I have read a number of articles on saving Word documents to .pdf format, but I haven't had any luck finding out how to convert them from .pdf back to Word documents. Any suggestions?

the documents are non-convertable. The idea is that you can publish a PDF and be secure in the knowledge no one can alter it.

The only way I can think of to convert it back is to print it, and the OCR the document. It is a lot of work.

Have you tried the features in Adobe Acrobat 5? They offer rich capture and extraction of both text and images. It's as good as you are going to get from PDF.
