PDF to Text Converters (.txt files)

If you are looking to convert your PDF into the simplest format available try one of these PDF to text converters. These will take a PDF file and convert it to a .txt (or sometimes an .rtf) file. Personally I much prefer .txt files to Word documents when I just need to work with plain text. Since these programs are converting PDF files to .txt it they don't support things like columns, tables, images, and the like. Just the plain text, baby.
