This page is for exploring how to speed this process of porting PDF documents. The main help page (which needs updating) is at: Help:Porting content from PDF format.
Acrobat has an "export as text" function which makes this easier - save to RTF or Word format. If you open this in OpenOffice v 2.3 or greater, you should be able to export it as MediaWiki format. (Does this work smoothly?)
Useful links:
- Export PDFs as (formated) text - help.adobe.com. Note: "Images in the PDF are saved by default in JPEG format." Is their location saved? Is there a way of smoothing the process of putting the image in right place in the wiki page?

Images
Are images saved automatically during file export? It appears so for exporting to HTML/XML, at least. Do any of the formats include tags to indicate image location?
