Exporting pdf to word

When I export a simple pdf to word the word doc has framed each paragraph. Sometimes the formatting needs tweaking but I need to remove the frame first which screws up the rest of the doc. Is there any way to remove all the paragraph frames at once? I am running Word 2003, Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional on Windows XP.

Hi --

Short answer: nope. It's very frustrating, but based on the structure of the document itself it makes sense.

You could try to export the document from Acrobat as Rich Text Format rather than Word format. Sometimes that makes a difference in how the document structure is interpreted.
