I am in need of a PDF to Word Converter, preferably a freeware or Shareware?
Anyone know of a program?
I use Adobe Acrobat Standard. It's been worth the money. I'm not sure if OpenOffice (http://www.openoffice.org/) does what you're looking for. I think it does, but I'm not positive.
If you have something you'd like converted, I might be able to covert it for you.
I am not sure about converting PDF to Word, since it would also have to create images and such...

I did it when I posted. Worked fine.
Look like NitroPDF, which my company uses, does it. I never found any decent freeware/free and open source software for PDF manipulation beyond PDF creation.

I've found ways of doing it. It requires saving it as different file types though. it took about 3 or 4 saves though.
PDF Creator -- Free, friendly, and has multiple formats: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=57796&package_id=53473&release_id=442172
Plus, it's searchable, i.e. you can search for words in your PDF documents created with it.

Adobe Acrobat Pro V8.0 is one of the offerings availalbe to CAP for $45 thru TechSoup.org.
Although I have not worked with it, Word 2007 is supposed to have a PDF creater/ conversion utility. Part of Office 2007 Pro availalbe for $20- but the ordering requirements for Microsoft are more restrictive than Adobe. Also requires sufficient RAM on your home computer
I have been very successful with a program called DocSmartz. It costs around $30 but I have only found two documents that it won't convert. Yesterday I converted a pdf file with multiple columns into a Word document, saved it as a .txt file, and converted it to a .dbf file. The whole thing took about 5 minutes.
I'm not aware of any "freeware" programs that work this well. Good luck.
There is a GREAT program, Cutepdf, that works from Word to a pdf file that is free. The website is www.cutepdf.com. I've been using it for a couple of years now. The files can be read by adobe.

Here Kitty Kitty Kitty......
Alas in the end I may have to go buy one of those products. All of the freeware/shareware/trial programs I tried could not get past 3 pages or the graphics. Thanks anyways though!!
