Adobe pdf documents..copy/paste/format

[PretendHer]

I want to copy and paste pdf documents into Microsoft Word (or something I am familiar with) so that they are easier for me to work with/edit (as mentioned above.) I hate doing this with Adobe pdf files...i.e., changing colors to black & white, "tightening up" space so that I don't use so much paper and/or ink to print these documents, etc.

The biggest problem I have is that the right/left margins resemble columns when I paste them into word. Whereas, a typical word document usually has about a half inch on both the right and left of the page.

I could go line-by-line and delete "the returns, etc. at the end of each line of text. But that is so very time consuming and goes against the whole purpose of the idea.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

Hope I'm getting my idea across.

Thanks...

This method is very easy, but it requires software. Buy Adobe Acrobat 6.0. You can open any pdf document and then simply save it as a Word document. Works like a charm. Then you can edit it however you'd like in Word.

Acrobat can export pdfs into many formats, including html, rtf, eps, txt, jpg, and tiff.
