Default Re: Best Low Cost PDF to Word Converter?
If you have CS3 then you should also have Acrobat, which - according to these instructions - should allow you to easily convert PDF to word (depending on the complexity of the PDF...) I've never actually had to do that (we also have CS3 but don't use Acrobat much) so can't vouch, but if you already have the software it's worth a try. (Let me know if it works for you?) There must be instructions for how to do this directly on Adobe's site or help forum as well...

Assuming the PDF is not protected at all you should also be able to use the following (for simple, basic unformatted text copy/paste into Word)
  1. Open the PDF document to the text you want to copy to Word.
  2. Click the Text tool on the toolbar.
  3. Highlight to select the text you want to copy, or (to select ALL text) click once in the text area and press Ctrl+A (select all).
  4. Press Ctrl+C (copy) to copy the selected text to the Clipboard.
  5. Switch to your Word document.
  6. Press Ctrl+V (paste) to paste the text into Word.
Does anyone else currently use a program for converting PDF to Word??
