.pdf to .doc conversion program

[MAMalody]

I am looking for a program that will convert a .pdf document (the ATX Tax Organizer) to a Word document or even an Excel document. Does anybody know a program that will do that? My SolidConverter program used to work for this but gave up the ghost a couple of years ago. The last two years I have had a blank Excel document made up. I would prefer to convert the ATX organizer so that the prior year data would be there and I would only have to use the organizer pages necessary instead of constructing a 26 page document. I hope someone knows of a program that will do this, so.....

You can use Adobe® Acrobat® XI to quickly Convert PDF to Any Doc.

Or there is http://www.wondershare.net/ad/pdf-editor/converter.html?gclid=CP6-sbSA1roCFaQ9QgodNUIAlg

Or https://www.pdftoword.com/ is free.

So is http://download.cnet.com/Free-PDF-to-Word/3000-10743_4-75732609.html

I think with the full Adobe you can remove pages. My husband loves cutepdf.

KC, thanks for the info. I have run across the ones that you have mentioned. I do ont have the Adobe XI, mine is 8. The other programs have trouble handling the boxes. You can fill them in and they are do some rearranging of the text. I may spring for the Adobe, but want to see what is out there first.

Lion, I have CutePdf but it does not make from .pdf

When you convert from PDF to DOCX (Word) some characters or graphics gets dropped or mashed into other characters. So do a side by side comparison before using it.

I go from Word Doc to PDF 99% of the time!

I have had good luck in purchasing new, unregistered software on ebay. You can get good deals on prior-version software. Don't know where Adobe is at the moment but I bought Acrobat 10 shortly after 11 came out, brand new, registerable, for ~ 1/3 the price it had been.

Acrobat is affordable. Don't buy a "suite" of Adobe products, just Acrobat. No reason to not have the program that started .pdf.

If a scanner purchase is in your future, Acrobat is bundled with Fujitsu and probably other brands. 10 and 11 are very similar (per a course I took last week) and, as Catherine says, 10 is available much cheaper now that 11 is out.

I bought a pdf converter 3 weeks ago to covert some scanned docs to word, it works just great.

The multilanguage OCR feature is the reason that I decide to buy this.

Interesting. I could not tell if this allows you to actually conver the .pdf Tax Organizer to a fillable doc that can be e-mail, filled out by somebody else with the .pdf reader and then saved and returned. Have you done this?

Thanks for all the responses. I have a couple of leads through this to see if I can get this need met. Again, thank you for all the good input.

Adobe Acrobat can.

I have (an organizer from last year (not an ATX doc) - done last year)---- BUT --- it does take some work as you need to make the document a "fillable" doc. It may be possible to automate this but I did it on the fly and at the time didn't have any free time to learn, so I did it myself.

Maybe I'll wake up and actually learn it, but that's all I have (info wise) right now.

I sent you a PM.
