RE: [LegacyUG] How do I Convert Reports To Word For Editing
Mike is correct. Your best bet is to allow Legacy to produce a RTF which Word can directly open. If you need to bring a PDF file into Word, it takes a little trick. Word will not directly open a PDF file (assuming that you haven't installed some sort of 3rd party add-in). To accomplish getting the PDF into Word, open a Word document and place the cursor wherever you want the PDF to begin; if it’s a blank, new document then just leave the cursor at the beginning. Now the trick: select INSERT and then choose OBJECT (in the TEXT Group menu in Word 2010), then select Adobe Acrobat Document. But once you've finished editing the complete document in Word, there is no SAVE AS a PDF file (unless you've installed some sort of 3d part add-in). If you want to convert back to PDF, then you need either Adobe Acrobat or some other 3rd party PDF creator application.
