[Editors] PDF to Word?

[Tom Pixton]

Hi Jennie:

Acrobat 6.0 allows a Save as Text feature, which creates a plain text 
document that can then be opened in Word. However, none of the 
formats of the original pdf are preserved. This only works if the pdf 
was originally created from a text-based source file. For example, if 
text pages are scanned as graphics, and saved as a pdf, Acrobat 
cannot extract text, as what appears as text is really an image.
