Convert PDF to Word document?
Hello, there! Could you recommend a PDF to DOC converter that would not insert line breaks on each line, but would detect paragraphs. Or that would not, even worse, convert each line to a text box?

Thank you but I think, I tested PDFZilla before and each line is either a text box or has a paragraph mark – None – 2009-09-29T16:30:20.537
converting PDFs AND maintaining proper formating and imagery is always a tricky affair. – None – 2009-09-29T16:35:42.880

One of these will surely do it. A bit of trial and error needed!
Freeware genius gives a comparison test of a few of them, but not Phil Pursglove's suggestion PDF to Word which I have used satisfactorily. I really don't know about your specific needs, but but interested to hear.

Google Docs is now testing a new API feature that uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) on images and PDFs.
From Google Operating System:
Google Docs API tests a new feature that lets you perform OCR (optical character recognition) on an image. There's a live demo that illustrates this feature: you can upload a high-resolution JPG, GIF, or PNG image that has less than 10 MB and Google Docs extracts the text and converts it into a new document. Google mentions that "the operation can currently take up to 40 seconds" and a small test showed that the service is not yet reliable: it's slow and it frequently returns errors.
The results are far from perfect and you'll find many errors, but the service is free and it's constantly improving. Here's the result of the OCR for this scanned document:
Edit: Whoops! ~quack reminded me I forgot the last step! A Google Docs document can be exported in a number of different formats, including HTML, OpenOffice, and Word:
