Hi, I use Word 2003. I have a large pdf document which contains some tables
that I need to copy into Word. As this is probably a one-off, I have not
bought special converter software. I have tried using the select text tool
in the pdf file, but it won't let me copy. I have also tried using the
snapshot feature, but don't know how to use it - I can select what I want,
but don't know what to do after that, as there do not seem to be any options.
Is there a way I can just copy the tables across, keeping their current
format, or is it just not that simple? You can tell I don't know much about
pdf files!! Early response appreciated!
Thanks. Trish

If you have (or can borrow) the full version of Acrobat, open it in Acrobat
and use SaveAs to save it as Word.

I'm feeling generous today. Send the file to me - I have Acrobat Pro. Just
let me know what you need.

Dear JoAnn, that was very kind of you. However, as it was of a confidential
nature I could not send it out. I have now achieved what I was trying to
do. Thanks again for your kindness.

I completely understand. I deal with documentation that is protected by
HIPAA - one lapse and I'm unemployed.
