Can it convert PDF to MSWord, say 120 page doc

using what software?

<div>
&gt; using what software? <br />
The first one.<br />
<br />
Trying the 2nd one: Ok it costs about 23pounds, was looking for something like less than US$10
</div>


<div>
Though I could split a 120 page PDF doc using Pdfsam into 24 files &amp;&nbsp;then convert one by one :<br />
not a bad tool, just that if only the free version could offer batch conversion

As a rule of thumb: <br />
- if the PDF document was created from a Word document, the result of converting from PDF to Word will be somewhat OK.<br />
- if the PDF document was created using a professional layout software (Indesign, QuarkXpress, etc), converting it to Word will produce an unusable mess.<br />

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.

Optical character recognition (OCR) is the mechanical or electronic conversion of images of typed, handwritten or printed text into machine-encoded text. It is widely used as a form of data entry from printed paper data records, including passport documents, invoices, bank statements, computerized receipts, business cards, mail, printouts of static-data, or any suitable documentation. It is a common method of digitizing printed texts so that it can be electronically edited, searched, stored more compactly, displayed on-line, and used in machine processes such as machine translation, text-to-speech, key data and text mining. OCR is a field of research in pattern recognition, artificial intelligence and computer vision.
