Not necessarily - if the PDF was created from graphics files with the
appearance of text then you will need OCR to convert the content to text.

You might want to ask in a newsgroup about Adobe Acrobat. This one
is about Microsoft Word.

I don't like working with .pdf files because I know nothing about
them. I have been sent a .pdf file that is 6 mb in size. I am
trying to save it as a text file using the Adobe Reader 7 command
series of File, Save as Text. When I go to the saved file there is
no text in it.

I checked the file properties and can find no evidence that the
file is "locked' or in any other way set to prevent copying. I
need some suggestions on how to save the darn thing as a text file.

Thanks
