kristina Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Hi Can anyone explain (in very simple terms ) how to convert a pdf document into a word document. Not sure if it makes a difference but I have word 2010. Kris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melba Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Try www.pdftoword.com for easy way to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I think that's the solution Kris - one of the online converters. You can do it if you have Acrobat Professional but that costs quite a lot of money and is probably not worth it for your needs. Here's another one that will give you a free trial for an online converter without you needing to install any software. Alternatively you could PM me your word file and I'll convert it for you.

Guest Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Alternatively you could PM me your word file and I'll convert it for you. That might result in you getting deluged! Will it be another membership perk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 No guarantees as to responsiveness Holly, but I'm happy to do it when I've got time! :1b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristina Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 Thanks for the replies, will have a go at converting the document and if no joy I may take you up on your offer Steve!! Kris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Or you can copy and paste it into word. I've done that several times. Highlight a block of text, press Ctrl C, open a word screen and press Ctrl V. When you are doing your edit clean up, you will find it easier to have the PDF open on one side of the screen and your new document on the other, so you can see what went where.

kristina Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 Not having any luck as the documents I am trying to convert are security coded to prevent any changes!! Oh well looks like I need to start typing!! Kris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Can you select the text Kris? If so, try copying and pasting as Cait suggests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catma Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 i've got adobe x and when I open a pdf it has an option to convert to word under tools (top right hand corner) - if you make sure you have the most uptodate version of adobe you should have that. cx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 So it does. You always used to need Acrobat Professional to do that. Thanks Catma! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
