Convert PDF to Word document?

I have some confidential documents in PDF which can contain text, tables, images, etc, and I need to convert them back to a Microsoft Word document. Is there any software that is able to do this? If not, what would be the next best way to go about doing this?

I'd say exact duplicate. – fretje – 2010-02-09T08:49:46.317

Ask the original PDF creator to send you the original Word docs – None – 2010-02-09T05:01:57.343

You can do that online for free here: http://www.pdftoword.com/

If you're worried sending your confidential files to that website I think they also have a desktop version to download for free.

The result might sometimes not be as good as from Acrobat Professional but it's free! :)

They do the same thing for Excel files and that worked great for me!

The best method I know that can do this, is any professional version of Acrobat

Interesting! I always knew that Acrobat can convert from Word to PDF but it just never cross my mind that it can also perform the reverse. Will give it a try. Thanks! – Lopper – 2010-02-09T04:02:59.387

Scan and OCR. OCR is pretty good these days. Usually there's some OCR software out of the box, even with a consumer grade scanner.
