Wanted: DOC to PDF Converter - among other things..:)

[Thore Sorensen]

Wanted: word.doc to *.PDF Converter.
I've used PDF995 for a couple of years. Sometimes I have some problems
with fonts...is there anything else out there?

....and now while I have your attention::

Is there something that can read *.pdf's other than Adobe Reader 6?
....it's rather big and slow....

And the last for now... anything that can open a *.pdf in e.g. MS-Word
to edit it and save in *.doc (or *.pdf).?

4

for reader6 i find great ar-speedup

a few pdf's might need the plugins though, so you can always deactivate the
speedup. take a look at the readme.
ciao, j.

There is IMHO nothing better for this than PDF Creator

There are a couple of other readers out there, but I still find the best
is Acrobat Reader 5.05.

PDF creation was really intended to be a one way process, much the same
way a paper document is. It's not really intended to be editable, you
can mark it up but not really edit it. With this having been said, there
are some $ware items that will convert PDF to HTML and PDF to DOC, but
some formatting issues are almost always present. I've not seen a
perfect representation of a PDF containing tables and graphics to any
other format, it's just really difficult to do. The object of the reader
is to represent fonts and graphics as a mix of vector and raster
graphics, not as an editable document.

I've edited PDF's with Acrobat 4 and 6 pro, and it's not always perfect.

Jaws PDF creator. Neat!
Sets itself up as a virtual printer just like Acrobat full version.

Mine was free bundled with a software mag.
