The trouble with this is that a PDF is not exactly "text-editor
friendly" as she requested. Has anyone tried my suggestion of Address
Book Exporter? It puts the whole data base into a text file that
opens in Excel with all fields properly and neatly in their own
columns, suitable for editing, and saving out any way you like. It's
amazing.
