Convert PDF to DOC or FM

[O'Laoghaire Micheal]

Try using Nuance's PDFConverter4 ( http://www.nuance.com/pdfconverter/) for converting PDF to MS Word.

It's not perfect, but it does a reasonably good job.

Faults
Internal xrefs and hypertext links usually get broken. 
Sometimes, some graphics get dropped as well.

Hi,
The question is, where did the PDF come from.
For instance, in some PDF files created where I work, the text is actually exported from a graphics program as a graphic, and therefore it cannot be easily turned into Word or Frame. In other words, are you sure that the text in the PDF is really text?

Hiya folks,

I have a PDF file that I want to edit using either FrameMaker or Word.
 However, when I use Acrobat 7 to save it as either DOC or RTF, the only thing that gets saved are the headings.  At first I thought it was the bookmarks that were being saved, but the same thing happened after I deleted the bookmarks and then resaved it.

Any ideas on what's going on, or why this is happening?  No security has been implemented in the PDF.

I can save the file as PS or EPS and it seems large enough to be the full document, not just the six or so pages of bookmarks/headings, but I don't know how to convert PS or EPS to FM or DOC.  Ideas?

Thanks!

--Doug
