How do I open a PDF in word 2007

[Guest]

Hi
I would like to open a PDF in Word 2007, with formating and tables kept
intact. Does Microsoft support this? A (free) third party tool? Thanks

You open a .pdf with Adobe's Reader (or other software). If you need to edit
that file, it's better/easier to ask the file's originator. Please note I
didn't even mention the possible copyright violation.

I would like to copy some text and tables from a US Government document that
is not copyrighted and in only available in a PDF format. I would then like
to move some of the columns in the tables. Thanks

If you don't have the free Adobe Reader -- which would make you one of maybe
three people in the world who don't -- get it from
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html.

Open the PDF in the reader. Click the Select tool on the toolbar, and select
and copy the material you want. Paste it into Word, and you should be able
to edit it as you like.

Although some PDF files don't allow copying this way, most will. I wouldn't
think a Government publication would be protected.

If you do have trouble copying and pasting, and if you have a relatively
modern OCR/scanner program, you can see whether that program will "read" the
PDF file and produce editable text.

Fine. You go and edit it and use it for your own use. I'll refrain from
pushing my luck.
