Is There An Easier Way?

10 replies
Okay I am sure I am missing something simple or a software to do it or something. Can anyone tell me of a program or a way to convert a PDF to a text or doc file, keeping images in it? I've googled it and come back with no luck.

Thanks in advance,
Sylvia

    Hi Sylvia,

    I did some research on this a while back testing a few different online
    pdf converter sites.

    The best one(most accurate to convert)was a site called:
    freepdfconvert.com. Although the free version limits the number of pages
    it will convert for you to 3 if I remember correctly.

    The membership($9.00/month)allows you unlimited pdf conversions for
    the month of your membership. It is a recurring membership so you will
    need to cancel it when you through to avoid extra monthly charges.

    Here is the link to the Membership plans available: (Not an affiliate link)

    Hope that Helps,
    Have a Great Day!

    How do you go from PDF to Doc with OO? I already own it and it's what I use regularly, but so far as I know it can't go from PDF to Doc.

    Hi Sylvia,

    I used Hello PDF a long time ago.

    It might still do the trick!

    Free PDF to Word Doc Converter - easy and powerful pdf converter software.

    Best wishes,

    If you have open office that's great. You can go to youtube and there are step-by step videos showing you how to do it. Just use keywords open office pdf converter.

    Okay I think some have misunderstood, I want to take it from PDF form to DOC form. I know the export to PDF option in OO, I need something that does the reverse.
