Converting documents to PDFs

This is a handy tool for converting documents - I was sent some documents in Microsoft Publisher which I couldn't open - didn't have the right version - but you upload them to this website and they are converted into PDFs and emailed back to you... http://www.pdfonline.com/convert-pdf/

Here are a couple of other sites shared on the list serv : http://www.convertpdftotext.net/Default.aspx
but I think it will depend on whether the original file is locked or not. There are tools to help unlock pdf files too though! http://www.pdfunlock.com/
