I have just purchased the PDF to MS Word converter "VeryPDF PDF2Word v.
3.0".
It keeps the original layout almost 100% (text, pictures, tables), but it
would insert a Hard Return after each line of text.
If I want to process this Word file, it needs some cleanup (replacing
several hard returns within various paragraphs).

Is there another PDF to Word converter which is equally good in retaining
the layout PLUS getting rid of the unwanted hard returns?

Thanks,

Murgi

This is what you get when you try to convert a graphical format into text.
You could try a better OCR software package, such as Finereader, but you
will always have some cleaning up to do. Maybe it would be better to work
with what you have - see

Thanks for the hint. I'll try it since I have Finereader.
