I can't tell you how well this works because I use a "paid for" software
program to convert from .pdf to .doc. It does a decent job on a Word .doc.
Can't say the same for other programs tho.

And What Is It?

yes.

See http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=free+PDF+software for programs to
create PDFs from Word. If there is free software to convert from PDF to
Word, I am unaware of it.

The closest thing I've ever seen is: "How to convert Adobe Acrobat Reader

I have software I bought that will do that but I've found that any time you
are "converting" a file from one program to another, you can count on doing
some editing, correcting, or tweaking.

Try pdf995, you can do a lot with the free stuff they offer.

For some reason, when using Acrobat 8 Pro to convert a PDF to a Word.doc, it
generates most of the text in hundreds, or thousands, of separate frames.
There appears to be no setting in Acrobat to prevent this; the only
alternative is to convert to plain text. Seems like PDF to Word used to go a
lot smoother in earlier versions of Acrobat, or am I just hallucinating?

I haven't tried that. Which version of Word? (I already have Acrobat Pro v8)

JoAnn -

It works the same in both 2003 and 2007.

I wrote a macro which loops through and removes the frames most of the
time...

Sub RemoveFrame()
Dim MyBox as Shape
For Each MyBox in ActiveDocument.Shapes
With MyBox
.Select
.Line.Visible = msoFalse
.ConvertToFrame
End With
Next MyBox
Dim MyFrame as Frame
For Each MyFrame in ActivceDocument.Frames
MyFrame.Select
MyFrame.Delete
Next MyFrame
End Sub
