Thank You.



Is there another way? The cost is $249US ie $490(approx) Australian dollars

Another way is to use Acrobat's built in conversion to Word or rtf and import that back into InDesign.



Either way, remember that PDF is a final form file format in which the original layout program docment's contexts such as what is an article, frame, paragraph, sentence, etc. are not maintained. All PDF maintains is content at a particular position on a particular page. As such all attempts to return such content to an editable format achieves somewhat mixed results.

What you're trying to do is akin to putting an egg back in the shell

after making an omelette.



Be prepared for a lot of manual work either way.

I forgot how much I always enjoyed Bob Levine's responses!



Howdy! Back from a very long vacation from these forums!
