getting docs out of 1p

Yes, you can.
Export your data as 1PIF, and within the folder the export creates, there will be an attachments folder. It will contain per-item subfolders, one each for your records in 1Password that contain attachments. The name of those folders is the UUID of the associated record in 1Password and now in the data.1pif file.
Select only the items you want exported if you wish to export a subset. The Export dialog will ask if you want some or all of your items exported.

@neex - actually, let me get some clarity on the issue. I hate to disagree with @MrC, but if you're a 1password.com member, then Documents are not the same thing as old-style attachments in standalone 1Password, and they cannot be exported easily in bulk, as attachments in standalone 1Password could (and still can). Documents are fundamentally different from older-style attachments, and one of the downsides to them is exactly what you've experienced. Can I ask what you're trying to accomplish? I'm presuming here that the entire reason you put these things into 1Password to begin with is that they're sensitive documents you want to have with you, but not in readable form, right? Why are you trying to export them?

@Lars - Plainly stated, I want them out of 1p precisely because I do not like the way Documents works as compared to the old style attachments. 1p simply has not met my expectations with regard to the way I like to store/organize files. (Also, now that I know Documents are not easily exported... I'm even more anxious about the matter!) That's not a complaint, per se (although, I am happy to provide more details if you are interested in feedback), as I recognize how many users might find the new implementation valuable. In any event, for now, I think I understand the dilemma, and I'll work on opening/saving the docs.

@MrC - indeed, .1pif is showing its age. At the time it was released, it encompassed every facet of 1Password data, included everything that could be done/wanted. But as time has moved on and 1Password has progressed, it's gotten less comprehensive. We're working on (for lack of a better word) 1pif2 (or whatever it winds up eventually being called, for exactly that reason.
