If you have merged cells it's likely to be problematic. Else, I suspect someone could write a VBA script for a fairly uniform conversion.

Subject: Convert 1200 page PDF with Tables to Word
Hi
I have a document that is 1,200 pages long and the whole document is laid out in tables.
Has anyone tackled a similar job before and if so can you give any advice on how to approach this task?
If there is a PDF to Word conversion tool that will handle this conversion without a lot of manual correction after the conversion, I'd love to hear about it.
