Adobe?

[Lucifers_Ghost]

I have a bunch of pdf documents that I have to read through. But dear god, I find them hard to read off the screen in adobe. I find adobe has a "glossy" sort of look to it that makes it a bit "blurry." I dont have a printer sadly either, so I cant print it.

Essentially what I want to do is get a program that I can open a pdf file, copy it, and paste it into word so i can read it there.

Any ideas?

Thanks a bunch.

Google PDF to Word. There are many converters.

If it isn't protected then you should be able to copy from acrobat reader into word. If it is protected then many of the converters wont do it either.

if it is glossy - it is most likely a scan , and no mater what you look at it with - it is still going to look glossy because it is a picture

It is indeed a scan. I had no idea until I tried to convert them.

Depending on the resolution and quality of the scan you could try some OCR software to convert it to text data. May be more trouble than it's worth if you're just trying to read them though. Maybe just take them into a copyshop and print them out in B&W?

For these kind of PDF I use OmniPage Pro. This application used to be owned by ScanSoft but now it is owned by Nuance. They have PDF converters but it is payware.
