Convert from Acrobat PDF to MSWord file?

[Leslie]

Is there a way to convert (or "save") Adobe Acrobat PDF's into one MSWord
file? We have an 8 1/2 x 11" book that's made up of over 100 Acrobat PDF's.
We don't have the original Word files that the PDF's were made from. We'd
like to put all the pages into one MSWord file so we can manipulate the page
layouts, the text flow and the font point size, and create a MSWord file with
4 1/4 x 5 1/2" pages. Then save it back as an Acrobat PDF and print our new
smaller size books. I would appreciate your advice!

If you have Adobe Acrobat Profession, there should be a Save As or Export (I
forget which) option that lets you save in Word document format.

If you have Adobe Reader, then your only recourse would be to copy/paste
using the clipboard, assuming that copying/pasting hasn't been disallowed by
whoever created the .pdf.

Thank you for your reply and assistance, Herb. I do have Acrobat
Professional and I didn't realize it had the capability to save a PDF back to
a Word file. I tried it and it works! The indenting for bullets and
numbering is lost and needs to be reset, but otherwise this is great! Thank
you so much for youradvice, Herb!
