Title: PDF To Word
Post by: Nomoreheroes on Thursday, October 29, 2015, 15:57:28
Can anyone help me convert a 15 page pdf into a docx file please?

I've got Acrobat DC Reader and created an Adobe account, but then it wants to charge a monthly fee - Not doing that!

Tried that. Did 2 of 15 pages as an image on a Word doc. It wanted me to buy the full version for the other pages. Found another which did all 15 pages, but as an image on the file.

Google Drive will probably convert it into a Google doc which you can then download as a .docx without installing anything.

Photocopier and fax? Not as hip as modern stuff but a damn site easier.

I use it all the time to convert one file or another and it works great. Not tried it for your specific translation before but it's worth a go

I've always been skeptical of those online converter tools. Once it's uploaded, you don't know who might have a copy. If the contents of your document aren't personal then I suppose it's not a worry.

That's why I was hoping that someone would have a different solution - Perhaps an add on to Adobe DC Reader. However, many of the cracked versions of software out there are made to have back doors that can be exploited by the nasty crackers at a time of their choosing.

If the text in your PDF can be selected, then a simple copy and paste will do the job. You'll have to play around with the formatting though.
