    Thanks to all who have replied. After I've made sense of it all (many
    nice intriguing suggestions), I'll post a summary. A few further
    comments are in order.

    I only have Acrobat reader, so I can't create in it. But, it seems to
    me that it should be like any other word processor where you can insert
    things like footnotes, headers, figures, tables, etc. With at least
    WordPerfect (with its reveal codes), you can see that codes are used to
    mark things up. Musn't Adobe have something similar in Acrobat?

    I've gotten into the innards of pdf2html code, but I haven't yet sussed
    out the control codes, so this was what I'm after. My objective is to
    to mine ACL conference and workshop proceedings for new lexical items
    (particularly since they have such a nice common format). So, it seems
    to me that getting it right for our community is a worthwhile objective.

    Thanks again,
            Ken
