RE: PDF conversion to Word (tables!)

["Dan Goldstein" <DGoldstein -at- riverainmedical -dot- com>]

Don't know if I should mention this one... www.pdf-file.com *claims* to

But just a few months ago, Gene wrote that pdf-file performed badly with
"anything more elaborate than vanilla inline text and images."

I've never used it myself.
