Hi,
Does anyone know how I can use tools available in Linux to convert a PDF file
to MS Word .doc or .docx format (or even to LibreOffice .odt)?
I thought I could do it using LibreOffice, but it reads the PDF content as if
it
is a series of graphical objects with text labels. As a consequence, I can
only save it as .odg or export it to a graphical format.
The problem is that we have a number of specifications in PDF format. We need
to get them into an editable form (preferably word) because they need
translating.
At work I tried the real thing (Adobe Writer), but it seriously mangles the
format, even when it works.
The originals seem to have been created using a number of different tools; some
were created in MS Word 2010, some PDFCreator (presumably from a Word Source,
some with Acrobat Distiller and some by conversion from Postscript. Adobe
Writer was only able to save three out of five documents and they were not very
good.
