Any thoughts on what program would be good to turn a PDF to a Word file? I've got an exam script in PDF and I want to be able to type my answers to the exam paper direct...

You can simply just copy the text from the pdf-file over into the word file

Under Edit in the pdf-viewer is a select all - and then copy it into a word file.

As I recall - the creator of the .pdf file controls whether or not you have access to the copy and paste function.

If the creator does not allow this option - you will not be able to copy and paste - this is a copyright protection feature.

That is correct Smass.

But as Nippy wanted to do it for a exame thingy - I would not imagine it is copywrited or protected in that manner - but of course it should have been mentioned, just didn't think of it
