Upon conversion of my pdf to a word doc, each paragraph in Word is wrapped in a separate text box. Can anyone recommend any third party applications that do a better job of converting from pdf to word than Adobe Acrobat, or do they all create separate text boxes.

Thanks for your help.

Going to Word from PDF, the text goes into form fields which support positioning of the text or graphics bounded by the field.

As I understand it, this outcome is associated with how the PDF file format is made.

Third party applications may well do the job more to your satisfaction.
Regardless, they still are "translating". English to whatever... there is no
one-to-one correspondance at all levels. So, however you do it; once you've
moved the content into the word processor file format you going to have to
do fix-ups. In Word that means being one with your Style formats and templates. It will take time and effort.

...been there, not going back

Be well...
