[Corpora-List] Comments on PDF Conversion

[Ken Litkowski]

Thanks to all who have replied.  After I've made sense of it all (many 
nice intriguing suggestions), I'll post a summary.  A few further 
comments are in order.

I only have Acrobat reader, so I can't create in it.  But, it seems to 
me that it should be like any other word processor where you can insert 
things like footnotes, headers, figures, tables, etc.  With at least 
WordPerfect (with its reveal codes), you can see that codes are used to 
mark things up.  Musn't Adobe have something similar in Acrobat?

I've gotten into the innards of pdf2html code, but I haven't yet sussed 
out the control codes, so this was what I'm after.  My objective is to 
to mine ACL conference and workshop proceedings for new lexical items 
(particularly since they have such a nice common format).  So, it seems 
to me that getting it right for our community is a worthwhile objective.

Thanks again,
	Ken
