Adobe Acrobat does not do any text recognition. Therefore what you see
in Adobe Acrobat as the scanned resume is in reality a picture. You can
select the picture (there is a picture selection tool on the toolbar)
and copy & paste that into Word, but it is still going to be a picture.
Hence you won't be able to edit it.
If your scanner comes with OCR software (text recognition software),
then you should use that to scan the document and get the text into
Word. You should be able to see in your HP Scanner Software whether it
comes with an OCR package or not.
I have seen computer magazines bundling an older version of OmniPage
(OCR software). You might be able to find a free download of an older
OmniPage version off of the website of some major computer magazine.
I don't know if there is any freeware OCR software, but I do know that
you can get a GPL-licensed OCR software development package (to use it,
you definitely need to be a programmer though).
Quite honestly though, if your scanner doesn't come with OCR software,
you are probably going to get your resume faster into Word by just
typing it up.
