How do I convert a PDF to Word or Excel
Easy. In Adobe Acrobat (the real program, not the free reader) just open
your pdf file and save it as a Word document. It is not perfect but it works. Don't have Adobe Acrobat? you have to use some sort of PDF Converter (I use one with that exact name and it does a fine job, but it is not free. Somebody may know of some free ware.

How do I convert a PDF to Word or Excel
Not so easy! Acrobat will only convert to an editable document if the PDF
was created from an editable document. There are third party converters that will deal with this eg PDF2TXT, or you could use OCR software such as Finereader, which makes a better stab at formatting - especially if tables are involved. The bottom line is that the whole point of PDF is that it is not intended to be edited and getting editable text from it, is not always straightforward. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Joe McGuire wrote: Easy.
