  1. Thanks, Danny, I’ll have to try it. If it exports text better than Acrobat Pro does, then it’ll be a very good thing to have. Still, though, I’ve got a lot of articles that are pdfs, but scanned images instead of texts. They’re okay to read on a desktop or laptop, but no good for an iPhone or smaller screen.
