Hi Charlene, I have used Solid PDF Tools converter for converting PDF to MS Word. This has yielded excellent results in terms of retaining the formatting, table and figure conversion, as well as editability. However, i am not sure for large docs extending up to 2000 pages, as is your case. HTH..

PDF XChange Viewer is a really easy-to-use (free) tool for commenting on PDFs. It's something that you do not have to teach the reviewers. It's self explanatory. And you do not have to "allow" users to comment on the PDF in order to use this tool. -- Regards, Shmuel Wolfson Technical Writer 05

As you noted, the built-in support in Adobe Acrobat has, to write the PDF in Word format, is pretty darn limited for any serious documents. I have used PDF Convertor Professional (from www.nuance.com) to read PDF files into Word with much better results. However, the results STILL require a LOT of

Why does he want it in Word? Rather than converting to Word, which will be time-consuming and result in a document that has problems, find out what his goal is. For example, an Engineer recently said that he wanted a document in Word. When I asked him why, he said it was because he wanted to edit i

Because you posted your enquiry on a Frame forum rather than an Acrobat one, I'm going to assume that the file is in Frame. If so, use MIF2Go from Omsys.com to export it to .RTF. You may want to mention to your client that this is closely related to shooting themselves in the foot... Art Art Ca
