I'm going through this very dilemma myself. I decided to stick with XP simply because I can guarantee complete backwards compatibility with all of my software (some of the stuff I use at home is up to 10 years old - haven't needed to update it yet). Some folks say there shouldn't be a problem with t...

Download and boot an Ubuntu Live CD. I believe that poppler-utils is installed by default, but otherwise install that package. Then run something like pdftotext or pdftohtml (does xml too).

Foxit? Adobe suite may be able to do it with Dreamweaver. If you have access to it. For those who haven't seen Foxit, it's a semi free program that lets you read and create PDF.

Poppler is a PDF rendering library that includes utility programs to extract text and images from PDFs, among other things. If these utilities don't work the way you need them to, the Poppler library may aid a programmer in writing one that does. Notes: (1) Poppler is copylefted free software (GPL ...

No, it was put together by a supplier a few years ago. Whoever created it didn't create any meta info / tags on the PDF, otherwise I could possibly export the data to XML.

Well, it just came out that the consumer price index fell by 1% in October, so now we have deflation, EXCEPT for health care, which went up by 40% last year (and still keeps climbing) and of course, energy costs, although gas prices have fallen recently. The U.S. can't really recover as long as we ...

The only thing I can add to this discussion is keep your eye out for second hand Focal speakers if you can find them. The good ones cost the earth when they are new, but their sound is incredible.

Obama's victory speech was fantastic. I couldn't have done a better job. It was a thing of beauty. And wasn't McCain's speech when conceeding the race equally eloquent?

Negatives could be that it's expensive and reduces genetic diversity if heavily used.

Cloning and genetic manupulation techniques have gotten a bad rap recently, for reasons ranging from from fear of the unknown (both rational and irrational) through to the moral debate about manipulating viable embryos - both animal and human. Ultimately, genetic manipulation is nothing new (the sel...

Dried bacon chips or some such thing would give you the same effect surely?

Now if they could create an alarm clock that did the eggs, coffee and morning paper too, that would be something!
