[Hidden-tech] Converting PDFs to Word?

[Eddy Goldberg]

Hi H-Ters,

I'm editor at 2 quarterly business magazines. We publish in print and  
online.

(Yes, I'm a H-T member, since the beginning, and live here in the  
Happy Valley.)

We're looking for the simplest, most automated (if possible) way to  
convert the final PDF files we send our printer into MS-Word so our  
webmaster can post the upcoming issue online ASAP. Our Art director  
is doing it manually now, not the best use of her time. Here's what  
our webmaster wrote:

"I need articles in MS Word, plus I need a PDF copy of the magazine  
so that we can use it as a guide when posting the articles, as well  
as extract the images from the PDFs for use in the online articles.  
We will not pull content from the PDF copy as Acrobat does nasty  
things to text when you pull it out of a PDF. It's a nightmare to  
work with PDF-extracted text."

Questions:
1) Any help with converting PDFs to Word?
2) Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks for any ideas,
Eddy
