How to Convert a PDF File to Microsoft Word

1. Open the PDF file you want to convert into a PDF reader, such as Adobe Reader.
2. Click 'Tools' and 'Select,' making sure that the Select Tool (show with an arrow) is chosen.
3. Select the text of the PDF file copy, and then paste it into your blank Microsoft Word file. Do this one page at a time if necessary.
4. Reduce both the Microsoft Word and Adobe PDF file into a half screen so that you can view the two files side by side. Edit the Word file to match the file, text color, and spacing of the Adobe file.
5. If you have images in your PDF file that you want to translate to Microsoft Word, this task will be a little more complicated. Open the PDF file, one page at a time in Adobe Photoshop or a similar program that will allow you to edit PDF files as an image. Make sure you have the 'Select' tool active. Select each image you need. Copy and paste them into separate files and save them in a folder with the new Microsoft Word file you are creating.
6. Select 'Insert' and 'Picture' to insert the images from your PDF file into your Microsoft Word file. Position them as needed by right-clicking the pictures in Word. Click 'Format Picture' or 'Size Picture' to change the settings.
7. Verify your PDF file with your new Microsoft Word file to make sure you have converted everything to look as similar as possible.
