Tom,
One reason people distribute PDF format is because it is not easily
modified by the average end-user.

2955.2 | Adobe makes a converter. BIG BUCKS! | JULIET::HARRIS_MA | Networks Sales Exec | Wed Mar 19 1997 12:35 | 5 |
| Adobe's high end PDF tools will do that. I think it's call Adobe
Capture or Distiller or something like that. I think it's about
$500-$600 for the software.

| re: .2
Adobe Distiller goes from .ps to .pdf, but not the other way
and not to anything else...at least that's true of the version
I'm running.
Adobe Photoshop can convert a bunch of formats. That might be
worth checking into.

| It's real easy.
(1) Print it.
(2) Scan it in, using a high-quality OCR program like WordScan that
can reproduce fonts and formatting for Word.
I might have omitted step (1a -- drop $500 or so on a scanner that
comes with WordScan...).

| ...And for the record, we bought Adobe Acrobat V3.0 for about $176. It
contains the Reader, Exchange, Distiller, Capture, and Catalog (tools to
do various things with PS and PDF files).

| I think it's Acrobat V3 Professional that does it... NOT the standard
version.
