Hi all

I'm running Kubuntu 10.04 and have to copy text from PDF files.

Some work, others don't so they must have copy protection set. I Googled 
for ideas and have tried different Readers, PDF2PS and then PS2PDF, Open 
in Gimp and save as JPG and then open in OO and convert to PDF again. 
Nothing works for me!!

Has anyone got a foolproof way of doing this as it is rather urgent as I 
have to finish a project.

Thanks a lot

Ian Whitfield.
