Hello everybody,

could somebody tell me if it is possible to extract equations from a paper
in a PDF file ? My objective is to paste them to a TEX file, and to render
after to a DVI file to achieve the same result than in the original PDF file
(I understand papers are usually written in TEX files and rendered after to
DVI or PDF files). I know I can do this with plain text, but I do not know
how to handle this situation with equations (although it is possible to copy
them as images and then paste).

Thanks in advance.
