Read the feedback Mar 2, 2009

A lot of people had problems with this program. Also, for me it's useless because it's not Mac compatible. But thanks for the thought, anyway...sometimes things like this do work out.

Thanks a lot! Mar 2, 2009

I had purchased one...however, an extra doesn't hurt! The drag and drop doesn't seem to work?? But I can still add the files by browsing.

Is your PDF a scanned document? Mar 2, 2009

If the PDF in question is a scanned document, I am afraid only OCR will help and PDF conversion software will most likely be useless. On the other hand, if you are working on PDFs that contain selectable text, there is a handy piece of freeware you could use.

Here is what Hollmen's site says about AutoUnbreak (with my emphasis):
AutoUnbreak removes line breaks from formatted (or plain) text input. This is useful if you want to reformat a text document, where lines have been cut short, e.g. when copying text from an Adobe PDF file to a word processor. Thus, the program removes any extraneous lines.

AutoUnbreak was designed to remove these carriage returns/ line breaks in a smart manner. For instance it will try to reconstruct any hyphenated words, and it will not merge lines if they e.g. are a part of a numbered or bulleted list. AutoUnbreak is customizable, and you can change its "rules" by altering the plain text files "merge.set" and "exceptions.set" to fit your needs.

The program gets its input from the clipboard, and should retain any (text) formatting.

I've been using this for years to turn PDFs into RTFs and I have been very pleased with it. You can download AutoUnbreak here: http://digital.hollmen.dk/products/autounbreak/index.htm
