If you can do in in 2 minutes in Euphoria, you will be essentially claiming to be a unmatched genius
I don't claim to be an unmatched genius, but ... with the caveat that I'm using system() to call non-Euphorian 3rd party applications to do all the hard work, I claim that I can write an application that will do a to and from conversion and extraction and even allowing a human to manually perform some editing in less than 2 minutes with Euphoria. It's simple really - just call htmltopdf to convert the PDF file into an html file, open the whole html file with LibreOffice and let a human do some editing, then manually invoke LibreOffice's print-to-file functionality to convert it back to a PDF file again...
You still show ignorance. If you have to keep on switching between 3rd party applications, everybody knows they can do it. WRITE a full application in Euphoria, call your htmltopdf then call other editors and search and replace and give it to any user to do comfortably without keeping on explicitly calling 3rd party application. THAT is what the guy want and you have not don it yet given the hours you have spent talking half truths.
