PDF to DOC - File Format Conversion

G

Guest

Folks:



I am looking for shareware or freeware that can convert a PDF file (100
pages of graphics, mostly)
into the Microsoft's Word (*.doc) format.

Thanks in advance.



Thanks,
Jo.

hmm...?

i think this is a profitable market
and you won't have any luck seeking
a freeware....

windows market place in addition
to the office website on microsoft.com
has the additional information about
this popular convertor.

ps: is your reply settings functional?
i noted this one simple question was crossed posted
throughout a number of newsgroups....

the moderator may not be pleased...

Pardon my jumping in - but there is no moderator. I agree that the hardware
group & the help/support group are not likely the best group for this
question (I'm removing the hardware group in my reply). But crossposting is
*way* better than multiposting a single message to a bunch of different
groups!

To the OP: google for Able2Doc.

Folks:


Just found a small (674 KB) software application that converts PDF to Word
format.
The application is called "PDF2Word" and is available at www.downloads.com

This application has no restrictions on the size of PDF file it will convert
to Word.
No frills, simple to use, and does a perfect job.

No need to throw money, sarcasm, or discouragement at a simple problem.
Just specific, hardcore knowledge required to get the job done
Thanks for all the attempts anyway.



Cheers,
Jo.

it get imported and formatted?

To find out the answers to those questions, I think a really good suggestion
would be, try it and see.

This isn't a Windows issue, it isn't an Office issue!

OK...not sure why you'd bother to post rhetorical questions, tho.

no problem,
i know you were trying to provide
some advice.

the reason i posted them was for
the o.p. and to look for these aspects
while trying out the program.

freewares are pretty good but sometimes
we tend to expect great things out of them....

again, they were questions that one could ask
oneself while trying out the freeware.

hopefully, the o.p. will come back and
provide an assessment of it....

Have you tried using Adobe Reader version 7.0.8? You can use it to load
the pdf file and then you can do File, Save as ... and select Word
format. See if this helps.

There is no File - Save As - Word format. There is a Save As text feature -
but that's all you get. Text, no pictures, no formatting. I just tried a
simple document. It seems okay but I didn't check it real closely for
errors.
