Convert PDF to DOC ?????

[young@restless.com]

I have a .pdf document that I want to edit. Reads fine in Acrobat
Reader. Graphics plus text.

I thought I might try to import it into MSWord, but it seems to fail.

Any Suggestions?

Thanks

Word cannot read Adobe PDF format. You copy use Adobe's Text Tool (if
the creator of the PDF enabled this option) to copy text to clipboard,
then paste into Word for editing a "copy" of the document.

For more information, read "help" in Adobe and Word.

This might be a good alternative http://www.intrapdf.com/index.html It
doesn't convert PDF to DOC but it will convert PDF to HTML and you can then
use Word to open the HTML file and edit it and resave as an HTML or Word DOC

In 'Acrobat Reader 6' thiere is an option on the 'File' menu to 'Save as
text'
I believe thiere is a similar option in AR5 ('export as text' or something).

Patrick,

Cool. Thanks for reporting that. I wonder for how many years that option
was broadcasting to my eyes without me seeing. I'll use that a lot.

thanks,

Thus Select and Copy the pictures seperately to destination (Wordpad/Word).
I found above to not actually work directly to Wordpad (just got AR icon).
However, pasteing into 'Paint' then Copying again, the picture could be
Pasted into 'Wordpad'.
