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.

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? _______________________________________________________________________________ Message: 2 Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2007 09:34:45 -0500 From: Doug <[email protected]> Subject: Convert PDF to DOC or FM To: undisclosed-recipients:; Message-ID: <5b7f194e0710160734q16727449v203422ee07055dd3 at mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 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 __________________________________________________________________ Caroline Tabach Technical/Marcom Writer Fax: +972 3 6474681 Email: caroline at radcom.com www.radcom.com www.protocols.com _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as Micheal.OLaoghaire at comverse.com.
