Few days back, we have been preparing many projects, practicals and seminars for our semester examination of engineering. We had to deal with lots of PDF files (text/image) in the Internet, copying text/image from the PDF to word document was the most difficult tasks we faced. Converting word to PDF was easy because many software allows that but vice versa was not that easy because lot of tools were their but not for free, they all are expensive.

Update: - To convert word to pdf you can use this word to pdf converter.

After lot of hours of searching I found free software through which we converted the PDF file to word document successfully within few minutes and friends it was such an easy step to follow. Although for this conversion you will have to be online.

oh wow. This is so cool. I was looking for a software to do exactly the same and ended up buying nitro pdf :( . It sucks big time. A good waste of my money.

Do you know any free or cheap software that would let me do stuff like taking minor notes, highlighting etc with pdf documents?
