So you are saying to copy and paste it in to word, rather than just using word to open the file?

I believe it will convert more normally if you use Word to convert the file.

Thanks, Bill.

Is there any difference in copying and pasting from a pdf, and activating the context menu on a pdf and selecting Open with…, then use Word to open the document, or does it convert the same.

 

Thanks,

Dennis T. Brown

If "Read entire document is set, it will save the entire document.

Will that save the entire document, or just the current page?

 

Thanks,

Here's how I do it:

 

1.  open the pdf doc.

 

2.  then use control A to copy entire document.

 

3.  Use the copy command (ctrl C) to copy to clipboard.

 

 

4.  Open MS Word andcopy the doc. to your new document

5.  Save doc. with new name

 

6.  Breath sigh of relief because task is fini!!!!

Hi,

 

Could someone please recall me how to save a PDF as a Word document? I remember one had to select and paste text into a blank Word document, but I don’t remember the keystroke to save it as such.

 

Cheers,

Gezim

Hi,
As Kestrell and others have pointed out, you can run into various problems with PDF's. For best results generally, use Adobe Acrobat Reader rather than one of the browser PDF readers. And you can read about the vvarious issues encountered and how to deal with them in Chapter 10 of my book.
Regards,
David
