Yeah - Export doesn't work. Save As doesn't work. But - you can Save as a graphic image such as TIF ot BMP. Then run that in a OCR program and save as a DOC. By the same token, print the PDF file, then scan with something like OmniPage Pro and save the product as a .DOC.

Not with a really good OCR program like Omnipage 12.

The full version of Acrobat has a text tool to allow you to select text in any PDF. You could copy/paste into Word.

Yeah but that loses all the formatting.
I found a couple places that do text to DOC from PDF, but they all suck.

Was hoping for something better....
