How do I turn a PDF file into a workable "word" doc.?

[hermit5]

I would like to fill out a doc. which was down loaded as a PDF file. How can
I change it to a workable Doc. file in WORD so I can Fill it in.

You need third-party software. Word can't convert it.

Print the .pdf file with the Microsoft Office Document Image Writer and then
when the document opens in the MODIW, use the Send Text to Word button to
invoke the OCR utility of the MODIW and send the text to a Word Document.

Is this feature available in Word 2002 (Office XP) or was it added later?

I've got something called a "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" installed as a
printer but it doesn't seem to have a "Send Text" option when I send a PDF
to it.

It was never installed by default in any Word version. Re-run Office setup
from Control Panel > add or remove programs and see if it was available in
that version.

Microsoft Office Document Imaging was first introduced in Office
XP, but the MODI printer driver feature was not added until
Office 2003.

Bugger (as they say down under).

Thanks for the info however.

Thinking... thinking... thinking...
My wife is using Office 2003. Could I install just this feature from her CD,
I wonder?

And it is removed when you install Office 2007, replaced by the Microsoft
XPS Document Writer, I believe (though as I now seem to have MODI installed,
I must have done something to change that).
