PDF to MSWord?
« on: May 08, 2003, 11:31:00 PM »
Does anyone know an easy way to convert a PDF document to an MSWord document? I have a 150-page PDF with multiple tables, and I need to convert it to Word... help!

(Aside from copying and pasting and re-formatting the text... is there a program out there that does the conversion for you?)
