How to Extract Text From a PDF to Word.

Two of the most popular document formats include PDF and Word. People generally use Word to create and edit documents, and they use PDF to display and print documents. Professionals choose to publish documents in PDF, because PDF prints exactly as displayed on screen, cannot be edited by users and can be saved in a compressed format. You can easily extract text from a PDF document and insert it into a Word document for later editing.

Instructions

* 1. Open the PDF document inside the Adobe PDF reader.

* 2. Choose the "Select" tool from the PDF toolbar. The Select tool displays on the toolbar as a small arrow-like cursor, sometimes accompanied by the words Select. If the Select tool does not appear on your toolbar, click on the "Tools" menu. Within the Tools menu, click on the "Basic" sub-menu or the "Select & Zoom" sub-menu, depending on your PDF version. Choose the Select tool listed on this sub-menu.
* 3. Highlight text to extract, by pressing down while moving your mouse over the selected text. In later PDF versions, you can double, triple or quadruple click with your mouse to select an area of text. If you wish to copy only a single word, double-click with your mouse anywhere on the word. If you wish to copy a whole line of text, triple-click with the mouse anywhere on the line. If you want to extract an entire page, quadruple-click with your mouse anywhere on the page.
* 4. Select "Copy" from the "Edit" menu or press CTRL-C to copy the PDF text.
* 5. Open Microsoft Word. Open the Word document in which you wish to insert the PDF text.
* 6. Move your mouse to the exact location in the Word document where you want the text to be inserted.
* 7. Select the "Paste" option from within the "Edit" menu or press CTRL-V to paste the text into the Word document.
