PDF2RTFService is a free filter service from DEVONtechnologies that enables any Cocoa application able to read rich text files (RTF), for example TextEdit or Pages, to open Adobe PDF, PostScript (PS) and Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files as paginated rich text documents. The actual conversion is done by Quartz and the PDFKit of Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" and PDF2RTFService post-processes and paginates the output.
GUNTIS Almost every second word in the opened PDF document in TextEdit is together with another word. Almost half of the spaces between the words are missing.
My system: Mac OS X "Leopard" 10.5.2, default keyboard input: Latvian. Latvian text in PDF document. (Created from Pages 3.0.2). (Version 1.1)
PETER DA SILVA Summary in the index is "enables any application to read RTF files". In fact it should read something like "Allows applications to read PDF files". (Version 1.1)
ERIC BOEHNISCH-VOLKMANN It doesn't appear in the Services menu. It simply enables Cocoa applications such as TextEdit or our DEVONthink to open PDF files and convert them on-the-fly to RTF. It's a faceless file converter. (Version 1.0)
