Excellent technique, however make no mistake every OCR that extracts text from PDF does not necessarily convert to error free text, there are bound to be errors that you need to fix manually, probably fine if your document is just a few pages but if your document is large fixing errors could be pretty cumbersome.
Good news is you can do so online without downloading any software at all. At http://www.onlinedocumentconversion.com
you can upload, convert to doc rtf or txt formats online & then save. Plus you have the advantage of errors being fixed by site operators for you.
It is advisable to use this site when you are short of time, OR you have largish documents, not confidential and you don't mind external operators help you or edit for you at cents 50 a page or so.
BTW Free sites often do not have manual support nor online 'after sales service' of editorial staff.
Nice spam jerkwad.
There is no OCR going on here.
Oddly enough, PDFedit is a pdf editor not an OCR software.
OKFINE; for installing it, PDFedit, which I've already done, this is a great article. But I came looking for a tutorial on the actual use of PDFedit; "howto" edit PDF files with the thing. Maybe I queried non-optimally.
