I like free trial pdf to word converter software very much. But there's a problem. Because of my job, I often need to convert PDF to Word, and I have used some freeware, but it hardly meet my needs. http://www.nemopdf.com/how_to_use/pdf_to_word.html Sounds great!

But it may not be easy. If you can copy and paste the text on a page of your pdf file, then you can copy it into a word document like that. With a big file, that may not be practical. It also would not retain any of the document's format. It seems likely that there is a program that would do that, but I can't name one offhand. If you can't do a copy and paste, you have a document that is in picture format. The only way to convert that would be to run each page through an OCR (optical character recognition) program, such as topocr. I doubt you can find a program to do this automatically, but it's not impossible. Theoretically, yes. But it may not be easy.

I was wondering how to reverse something which is in PDF format. Such as, word is made into pdf. Is it possible to change pdf into a word document? Thanx Dave,

The last shall be first. I haven't used the program, so I don't know how well it works. The website does offer a trial period, so the obvious solution is to download it, test it, and only buy it if it works for you. Just make sure you scan it for viruses before you install it.
