I'm trying to convert some PDF's to Word Doccuments, for a class, and it's not working out for me!
I'm tired of these PDF's!
Thanks, Joshua

Joshua,

Mostly, Adobe Acrobat Reader works pretty well.  PDF documents it doesn't read, particularly scanned documents, won't be read by the ibook software,
either.  Are you having a particular problem?

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

>Don't know if this has been said already, but I now have a secret to reading PDF's efficiently: iBooks! As long as the PDF is in text, I've found iBooks to
be the simplest and hassel-free way to read PDF documents. Just save the file to Dropbox and it will ask you to export on your phone. Choose iBooks,
and happy reading! You can also move your finger through the document line by line, though I find this technique to be a bit unreliable at times, depending
on how finely you can control the speed of your finger; and I find it works much better for me on an iPad.
