Subject: [ubuntu-za] PDF converter

Good day everybody,

I have a problem. I need to extract text data from a huge pdf document. The document is about 12000 pages long. I need to use a proper converter to get the data into either a spreadsheet or a Libreoffice Writer document (or MS Word). Is there a tool or application that can do this for me? I use Linux Mint 10 and Linux Mint 12.

I tried importing using Libreoffice but it gets opened by Draw which wont export teh text for me.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Regards,

Rodemire
