Version: 3.1
The e-mail request for a demo license is such a pain that I'm not going to bother (and I'm probably going to purchase 30-50 seats of a similar app).

I'm not sure why the other reviewer was not able to get this to work. You just drop it in the Applications folder and it automatically gets added as a Service.
I was also very easily able to add new steps to the PDF workflow to extract text from a print job using this utility. This is extremely handy in programs like FileMaker which do not offer full export abilities -- now you can easily email a "printed" exported text file with fully summarized and calculated data along with text fields and merge fields, instead of being limited to just exporting fields. This is extremely handy and solves a problem many (well... maybe not MANY) OS X users have had since upgrading from OS 9 -- the loss of PrinttoPICT and its "print to a text file" capabilities.
It is perhaps a little expensive for what amounts to a one-trick pony, but I use it at work every day and feel it was worth it. It silently saves me tons of frustration and makes my database work way easier.
