open PDF then convert to WORD
Folks:
Just taking a look at Word 2007. Here is the question concerning PDF format. * Can Word 2007 be used to open a PDF then convert that PDF to a Word file ? Thanks, Jo. |

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). -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ JoJo wrote in message ... : Folks: : : : Just taking a look at Word 2007.

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. Ian |

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. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Ian R wrote: "TF" terryfarrell%40%6d%73%6e%2ecom wrote in message ...

WordPerfect does it, I believe, as well as MacOS.

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. Ian I^) |

Ian I^) I suspect that it has more to do with Adobe not wanting the major Word processing player in the corporate arena making one of their key software products largely redundant. Many corporates would not use cheap third party tools to create PDFs, preferring to use industry standards. However, I suspect it will be a while before the corporate buyers take up Office 2007, because their training overhead will be huge. I have not heard of Microsoft wanting to replace the PDF format with one of its own - but you never know - however if Microsoft were to do that, we might get rid of Adobe's dreadful programming of Word add-ins for their product. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org |

I did read somewhere that there was very bad feeling between Microsoft and
Adobe some time ago and that MS actively set out to impede Adobe's PDF, but that/I may be wrong. "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...
