It is very cheap, in fact, it costs nothing!
if you're interested please contact me directly and I'll send you the free
commandline version of the Infty Reader plus the universal printer software
for converting pdfs to tiff.
It's all free and legal.

The Infty software also outputs data in the LaTeX format which is pure text
and can be read and updated in any text editor. That said, the EdSharp text
editor offers the option of reading the LaTeX source without getting too
destracted by the syntax.

Again, I stress, none of this costs a penny. Please let us not be economical
with the truth especially when people come to us in fgood faith for
impartial advice.


Regards,
Paul
