Subject: AD schema outsid the PDF?

I'm looking for correction assistance in the form of improved access to the documentation.

The AD schema documents (MS-ADA1 etc) are extensive, and apparently match that which you can download from an AD server.  However, I wanted to extract the schema from the docs (to verify that the docs are correct, and because the terms of use on the docs are very clear).

I've tried things like pdftotext over the PDFs (followed by a python script to munge it), but while I have this almost working, it seems sub-optimal.  Would it be possible to include the schema as a single text file, as well as the annotated PDF?

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
