Printing *.pdf text only

Post by Kuokkanen »

Is it possible to print from *.pdf files only the text without background and images?
You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.

It's fairly easy to copy the text only and paste it into something else, like Wordpad. Then you can print from the second application. (I did this with the update file for the MatrixGames edition of Pacific War, and it was amazing how much the file size shrank.)
Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?

Tried that. Layout and tables go out of whack.

Matti K I suspect he's a skank scammer with nothing better to do, since they took away his yo-yo. (IMHO)
