Does the 8.0 version allow one to edit a pdf document, i.e. someone sends me a pdf document, can I save it as a Word document and then edit it???

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8, Windows

Hi cfomd,

There is a Convert to Word feature in Acrobat 8, but from reports here it is not a perfect translation unless the PDF is a really plain vanilla document (simple text). You may want to read Duff Johnson's blog entry about some of the issues on PDF to Word conversions.

Hope that helps,
