Acrobat has Save tools and commands and supports exporting your PDF data in a variety of file formats. If you need to perform major editing on PDF files, it's always best to try to return to the original authoring application, make your edits and then convert PDF to Word or other formats. In some cases, however, you may not have an original-authoring-application document. In such circumstances, you may need to get the PDF data in a format you can manipulate and edit in another program. Fortunately, Acrobat X supports exporting to many different file formats that can be imported into other programs.

Chapter 10 of The Acrobat X PDF Bible explores many methods for converting PDF to Word and other formats and the file formats supported by Acrobat X, including:

• Save PDF files
