Here are a few tips for working with PDFs – in terms of if you get one and need to work with the contents:
- http://www.pdfonline.com/pdf-
to-word-converter/ – this free service will convert a PDF into a Word Document (RTF) – which is very helpful if you trying to pull out tabular data. It does a pretty reasonable job – and the price is right! - Adobe Photoshop Elements – sometimes I get a graphic in a PDF format which is hard to work with. Fortunately I discovered that Photoshop Elements (the cheap version of Photoshop) will import a PDF in so you can pull the graphics out.
