Default open PDF then convert to WORD

Really? What are they? Very few applications (not produced by Adobe) I
have come across have this available. The only one I have that will do so
is SnagIt 8. Though of course once you have Acrobat or a third party
driver such as that installed by SnagIt, you can produce PDF files from
any application you can print from.

Reading Acrobat files to successfully produce Word editable files is the
prerogative of very few OCR applications and OCR like conversion tools.

No. What's more, it is being taken out of Office 2007 and will be a
separate
add-in that registered users may download. (this is some stupid
quibble by Adobe).


Yes, incredible that almost every program I have has an option to
save/export to PDF.

Yet Adobe seem to take exception to MS doing this (albeit so late in
the game when other software has had this option for years!)

Must be due to historical bad blood between MS & Adobe?

Or could it be something to do with MS wanting to develope/promote
their own format to compete with/usurp PDF??

Hmmm.

Well actually on second thoughts perhaps youre right... I use Corel Draw and
Corel Photo Paint rather a lot and both have a built in save or export to
PDF. I also have a 3rd party PDF Creator which I can print to and get PDF's
from all my other apps. So in hindsight I really only have two apps which
save to PDF. However the 3 latter paragraphs in my previous post are IMHO
relevant.
