I have downloaded a pdf from the web. It looks fine in Acrobat 8 Professional; however, when I export it into a Word document the content is being distorted. Any recommendations?
What do you mean by "distorted"? It's not uncommon for there to be some changes when a document is converted from PDF to Word.
It's hard to predict what the results will be unless you know how the source file was constructed. For example, a PDF file may show text spaced horizontally and vertically on a page. The text looks the same, whether the source Word doc used a table, text boxes, frames, columns, or styles for placing the text.
You could try to export the PDF file in RTF format, or even copy the text from the PDF file and paste it into a blank Word document.
