[CODE4LIB] PDF to Word converter?
I have WordPerfect X4, which does a questionable job of (natively) converting pdf's, and from which one could then copy and paste the questionable results into a Word document. Has anyone been down this road before (trying to find something better than what WordPerfect does, and that works directly with Word)? Or maybe someone can offer words of advice (or condolences...)?

I know you're looking for PDF to Word, but just as an fyi, I recently used Office Convert to convert PDF to JPG and it worked very well: http://download.cnet.com/Office-Convert-PDF-to-JPG-JPEG-TIFF-Free/3000-10743_4-10900900.html -Cheryl On Fri, Apr 1, 2011 at 12:53 PM, Carol Bean beanwo...@gmail.com wrote: I have WordPerfect X4, which does a questionable job of (natively) converting pdf's, and from which one could then copy and paste the questionable results into a Word document.

Re: [CODE4LIB] PDF to Word converter?
This may only be available in Acrobat and not Reader, but I can choose File -- Save As and choose to save the PDF as a Word .doc file. Results are usually okay, but the formating is done with text boxes instead of the normal way. Off topic: How's your Digital Asset Management software comparison going? I always check your blog periodically for an update!

Re: [CODE4LIB] PDF to Word converter?
Yeah - I just found out about the Save As trick from another list. In Acrobat 9, which is what I'm using, it doesn't render much better than Word Perfect (both have formatting issues, but they're different). But I also just learned from another post that Acrobat X does the job beautifully. Re: Digital Asset Management, Yeah, I have a lot of ground to (re)cover and post on, especially before I lose my audience of one! ;-) At least it's back on the (current) project list. :-) Thanks, Carol On Fri, Apr 1, 2011 at 2:06 PM, Nathan Tallman ntall...@gmail.com wrote: This may only be available in Acrobat and not Reader, but I can choose File -- Save As and choose to save the PDF as a Word .doc file.
