A. Angel Bright,

To convert a PDF file to a MS Word doc, go to the URL

http://nuance.com/pdfconverter/professional/

and purchase PDF Converter 4.

As for the Primavera file format, I have no idea how to help you.


Good luck!

Step One - Print out the PDF File

Step Two - Open Primavera

Step Three - Read and type file back into Primavera

Some things just aren't easy....

Response to A. Angel Bright:

PDF is classified as a "auto-morphing poly-format". Conversion to other file formats from PDF is therefore not always a simple or programmatically tractible endeavor. Essentially since PDF often appears to be a secure format, many users are often unaware as to whether they are trying to convert a photographic image of the data or the actual data. In simple cases, conversion may be as easy as copying and pasting the data. In other cases (assuming retyping the text is undesirable) OCR may be necessary (some estimates say 70% maximum OCR conversion reliability) or most desirable solution may be use of a internet-portal-type data conversion service such as Adobe(TM) provides at it's website (conversion may not be guaranteed but might be free if successful). Intricate conversions seemingly threaten to remain impossible or may require a representative conversion fee due to the inherently non-straightforward (intractible) conversion process.

NOTE: Conversion of photographic images of data requires OCR or retyping or location/procurement of original source text document.

None. Convert to excel using Adobe first then you can use it anyway you want it. Good Luck.
