353158 2005-05-07 22:55:00 acrobat 7 you can save as html, not sure about just the reader though? plod (107)
353159 2005-05-07 23:11:00 The whole purpose of creating a pdf is to prevent unauthoried modification or use of the document's contents. The author will have established the level of viewers' use that is considered necessary. :cool: Scouse (83)
353160 2005-05-07 23:29:00 The fact that he can extract the text shows that the author has not protected the document in this case.

The simplest method is to use the free Acrobat Reader 7 and select the image copy tool, and select and capture the entire document as an image (paste it into an image editor and save as .jpg).
There are many pdf converters that will convert into a Word document complete with all formatting but they will usually cost a few $. That does depend on the protection levels of course, within the pdf, as before.

I use SolidPDF for converting non-protected documents, to save re-typing and formatting. You need to be very cautious about copyright and the use of the text though.
