PDF to Word Converter

I have not, I was at a Microsoft Vista Launch yesterday and they specifically
said that there was such a converter free from Microsoft, however, with the
licensing issues between Microsoft and Adobe, they could not release the
converter within the Windows products, however, they could make it available
for download. During the conference, we did not have an opprotunity to ask
the name of the software.

What you're talking about is different. Office 2007 has a .pdf converter
add-in on their system, I don't know if it goes from .pdf to Word tho.

Some of the freebie acrobat clones can save as RTF, which Word can read.
Bear in mind that even with full Acrobat, what you end up with depends on
how the original was created. If the PDF was created from a non-word
processing application, the result of converting to Word may be completely
unusable.

Hi Derek,

The item that's available for free download
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...11-3E7E-4AE6-B059-A2E79ED87041&displaylang=en)
is an add-in to create PDF files from Word. It does _not_ convert PDF
to Word, and Microsoft representatives have told us there is no plan
to create such a converter.

If you have a scanner that supplied OCR software, the OCR may be able
to take a PDF file as input and do the conversion.

If you have a scanner it will probably have come with OCR software. If you
don't want to spend any money, print the document and scan it to OCR (some
OCR software will even handle PDF files directly).

If I understand this correctly, you have created some sort of a program that
will convert from a .pdf to Word and you're looking for testers. I must say
that I would be afraid to use a program created by someone who doesn't use
proper spelling or capitalization. Coding is an exact science and something
as simple as a misspelled word can cause a program to malfunction. I'd
rather beta test a first draft of the next version of Windows on a
production computer.
