Jak & Ron ,

 Sorry about the lost time .
 I don't know how I missed the previous email , but if it
 had a generic subject like "LINKS" , and was from "Jacobs" ,
 I must have discarded it in the flood of spam . 
 <jak@bailatango.com> filters directly to my "people" file so
 it was captured .


 Google apparently doesn't convert big documents like these
 reports .
 
 Last night , I found 2 methods for converting PDFs to HTML :

   http://www.gohtm.com/
    / free online conversion , emailed . ( only received files
     after prodding them this morning . )  This service
     has a limit of 2MB files so appears to balk on the 2.17MB
      http://www.nyc.gov/html/omb/pdf/cb7_03.pdf  file
   
   http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdftohtml/
    / open source conversion tool .

 ( Adobe's own conversion service is uselessly crude . )


 Neither of these conversion programs converts tables to HTML
 tables , which I had assumed they would .
 But I think there is enough structure using <div> and class=3D 
 to automate extraction . It's just more work using utilities
 I've created for parsing tables .

 This is the worst weekend to attack this because I have lots
 to get done by the 15th . I'd rather attack it after that .

 In any case , zeroing in on particular pages of interest
 would illuminate where to start .


 Sorry again to have missed the first posting of the links .
 
 Let me know what's most important and when it's needed .
