If you have Adobe Acrobat, it installs filters that allow you to do this. It's expensive, by the way...!`

Got hold of a copy of Acrobat 5.0 full version but can't work out how to convert acrobat files into word without saving as rtf and losing all of the formatting.
Can anyone please help.

In 5 there is a text tool. You can select the text and copy and paste the text into word.

You will still lose the formatting.

Like I said before, you can not go back.

You can go from word to pdf, but not pdf to word.

It's just not built that way. You should not even be able to cut and paste from adobe into word. Becasue it is not a text file.

Think of it as a image.

You can insert a PDF link into a Word document by pasting the file. If you want to insert the image of a PDF document into Word, you will need Acrobat and will need to save the PDF document as a GIF. This will save the format into an image and youwill be able to size it inside of Word. If you want to preserve the text, you will need to reformat it in Word.
