[OS X TeX] Track Changes - Functionality for collaborative work

[Rolf Schmolling]

Hello!

I'd like to add (since there were some commercial programs for  
conversion of PDF to text mentioned like TextLightning) that there is  
the free "pdf2rtf- service" of DEVONtechnologies:
<http://www.devon-technologies.com/files/PDF2RTFService.tgz>
which works reasonably well from TextEdit. One can open PDF-files  
which are converted to RTF. Gets the pagination quite right,  
including footnotes. One can either copy and paste into Word  
(textEdit saves the converted file as "rftd" which Word cannot open).  
Then one would have to reformat the text to make it resemble a word- 
document by applying Word-Styles but it is  just tedious.

The only catch I have: when using "eco.sty" TextEdit cannot show that  
font, while Word can. It's then a mixture of Helvetica and LM-Roman08- 
mediaeval-numbers… Still it works better than TextLightning.

Greetings,
Rolf
