Hi,guys.
I'm doing my paper with my teacher now,we are trying to convert 1500's of pdf files to word 2010 that has not been labeled correctly so using the built in feature that acrobat has does not allow the tables and colums to convert without going all over the place. Is there anyway to do this?
Hope to get answers as soon as possible.

1.Open the PDF file in a reader, for example in standard Adobe Reader.
2.Switch to the text selection tool.
3.Select the desired part of the text and copy it to the clipboard.
4.Run MS Word or any other editor and paste the text into it.
This is the simplest way to work out converting PDF to Word.

Interesting.

My thought would be to try an OCR program that would read a PDF image rather than a fresh scan of an image.

Sure, since you don't have any of the tools needed, luckily, there are many online converters.
