[Oz-teachers] Convert pdf to word

[Lyndon Sharp]

Hi Michael.
On the Board website, we have most of the syllabuses downloadable as 
MS Word docs anyway - but if you are missing any document that you 
need in text-editable format - email me and I can get one of my 
desktoppers to send you what you need. That is the easiest converter 
- get someone else to do it for you!

On the PDF to editable format issue - why not try Adobe's own converter?
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/access_onlinetools.html

You can also send a PDF as an attachment to an e-mail message, and 
your documents will be sent back to you - converted. For plain text, 
mail the attached PDF to pdf2txt at adobe.com. For HTML, mail the 
attached PDF to pdf2html at adobe.com.

Try it out - it is interesting to see what the conversion issues are 
(eg Tables), but it gives you quick access to the text to 
cut-and-paste into your programs.
