Is there any way to convert a PDF file to MS Word?

Ive searched through Google but all I'm getting is Free download trials and $99 deals.
I can't download programmes as I'm on the works computer:bang:

Surely there must be an easy way to do it:dunno:

Is a lunp
pulled this of pdfzone

With the PDF document open in Acrobat 7 Standard or Professional, choose File > Save As. In the Save As dialog box, choose Microsoft Word Document from the Format (Mac) or Type (Windows) pop-up menu. Then simply click the Save button, and open the document in Word for editing.

To check or change the settings that Acrobat uses to convert PDF content to Word format, open Preferences (choose Acrobat > Preferences on the Mac or Edit > Preferences in Windows) and choose Convert From PDF from the list of Categories on the left side of the dialog box. Then choose Microsoft Word Document from the Converting From PDF scrollable list. The window at right shows you how Acrobat will handle the conversion, including whether it will include comments, preserve columns and downsample images. To change these settings, click the Edit Settings button. (Alternatively, you can change these settings when you convert any given document by clicking the Settings button in the Save As dialog box.)

The conversion may not be perfect, depending on factors such as the complexity of the layout, and whether you have the document's fonts on your system. For simple business documents, Acrobat's Save As command does a decent job of converting to Word.

I just open them (Acrobat 7.0 Pro) and then click 'Save As' and choose whether to save as an older Acrobat version, JPEG, Word doc, RTF etc etc

Looks to me like you only have Adobe Reader and hence functionality is limited.

Lemme give it some thought - is the doc confidential or could you Skype me the .pdf? I can possibly convert to word and whack it back?

Thanks Samster, I'ts an example assignment I was going to use (plagurise) for my training course!
I haven't got access to Skype at work, so I might give you a shout tonight when I get home.

I might just type it up as Im here now anyways. It would be useful to know how to do it for the next time though.

Thanks for yours and Wolfie's advise:bow:
