PDF file

[Dilianne]

My question is if it is possible to copy a PDF file (to
open this you need Acrobat reader) into a word file.

If so, can you tell me as soon as possible how to do this.

Thanks in advance.

You would need the full Acrobat software and not just the reader.

http://www.scansoft.com/pdfconverter/ it's a whole lot cheaper than Acrobat, if
you just need to convert to Word.

Adobe Reader 6 has two options for this. Under the file menu is an option to
save as .txt, which can be opened by any text editor. Under edit is an
option to copy file to clipboard. You can then paste into Word. Neither of
these options preserves formatting, but if all you are concerned with is
getting text into an editable form, either of these should work for you.

Something that was not mentioned here is that if the original .pdf file is
saved with security settings enabled to prevent copying, you may not be able
to get anywhere with it!
