    This one does an okay job. If not, and it's only for one or two files, you can send me the PDF and I'll send you back a DOC.

    if not protected, then choose the test selection box and copy it , later versions of the reader 6 have an option to save as text

    You could also use pdfcreator to print it to tif/jpg and then SimpleOcr 3.1 - messy but free

    Oh and since one of the reasons for using PDF's is to stop you copying , it's not meant to be easy - also you would need to check copyright implications

    I used a program called Doc Pixie I think to do this before, full version was only 3 euro and for the amount of docs i had to convert it was worth it
