PDF TO WORD

[T Best]

does anyone know of any piece of sw that can convert a pdf file to word
cleanly?

i have a document with lots of formatting and when i use Adobe 6.0 to
convert the pdf file to word all the formatting gets messed up.

or any ideas on how to make the pdf file editable?

TIA
Ted

I use OmniPage Pro to convert PDF to Word, but it misses some of the
formatting too. I don't think anything will do a perfect job of it.
Incidentally, if the file was not created from a document (like a
scanned PDF file), then you have to use OCR to convert it. Often, OCR
of a scanned document will do a decent job of retaining simple
formatting.

There is no tool that will do this cleanly. PDF formats are essentially
graphics files. The best you can manage will be good quality OCR software
such as Finereader. The whole point of PDF is that it isn't readily
editable.
