Is there any way of converting .PDF files back into a editable format of say word, text or HTML

Thanks

you can save as .rtf with the full version of Actrobat, but you will lose any pictures and formatting, But you can edit the text with word.

there are probly other ways and means, I'm not that well up on acrobat and all its uses, I think it also depends on how the original document was created, as to what you can do with it.

Depends on the options selected when the document was saved, you may be able to edit it or have no access at all

I am also now looking to convert pdf files back to word documents.

Does anyone have any recommendations for any software that will do this?

In adobe, using file save as RTF is not an option, as it loses the formating, columns / tables that I still need.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Tried the paqtools link, converts to html fine, but when I use word to open the html, I get one large picture followed by a long list of text.

No good I'm afriad, not for my files anyway.

Cheers though mj, as u suggested worth a shot.
