RE: PDF to doc conversion (WIndows)

[Uma_Nakkeeran <Uma_Nakkeeran -at- satyam -dot- com>]

Hi Sylvia,

There is - if you use Drake - acrobat pluggin....
Conversion of PDF to RTF (RTF formats can be opened in Word) is possible!.

You can either buy the utility to fully avail all the features or download a
demo version From http://www.bclcomputers.com/products/drake/drake.htm

Let me share my experience in using the Demo version of Drake Acrobat
pluggin.

I wanted to convert a PDF file(source file: PPT) to RTF format and these are
the problems i faced after conversion. (The problems could be due to the
appl'n being a demo version AND the source file being a PPT file)

After conversion.......
*	The contents are accurate in the text slides...
*	But in some of the image slides, which has contents within the boxes
are not displayed.
*	If there is an inserted object (as bmp/jpg, etc for ex., logo), it
is displayed as a Mirror image!!!!!!.....(probably, we need to show a mirror
in front of the computer i guess ;-))
The demo version converts only alternate pages. 
Say, if i give 1-20 for convert as RTF...it converts only 1, 3, 5, 7,
....19) with this message...................

This page is not extracted in the demo version.
BCL

in those pages, which were not converted!!!!!!

Solution : convert 1-20 first and then convert 2-20 again to get 2,4,6,8,
....20

If you have the full verison, probably, the conversion will be more easier i
guess :-)
