped into. Computers should be free. EC<:-}
