It depends. If you are lucky, getting the text out of it is really
easy. You can easily get the text out of a PDF generated by PDF
Maker.
However, if the file is compressed and/or encrypted, you need to
do a fair amount of job to get to the text... And usually, PDF
files are at least compressed.
Regards,
Gabriele.
