This free software may be of use to some - there is some command prompts needed
in order to install to Windows.

Hi All:
I did try a PDF file using Shift-F10 and selecting Open with then selecting
Word. It imediately prompted me that Word was going to open the PDF file.
Just a note, if the file consist of tables for visual layout, there may be
editing that will need to be done and if there are pictures you will have to
remove the picture and save the Caption if it is available.
This all works if you have Microsoft's Office 365 and Microsoft Word
2016 with the latest update.

Thanks. I used the Shift F10 keys after opening the file, and there was an
option for sending it to Word, so I saved it as a Word document. Tomorrow I
will try to open it with DBT. Thanks for your and all of the others
suggestions.
Jerry

No. duxbury will not allow you to inport a PDF file. You will either
have to get the person to provide you with a Microsoft Word file or
copy the entire text of the PDF file into word. You can also try
looking for a PDF to Word converter but I have not found anything free
or reasonably priced. If you have access to the Pro version of Adboe
Acrobat you might be able to convert the file into Word but the Pro
version of Acrobat is not cheap.
There are some online services but you have to pay for the service to
convert the file.
Hope this helps.
