[nabs-l] Fwd: PDF to TXT 3.2 released

[Arielle Silverman]

Hi all,

Does anyone know if the PDF to TXT software will convert  scanned
(image) PDF's, or just PDF's created in Adobe directly?

I am asking this because, as many of us know, it is much more
difficult to read a scanned PDF than a directly generated one without
using Kurzweil, Open Book or other specialized software.
