HI

Acrobat 5 (carbon on OSX) allows to export in rtf. I used it once to 
check a document on grammar. It works quite well for text but not for 
formula's.

Following the discussion about hiding/showing material onscreen during a 
presentation, is there a PDF viewer that allows one to annotate the 
slides during the presentation? I have in mind pen/tablet based input to 
scribble a remark or circle a key point. It would be nice if the 
annotations could be saved for later, but not overwrite the original 
presentation.

Thanks Enrico, but it doesn't work in full screen mode. Graham

.tex seems to've been adequately covered, but the .pdf -> .rtf
conversion hasn't been touched upon beyond Adobe Acrobat 5, the full
version. I beta-tested a nifty utility for this, Marcel Weiher's
TextLightning service for Mac OS X---www.metaobject.com, and can
recommend it highly. It improves upon Acrobat 5 by getting paragraphs
and more formatting. (simple) Mathematics sort of come through insofaras
.rtf allows, if one has the fonts needed at the destination.

Jerome---I've just installed this new version and I get the same error
