open PDF then convert to WORD
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 ...

However the 3 latter paragraphs in my previous post are IMHO relevant. 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 |
