I have a Flash-based training course that needs to be translated into another language. 240 of the reference files are in PDF format, and some of those are only partially-writeable. There are no source files to use. So I got the brilliant idea to convert them all to DOC files.

Problem is that the software I tried to use, "PDF to Word", advertises that it converts in batch, but it didn't for me. It also caused a major DLL conflict with Word, and shut me down for a few hours.

Does anyone have any other software recommendations for converting 240 files at one time?

Thank you tremendously in advance!

Check out PDF Converter Professional from Nuance. I'm not sure about batch conversion, but it seems to do a good job.

VeryPDF has a tool that is inexpensive and claims to do it in batch mode. I have no experience with them.

If you have a full version of Adobe Acrobat you can save your PDF in either the Rich Text format or as a Word Document (latest version). It just has to be Acrobat Standard or Professional version, the free Reader won't do that.
