I have one user that makes his posts in pdf format. It has some custom formatting meaning some tables and sometimes some colored text. I would like to post them in a forum but not as a attachment so the contents are searchable. I just can't seem to find a program to convert it to my satisfaction. Here is a sample: HERE Any suggestions?

Yea I tried it as text but the formatting is pretty much hosed.
If you look at the link I posted you will see what I mean.
But just as a note I have a old copy of adobe pro 6.x I believe so maybe your version has a better convert engine if it is probably newer.

Well I tried able2extract but I get pretty much the same bad results. Slightly better but still the format is a little jumbled.
So I guess I will have to do it the hard way.
Build a html template with some tables convert the pdf. and just grab sections of the text and insert it into each table.
What a pain.
