Does anyone know of a good, completely free way to convert large PDF documents into MS Word (or even text) format? All of the free trials I have tried (and I've tried a ton of them) all have limitations (ie: they only convert the first 3-5 pages of the document, insert large black bars, etc..). Any help would be appreciated.
PDF is the “portable” way of sharing Word Documents; without the full version of Adobe Acrobat, you may not be able to get all the formatting back from a document in PDF that was originally a Word document. Alas, many PDF documents today are “protected” and can’t return from non-editable form. http://www.tomdownload.com/business_finance/word_processing/pdf_to_word.htm http://www.solidpdf.com/it/download.htm http://www.docsmartz.com/asp/pdf_word.asp As with any other software, please contact your Technical Support department before installing, save all your documents and back them up before making any changes to your computer. I hope this helps.
i havent found a way to convert PDF to Word and I've been searching forever. I have all the adobe programs in full and at best, it comes out looking very weird in Word.
If I wanted a link to Google, I would have asked for it. I wouldn't have posted here without doing a thorough search. There just doesn't seem to be a complete, free converter program out there. Are these trial programs limited in any way? If so, they are not what I'm looking for. I have enough useless free trials.
What is Google? I only use altavista and netscape search. Am I missing out on something? I still use Compuserve as my primary ISP and Prodigy as my backup ISP.
Wait a minute... you don't want to pay for a program? This is a clever idea... NOT paying for programs... hmmm... we could be ON TO something... "I think if you abthtain from drinking 10 caffé lattéth (or whatever the freak you ThtarFreakth people drink), you can afford one of thethe "trial programth". God forbid you pay for them. Oh, and let uth know when you find thith 'FREE' programth, NANTHY Drew!!!! Oh, and by the way.... uh-YOU're WELCOME!!!"
There are many ways to do it, but they will almost always sample it on you. You could try copier scan software and see if you can get those to work. I think one that ocr's and has a free trial is e-copy. Doubt it will work tho. I bought a nifty program the the other day that takes a mega page PDF and turns it into an HTML book in seconds. Very nice. But had to pay for it.
No prob. That irks me too, which is probably why I was offended that you lumped me in with those people. You aren't funny and haven't been for a long while. If you don't have any helpful suggestions, then stay out of my thread. Your shtick is getting rather lame.
Geez, talk about not getting your Café Latte. Lighten up, soul mate (I think?) You've been following me? How sweet! Stay OUT? Impossible. Impossible. You said it yourself: I'll help you out: Click "SwoLy-D" there on the left. Click "View SwoLy-D's public profile". Click "Add SwoLy-D to your ignore list". Done. No need to answer me or read my posts. EVER. Man, I gotta stop trying to help.
