Yes it extracted parts of the file

Well - I tried this program. It was fast. It did extract a bunch of the information to an rtf file. It surprisingly extractracted included graphics. However, it made total hash out formatting, lost font information, and appears to have omitted significant chunks of text. I am not going to analyze this program completely as it is obviously not going to serve my purposes. However, it may serve yours. I need to recover the original formatted text from a PDF file produced by a program which only operates on Classic. That the operating system before OS X. Apple elimnated support for such programs a long time ago.

Excellent Product! Converts without issues.

I just tested several other converter application products; paid versions too. And they all failed to correctly convert a PDF to a RTF format.
This product correctly converted my PDF document to a RTF color format. And it was able to quickly create my RTF output without any issues. The RTF output was created as one file; this was an important feature for me. And it maintain the colors of the original PDF document.

You will get text...lots and lots of scrambled text

If the PDF was created by Excel, then the text will be output by columns and not by rows. The results is scrambled text.

Basically, this extracts text in the sequence that text segments were added to the PDF file, which is not necessarially across rows. Thus, you will get the text, but each line is one chunk that is ordered by when it was added to the PDF file, not by where it is on the page.
