Hi
Is there any simple method to convert PDF Files to Word, without losing
formatting?
I have to insert diagrams and flow charts into a document. They are
available in PDF format.
The only method I found is:
1. Adobe Illustrator: Open a page of the PDF-File.
2. Adobe Illustrator: Export the page in EPS format (encapsulated postscript.)
3. Word: Import the EPS file as picture (Access: Insert/Picture/From File.)
4. Word: Resize the picture to fit the page.
If you use this method the layout of the original pdf file will not be
changed. But: You cannot modify the inserted page in word. The layout will
be on printed pages in high quality.
I searched in the archive but did not find another method.
