As you noted, the built-in support in Adobe Acrobat has, to write the PDF in Word format, is pretty darn limited for any serious documents.
I have used PDF Convertor Professional (from www.nuance.com) to read PDF files into Word with much better results. However, the results STILL require a LOT of editing to get it to look close to the original. You are better off (wasting the time perhaps) convincing the client that they are making a serious mistake. However, if they are willing to pay you for all this fixup work, then it is their decision, I suppose.

My client decided Friday that he now wants the entire document in word. Is there anyway I could convert it to word, that will not be time consuming, or does anyone know any software that will convert a pdf to word and retain all formatting, graphics, etc. I tried saving the pdf as a word document, but a lot of the formatting was off. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Charlene _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as Syed.Hosain at aeris.net.
