Assuming that the articles are edited in MS Word, and that no cuts need to be made in Acrobat, why not just send the Word version to the webmaster at the same time that you're putting it into design with Acrobat? If that assumption is not correct, you might want to look into http://www.hellopdf.com/ .

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 Eddy Goldberg, Managing Editor Franchise Update Media Group 413-256-6616 eddyg at franchiseupdatemedia.com www.franchiseupdatemedia.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
