Assuming Adobe 8.0 is Adobe Acrobat 8.0, try save as RTF.

I have no idea why it would be an image, the text should be preserved
(not much else though).

Cheers,

Subject: Looking for a miracle


Hello All -

After a hard drive crash I learned that the only remaining copy of a 
manual I'm working on is in PDF.  The source is in Word.  I have Adobe 
8.0 loaded and have done a "save as" to get the manual to open in Word 
but it appears that the resulting Word file is limited to an image of 
the PDF content.

Is there any way that the PDF can be converted to a straight editable 
Word document?

Elizabeth

P.S.  No mail please about the hard drive crash, backing up, etc.  
That's been handled.
