In fact, I have done this in the past, and requires relatively few steps to get it done. However, I believe there is a more direct way to " import and edit PDF's", keying on the word "import".
Of course, if people have difficulty reading a PDF document in Acrobat Reader, the "convenient OCR" could also be tried; but, that would not help much with the "edit" part.

Then open a new blank word doc and press control-v to paste contents of the clipboard into the word doc. Then save the word doc as you normally would. At this point you have the entire content of the PDF in Word along with all fonts, colors etc. When this method works. It really works well! Hope this helps.

Cc: Barbara Corner Subject: PDF forms What is the best way to read , then complete and then read completed forms in PDF? If I tab I can read the information as to what I need to put in the boxes but it skips other text. If I arrow down I can't always find where to put in the text in the edit fields. Thanks!
