Hi Tracy, I have this problem frequently (right now in fact), and have yet to find the perfect solution. There is a free service at http://www.ebcsimon.com/simon-client/default/services.jsp that will convert to a nice-looking Word doc. The only problem is that every line is an individual text box. My advice is to give it go anway. Only takes a few minutes and there's nothing to install. If that doesn't suit, I use SolidConverter from www.solidpdf.com which gives you choices about how you want the information converted - depending on whether you want to preserve some formatting or just want the text. It's reasonably inexpensive. Barry Dale Caloundra Tracy Jenner-Lawson wrote: > Hi > I was wondering if anyone has any advice/feedback regarding programs such as > http://www.primopdf.com/.
