Hi, is there a way to covert PDF to Word keeping all the columns showing in the PDF format? I've tried copy all and paste but it left out a lot of info. I also tried copy to clipboard then paste but that didn't work either. Is there a specific software I must buy to do this converating? Would adobe acrobat professional 7.0 do the trick?

Hmm, not sure about the specific software, but I know that PDF's can be locked down heavily, so that no copying and pasting can occur, no printing etc... it is also completely different file type to Word.

You could try copying into Wordpad or another rich text format application, and then pasting into Word... Word has lots of complex formatting in the background that make up the page on the normal.dot (word blank template), so it may be getting confused with the formatting of the Adobe file... using a 'go between' app like Wordpad, can help remove the complicated formatting from certain apps... we use it to remove table formatting from Word into WPS... a web publishing system.. it works both ways

Have you tried using the Snapshot tool? There's also the Export All Images option, and you could always look in Help under Saving and Converting Adobe pdf Content.

Life is more painless for those who are brainless.

I just did an ASK.com search and there are some free programs out there that will do that. I use Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro so I dont know if these are free, shareware or what
