Thanks to all. I'm still struggling to find a way to share easily 
common documents with non-Context world. I thought I would have solved 
passing directly form the final pdf output to doc/rtf format, but it 
seems that I will have to give up.

<excerpt>Hi to all,

I was trying to convert form pdf to rtf in order to share docs with
non-conTeXt people. Acrobat 7.0 allows with "save as" to export to
many formats.

When I convert a pdf created with MSword (or something like: I tried
also with some on-line pdfs) I have substantially no problems.

But when I convert pdfs created with context or latex I have no blank
spaces in the output rtf. Also, accents became autonomous ' (like in
source). This seems to be systematic: same behavior with conversion to 
doc or html, same behavior if I use Trapeze converter instead of
Acrobat.


E.g.:

pdf in            -->        out (rtf, doc, ...):

               questo
<fontfamily><param>LastResort</param>�</fontfamily> un test     -->    
questo`euntest


I suppose it depends on pedf source generation.

Any hints?

tex does not have a space, and spacing ends up in skips; also,
sometimes slot 32 is used for whatever char needs a slot; 

your problem is not related to pdftex, but a bug in the exporter which
is unable to handle arbitrary encodings 

an option is to use texnansi encoding which is the least problematic
one
