I saved a pdf as a Word document and it was just fine besides a few
characters that did not translate well.

But now, everytime I open the Word doc, it says converting from rtf format.

How can I get it saved so it is just a .doc and doesn't need to go through
the conversion process.

Was there any easier way to get them .pdf file to Word so I didn't need to
clean it at all? I have Adobe Acrobat Professional.

Thank you!
