Excuse me for posting a question this way but I don't know how to post a new question 
from the correct starting point. Please enlighten me.  My question:I want to create a 
sales manual in PDF from several word documents that have page numbers. Can I renumber 
them in PDF after converting them? Thanks.

How about simply copying and pasting the text to a new Word doc? It may not
be a perfect solution, but it certainly would be easier than retyping or
reformatting the PDF text.

I hope (and think) that I'm sending this email as plain text because I know
in the past I sent one as HTML and got notice. I'm still a newbie with
Outlook so bear with me.

QUESTION:
 Does anyone else have this problem?  I work in a company that gets RFPs
((Requests for Proposals) from companies soliciting business.
Our job is to create a proposal to enter into bidding. These RFPs often have
upwards of 100+ questions that need our response.
It used to be 10 out of 10 RFPs came to us as Word docs which is fine. We
simply plug in our answers.
Now, nearly 4 our of 10 RFPs come to us as PDFs.  

Problem--we can't just plug in our answers as we could do when it came as a
Word doc.  Currently we covert it to a Word doc, but as you probably know
you end with a huge blob of unformatted text that now requires hours of
re-formatting.
Usually we can ask the company to send it back as a Word doc.  However, some
companies say they only have it as a PDF which seems odd since you figure
the original document must have been created in Word.

Is this a case where companies aren't aware that a PDF isn't as practical as
sending it in workable format?

And, question #2, is there any way to make a PDF into a Word doc and
preserve the original look/format. I think I know the answer--the original
document may have been done in Quark, PageMaker, etc so there would be no
way to reverse back to this original format.

Thanks in advance..
Ed
