export to word with text editing

Does anyone know how to export to MS Word (use Word 2003) and retain the form text edits that were made to the .pdf file?

In Acrobat 6.0 Professional sending them to .jpg then adding them to Word was the way to do it but if I could go straight to word that would avoid 43 jpg files to convert to Word. This was the allure of Acrobat 8.0 for me.

Well I found that the only way to retain the form text edits was to:

1. Print to "adobe pdf"

2. Take that file and arrange all pages in order and in the proper orientation

3. Save to a jpg file

*****That is the only way I was able to retain the text edits. It would be so nice for the next version to keep text edits when exporting to a Word document.
