    Does anyone know of a Free program that will convert PDF files into some other format such as text, doc or any other word processing format?

    Since there don't seem to be any other suggestions, I'll rephrase my question.

    I have both Adobe Reader and Foxit Reader. Is there any way to copy a pdf document or form to a word processor type program such as the ones in Open Office or SoftMaker Office?

    I'm trying to take a pdf form and use it in a spreadsheet format with a lot of calculations that would then flow to the form.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I have used this app and can vouch for its usefulness. It converted every PDF I threw at it, but occasionally there were formatting problems (like paragraph breaks were wrong or graphic placement was off) but the formatting issues were generally easy to correct.
    . . . and it's FREE!!!

    :-D

    md2lgyk, check your link. It leads me to an ad site that says this domain may be for sale.
