Can anyone recommend a program that converts .pdf's back to excel or word? Adobe is wicked expensive, even the older versions I'm finding on ebay. Thanks!

Hey Pam.
I think you can use this one on a trial basis and do one page pdfs to docs without having to pay. Anything more and you have to upgrade. I could be wrong.

I'm not 100% sure but I believe it is possible to do what you want with Open Office -- and that's free.

Open Office is great for exporting  F files, but sadly it cannot import them.

Hey Pam, check out F Xchange:
http://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-pro
I use their "lite" version for F reading and marking up. The Pro version is only $75, and on the list of features it says:
Convert F to .DOC & .RTF

also - if one uses google docs - and who wouldn't? you can create/upload your document & convert it to a number of different formats - including pdf - for free --- with the added bonus of being able to save said document on/in the "cloud" and off of your desktop.

Unless you need the formatting. Just highlight the text and copy paste it into whatever document you want. I do it all the time.
Text formatting transfers OK but columns etc usually will not. And I don't usually do anything with Excel, so I am not sure about that.
