Hi. As an alternative, I suggest that you use a PDF to Word converter.
Many times I wait for a document to open with Adobe Reader, and when
it finishes loading it crashes and says "adobe reader has stopped
working".
An accessible converter is "Very PDF to word converter". Website:
www.verypdf.com. You convert once and use MSWord then.
Hope this was useful info.
