    will do what you want but it's shareware...........which means free if you adhere to the terms of the license.

    Basically, if you download the software, use it to edit your pdf and then uninstall the software, you're not breaking any laws.

    If you keep the software on your system, you should register and send payment to the author.

    same caveats as before..............don't think this one watermarks pages?

    then I suspect you'll not achieve what you want for free..................unless you're naughty and download full products and use cracks on them.

    But I couldn't possibly recommend that............

    Assuming you are using Adobe reader, have you tried to use the text select tool, then copy and paste into a word processor programme.

    not that its any use now but office 2007 can create, open and edit pdfs

    if you managed to get the 50 use copy from somewhere i.e. microsoft.com you could do it.
