Aah!

Thank you!

If I take you up on that...I'll try to make it only something you would likely have some interest in.

Meanwhile, I suppose I should fiddle around and try to learn something. Like, how to use the online programs, without getting roped into paying a subscription fee.

You pretty have the online ones pegged. First you have to have the (pdf) file on your local computer, then upload it, then fetch the converted file. And, you do end up divulging your email, which no doubt results in some amount of spam.

I download the pdfs anyway, if it's a case or issue I'm interested in, then convert using a command line program named "pdftotext." I either have to insert paragraph breaks by hand, or place the text between <pre> - </pre> HTML code.
