Hi,
Maybe it’s just me that believed obvious that this couldn’t be done, but just recently I was wandering through Acrobat 5’s menues and came up with File | Batch Processing | Save All as RTF, which, if the document isn’t protected, will export a [number of] PDF to RTF. I thought I’d share the news here as I’d never heard of this before.
I think you mean, version 5 of the Acrobat Reader and not Acrobat, which is the full product.
Now check out version 6 of the Reader and let us know what you find there 
BUT, make sure you uninstall version 5 before installing version 6.

Hey Dave,
I know Acrobat is the full product, and I did mean Acrobat. I don’t think Adobe would make this option available for AR 5.0 users (nor for AR 6.0 ones), but the truth is I don’t know.
If you tell me that the tip was something new, I’ll volunteer for the Acrobat Users R&D Team right away 
.
I remember using Acrobat 4.0 along with AR 5.0 at work, and honestly, I don’t recall that Export to Text feature either. I just hated the few options AR 5 would show under the File menu (as compared to Acrobat 4 – don’t even think of batch functionality), so if it had been there it woulda been quite perceptible.
Maybe Jeff’s release took place sometime between AR 5.0 and AR 6.0 and we never got to know
