Hello.

We have some PDF files that contain data. They are actually drug schedules (formularies), but the important fact is that there is information in the files that we would like to extract.

Does anyone know how to read a PDF file? I can view/print the file with Acrobat Reader, but I am unable to extract the raw data. I tried printing to a file with the generic test only print driver, but that doesn't work. I think the letters are all printed like graphics.

Does anyone know how to convert PDF files to an image file? As a less-favourable solution, we could OCR an image file to get the information.

Any help would be appreciated,
Joe
