Hi Rebecca- From PDFzone (http://www.pdfzone.com/article2/0,1759,1815272,00.asp): Using Third-Party Conversion Tools By Anita Dennis May 12, 2005 There are many third-party tools that convert PDF documents into other formats, including Word and Excel. If you're unsatisfied with the quality of the results you achieve with Acrobat's Save As command, you can give them a try. The more graphically rich the document, the more complex the layout, the more these tools might be useful. They purport to be better at preserving layouts, including elements such as bulleted lists, headers and footers, and kanji text flow. Third-party tools include ScanSoft's PDF Converter Professional3 (Windows), BCL Technologies' Drake 7.1 (Windows) and RecoSoft's PDF2Office 2.1 Professional Edition (Mac OS X).
