Default good cheap/free PDF to Word converter required


I currently have Adobe Acrobat 11, from before it was sharecropped, on some
older systems, Mac, Win 7. Acrobat 11 is no longer supported, and hasn’t
been supported for a Very Long Time. Acrobat 11 doesn’t work on the latest
versions of Win10 and macOS. I am NOT sharecropping Acrobat DC, at
$15/month/machine; that’s never happening. I need something which will

1 convert PDFs to DOC or DOCX, without page restrictions (some converters
have a 5, or even 3, page limit unless you sharecrop them; I’m looking at
_you_, WPS.)

2 scan in printed documents to PDF, again without restrictions

3 either be free, or reasonably priced, WITH NO BLOODY SHARECROP RENTAL
BULL****. I’m willing to pay, if necessary. I’m not willing to rent.

I think MS Word itself can open up PDF files by itself. You can then
resave it into any of the file formats that Word supports.

I am still using an older version of this software, but it meets the
free criteria.

I have not upgraded because I only use the PDF print function and the
old does that well

yeah, it can, but it misbehaves with PDFs bigger than about 35 MB and flat
refuses to even try PDF bigger than about 40-42 MB.

OK wimp! ;-)


If the PDF is just text, then you can copy/paste that into a new Pages
document. Likewise, individual images can be selected, copied and pasted
into Pages at their original resolution.

A PDF document is not organized like a Word processing document and you
will need a PDF Editor to export it to Word .docx, which you can then
open in Pages. PDF Editors are not included with macOS, nor are they
free, and a good example would be PDFpen 11 or PDFpenPro 11 in the Mac
App Store. The free trial versions found on that vendor's website do not
unlock the ability to export the PDF to Word though.

In either case, if the PDF has restrictions on copying content, then
neither preceding paragraph will work.

Stay away from the magic PDF to Pages converters that are all over the
Internet as you will spend days trying to clean up the grotesque
formatting that results.

Try this thread:

Message-ID:

If size is the limiting factor break the PDF into smaller
files and then convert them? You could then copy and paste them back
together into a DOC using Word or whatever.

Maybe - not tried.
