I used Adobe Reader 7.0.9. It produced a text file that is 687 KB. I did open it up and the enire file was there.

Press the Select button and place the cursor anywhere in the document. The press Ctrl-A. This selects the entire document. Then do Ctrl-C. This puts the selected text in the clip board.

I opened both Word Perfect 9 and MS Word 2000, did a Ctrl-V and the entire document came through in both programs. It did dot carry over all the graphics and did not retain table formats but all the text including bolds and italics came through. This is much better than doing doing a simple text save.
