Hello Perl addicts,
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to convert a PDF document into MS
Word using Perl?
I need this information to carry out a project at a client.
Thanks and have a nice weekend.

Not (easily) with Perl. The only easy Solutions I know, is to use an OCR
software, that "scans" the PDF and generates a Word document.
Maybe you could automate this using Perl.

Why use Perl? Google for pdf2doc, many products use that name.

Hi Anton
If the doc is locked you have a problem, but if it isn't, just hit ^A and=
you
will select the page or whole doc, and then copy it to the clipboard.
Perl isn't the best solution to /every/ problem you know :-).
