Default pdf to Word

The issue is not so much the application for converting PDF to Word, but the
application from which the PDF was created in the first place. Some document
formats just don't convert very well to Word.

If you convert a Word document to PDF than back, you generally get something
pretty close to the original; but if the original was created by something
that uses a very different object model (like PageMaker, Publisher, Corel,
etc), then the resulting Word document will likely be a pig's breakfast,
whatever you use for the conversion.

Hi

I've been trying several .pdf to Word converters,
none seem good enough for recuperating original
formats especially when reuperating tables and figures

Does anyone have any good idea about which pdf to Word
converter is the most effective for preserving formats (any including
scientific tables and graphs?!)

Many many many -

Thanks

Nash
