Re: [PDF-Basics] Editing text in PDF

[Rachel Burnsed]

In Acrobat 6, the PDF-to-Word conversion works best if the document uses a fairly simple format, and was created as a "tagged" PDF using Acrobat 5 or 6.  So, Word-to-PDF-to-Word, all with Acrobat 6, will work well.  However, if you have an untagged PDF, Acrobat 6 runs the "Accessibility" plug-in to insert tags, with varying degrees of success depending on the document's formatting.  With more complicated documents (multiple columns or other complex layout), there's less chance of getting output that actually looks like the original file.
