This is a desperate call for help. My daughter needs a PDF file opened in 
Word and I have no idea how to do it. I have Adobe 6, a full version, and I 
have Word 2003. Any help is very very much 
appreciated.......Grandpa....Peter

AFAIK, you can't open a PDF in word without an external program.  I've 
used Omnipage Pro (not cheap).  It even may be impossible if the PDF is 
secured from copying with a password.

With an unsecured PDF, I "copied" the PDF in Acrobat with Ctrl-A, 
Ctrl-C, but it lost all formating when I pasted it into a blank Word doc.

There are several commercial programs. Type in Google  "convert  PDF
Word" and you'll  find them. Here is one which is  affordable :

Make sure that you can open the file in Acrobat first.  The file may be 
encrypted and can't be "translated" by any program - short of printing 
it out and scanned into an OCR program.

Well, my recall is accurate. I just opened a PDF document, highlighted
the text I wanted to copy, hit <edit>, <copy>, minimized Acrobat and
opened Word and did a CTRL-V. It showed up in Word. If you want to
ditch the PDF formatting, go into Word and hit <edit>, <paste
special>, <unformatted text>.

Worked for me.
