Diane (bless her) posted the trick to get pdf translated into text via email.

Here's the address (put it in your address book):

pdf2txt@adobe.com

Then in the body of the message put the url of the pdf file. The Senate report is broken into pieces. See: http://www.senate.gov/~y2k/documents/100dayrpt/

For example, the Executive Summary's URL is:

http://www.senate.gov/~y2k/documents/100dayrpt/exec_sum_100days.pdf

... so you would paste that into the body of the email. No other text. The subject doesn't matter so you can label it for your convenience in finding it later (i.e. Senate Executive Summary).

Send it off and within a few minutes it comes back in text form. Graphs and tables get all screwed up. Oh well. At least it is something. Within a few days someone usually converts the important stuff to HTML, so keep your eyes open.

I think you can also request a pdf2html conversion from Adobe.
