Could you not just copy and paste it if there's no quick convert?

Can you e-mail it to someone with
Adobe Professional?

Otherwise, why not see if you can download a free trial of Adobe Pro?

Failing that, your marketing people will probably have a full version of it.

someone in the firm must have done one before
but it's just not coming up on a doc search.

i am resorting to hand amendments and bribing my secretary i think.

and killing myself with stress.

i hate computers, i truly hate them.

Learn how to use them then.

You're doing the computing equivalent
of changing a light bulb.

Doing most things on computers is easy.
WHEN YOU KNOW HOW TO DO IT.

It's not hard to learn how to change a lightbulb.
The attitude that they're too difficult to learn how to use and that it's just easier to get somebody else to do it for you is a pretty lame one.

Then why bother with an IT department?

( girlinthehole, Mon 8 Nov 2010, 11:22, Reply)

We're here to make sure that the network runs properly,
to install and maintain equipment, not to teach people how convert one file type to another. I'm not in the Training department.

Sorry, nope
I can only do word to PDF
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 8 Nov 2010, 10:55, Reply)

the whole point is you can't really
select all then paste will get the text if that's all you need.
Otherwise there's places online that can convert it but I wouldn't upload any sensitive files via them.

and i don't really have time for my secretary to copy type it.

thanks anyway!

Edit: copy file to clipboard

You missed a CTRL+C in the middle.

So I did.

How are you this morning?

PDFs are, by nature, protected.
If you've got the full version of Adobe Acrobat, you can just save to Word. If you don't, you're not doing anything to it. I guess something like Textbridge might be able to help, but if you're at work and your company won't fork out for Acrobat, you're probably not getting anything that might be able to crack it, either.

Print the PDF, then scan it and save as a JPG and paste into Word
You wont be able to change the table, but you can type lawyer type stuff above and below.

using print screen or the image select in Adobe Reader would be an easier way of doing that

I thought there might be an easier way

I am starting to reminisce fondly about the waterproof trousers thread now.
