atw: Re: Converting PDF to Word

There's also a free online converter at www.zamzar.com - I had reasonable
results on a fairly complex document.

 Yeah but the result is often a NIGHTMARE!
I have had 40 to 100 pages of images saved as a Word document. All the
converter did was turn pages into jpg's.
I don't know whether the Adobe engineers did it to take the piss or there
was some weird wierdness in the original Word .doc or not.
Other times when it did work, I got all sorts of total too weird-y styles
in it.

Either way, it always made me swear. Lucky I'm not a Methodist...

Acrobat 6 saves as Word. Whatever you use, you'll probably need to tidy up
the result.

 Does anyone know of a shareware product that can convert PDF documents
back to Word effectively.  The company I am working for has "lost" their
Word files, and has to convert all their books back to Word in order to
update them - so no copyright issues - they or their writers own the
copyright.
