Word doesn't natively support PDF documents. Also, PDF is intended to be a final, uneditable format for delivery to the end-user (the reader).
Within Acrobat Reader, you can use the Text Select tool to copy the text which you can then paste *new* Word document. Be aware that you will not get any of the formatting and layout of the original PDF, just the raw text.

Re: adobe to word
Um, changing the extension doesnt do squat. The file was encoded in Adobe, it cant be read by any other non-compatible program no matter how much you change the extension or want it to work. like was said above, Cut-and-paste is about your only option.marquis24 wrote:Does anyone know how to change or convert adobe pdf files to microsoft word doc files. i alredy went under explorer to tools to folder options and turned off hide extensions. i then changed it from pdf to doc but it didnt work it came out all wierd in word. can anyone help.
