Converting files
Hi guys
I am trying to find a program that can convert my business's invoices into microsoft word so I can change the layout of the text.
I have downloaded a free program but it chucks all the text out of line.
Does anyone know a good program that will do this for me?
Thanks
Ryan

Re: Converting files
Open office http://download.openoffice.org/
Also Abiword http://www.abisource.com/download/
Abi word is a MS word clone, Open office is the MS office clone
Abi word can run from a flash drive.

Do you mean scan them in and convert them? Therefore you're looking for OCR software that can retain the layout?

Re: Converting files
What file format are the invoices in?
Or, as Cob asks above, are they paper invoices that will be scanned?

Re: Converting files
They are pdf files created by my business website, but the layout is incorrect for our label paper so I need to move the delivery address. Obviously I cant do this as a pdf so am trying to convert it from the saved pdf file on my computer to a microsoft word document so I can re-arange the layout of the text?

This free online one claims to be most accurate in retaining formatting:
