How can I convert a pdf to word using adobe acrobat (full version)?

[MuffD]

Trying to convert a pdf to word doc for work and our IT group doesn't know how to do it.

TIA

i don't think you can do it with acrobat, you'd probably have to get some third party tool for it. i don't think pdf was ever intended to be more than a one-way deal.

You can convert to text but you will lose all the formatting and images.

The closest I've been able to get (with 5.0) is to open the pdf, go to file > save as and in the drop down list below, save it as an RTF file.

You lose formatting, but get all the text.

Best answer I can give you as well.

I have to write a new Test outline and was hoping I can take this pdf file but I guess I could try saving as a text file and copy/paste from there or I could copy/paste directly within the document.

I went and tried it just to do it and it failed during the conversion process.

This is probably the closest ive seen to that:

I actually did the beta for this when I was doing the Office 2003 beta. It works most of the time, but sometimes it will kick a PDF back at you if the images are too intense, and warrent the need for something like OmniPage.
