Hi Graham,

please ?

Many thanks for any help or indication

There a number of programs that will do this, but there are some workarounds if you have a scanner and an OCR program. Also, if you have the full version of Acrobat 6 or Omnipage Pro 14, both have the ability to convert into a Word doc in some way and there are some specific PDF converter programs available. However, if you want to do this quickly and it's a one time thing you can accomplish it by printing out the document from the pdf. Scan and run the OCR program. Save to word. Most OCR programs have a wizard of some kind to walk you through this. It probably will not be a perfect copy of the pdf, but you will be able to work with it.

No scanner, then get a PDF converter program. It's definitely cheaper than a scanner. Worst case. I've gone to Kinko's and asked them to scan and convert when my system was down. But, IMHO, buying the program would be cheaper. Hope this helps.

You should reply to the original thread to keep the messages together. I
explained in that earlier post that you need Acrobat or one of the other
suggested methods to convert the PDF to Word. There is no add-in for Word to
do this.
