[access-uk] Re: PDF and Printing

Graham.  Although I do not know the exact answer to your question 
on converting PDFs to MS Word, I can tell you a very odd thing on 
this.

If you select a PDF page and then switch to Word, (Word 2K in my 
case), the text appears in Word, and is readible by a screen 
reader.  Formating appears to be retained too.  (This will not 
work with all PDF files, because protection is often in place to 
stop you doing things like this.)

I find that using 'paste special' in the edit menue gives me the 
option of having a PDF page inserted in Word as an object.  Seems 
images do not usually make the journey in the ordinary paste 
operation.

I know there are plenty of converters around for converting to 
PDF, but I have not heard of anyone wanting to do it the opsite 
way around.

HTH.
