How can I convert PDF to Word?!

Hi, I'm new here.
I need to convert a PDF file into Word (about 350 pages) so that I can reformat it. But I can not copy from the PDF.
I don't wanna hire someone to retype it. I've tried some converter but all of them failed to convert it because the PDF is protected.
Any good idea? Thanks!~

 

@DomLuc Thanks, it's a great PDF viewer, but I don't know how to switch the PDF into Word, I can save it as txt, but the format and images will all gone.

 

Hi Melvinjames18,

ZoeA gave you a nice list there...

You can also try to print the pages then scan them back onto the pc in .doc or .docx format.

In fact, there are two kind of protection for PDF. "User password" is to prevent someone opening the PDF, it's usually very difficult to crack.
And the other we call "Owner password", it set permission for copying and printing.
And I do know a converter called AnyBizSoft that support protected PDF(owner password) conversion. Melvinjames18, you can have a try:-D

And the original layout and images can be preserved! Then you don't have to retype it at all.
I'm also new here, hope I can help!

 

I'm loving this forums! So many nice guys here!
@cosanostra0905 Many thanks, I'm using the software you told me, it works!

 

@techsent I don't know how can I scan to doc, the scanner I used is TOSHIBA, there are only tiff or PDF format for output files.
@ZoeA Good post, thanks anyway.

 

I once downloaded a PDF unlocker freeware a while back, it works really nice, let me know if you still need it, I can ftp for you.

I actually used for an IT project we had and the document was locked with password, it just got rid of it and we were able to make changes.
Although we had acrobat for that too. But there are many freebies out there too to have it change from PDF to word as said before.

 

Glad that I can help!~ If still have problems please let me know.
Password remover? Will it take a long time cracking password?!
Acrobat is really professional, but it's just too expensive.

 

I’d recommend http://www.pdftodocconverterpro.com
It is a quick and easy to use program and they have a completely free version that does not expire.
