hello. im converting a PDF into a MSword DOC file. but its time =
consuming
because copy and paste doesnt copy and paste. it 'sort of copies it =
all' and
'paste'. anyway.... ive used adobe photoshop to convert the PDF into a
series of PSD files rather than do a screen capture of each page etc... =
and
loose quality. a screen capture will capture it at 72dpi and using
photoshops convertion it creates the files at 300dpi. which is what i =
need
it at for printing.

the questions i have are....

1) why doesnt copy and paste actualy copy? it misses out . and , and =
=A3
etc...

2) why doesnt photoshop5 convert the PDF into colour? it is colour, but =
ive
chosen RGB, CMYK for the conversion and it doesnt work. the pallet is
colour, but the actual image has no colour.

3) when i save the file as a jpg to be inserted into the MSword =
document it
goes fine. until i import the image. i go to insert>picture>from file =
and
the image is tiney. but, i open the same image in foreworks3 and resave =
it,
and then insert it into MSword, the image fits perfectly where i want =
it on
the page. its the right size.

im using PS5, fireworks3, MSword2000 on windows platform, and acrobat4
(4.05b... if it matters).

i dont understand what its doing.

id apreaciate any ideas or answers.
thankyou.
