I never had a problem cutting and pasting PDF text in unprotected documents. Of course the protected ones won't let you do that, if this webpage lets you get around the protection then that's a DMCA violation and people in the US are not allowed to use it. If it's hosted in the US then Adobe's lawyers will probably be sending them a letter.

Anyone know a simple way to convert a PDF to a JPG?? (without the obvious screen capture method, preferably with free software)

some of the hylafax tools will do this, take the pdf, break it down by pages into tiff. then take each 'page' of the tiff and break that into whatever. easy perl script really.

Foxit reader is fast, but there are complex pdf's that it can sometimes not render. If one needs ffidelity, one needs to use Adobe's reader.

I just used this service with a resume and cover letter ... it was pretty dang good and very convenient. BUT the quality is not quite as high as the output from "PrimoPDF" which I have installed on my computer. Can't comment on the quality of picture or odd symbol conversion, but it seems to be nearly as good as primopdf which is pretty good -- though I'll stick w/primo for now.
