Is it possible to convert a PDF document into a text editable document ?

Cheers.

As far as I know the only way is buying adobe acrobat.

as long as there are no pics in and you don't mind re-formatting it all you could try to copy and paste into word etc

Otherwise try CUTE PDF ( it's free ) and I think you can edit PDFs in that

Then again I could be totally , horribly wrong 😉

If it's just text - copy & paste it into Word

I have googled it and tried a few different ones, but they only convert into a word document and not text editable.

Time is short and I hope that someone in the STW massive would be able to give a direct response or answer 🙂

I normally use [url= http://www.pdfonline.com/pdf2word/index.asp ]PDF Online[/url] to convert documents from PDF to Word

I wasted loads of time on this...

Think this is what I ended up using...

[url= http://freeware-pdf-unlocker.en.softonic.com/ ]unlocker[/url]

The fee version of [url= http://www.docu-track.com/home/prod_user/PDF-XChange_Tools/pdfx_viewer ]THIS[/url] lets you add notes / comments once the doc is unlocked...don't think it lets you full edit functions though.

You can import them into Illustrator and you can modify the text

Easier option:
I use Foxit free PDF reader, not Adobe.

In the File -"save as" there is an option to save the doc as text.
Job done
