How to read PDF docs using Office Word 2007?

[Keith Discovering]

Hi Gents,

When i just want to view a file in my documents folder, I want to use Word as it's the screen i have open. When i try to open a PDF file, the file can't be read by word and gobbidgook comes on the screen.

I don't want to convert PDF files to Word or "SAVE AS"..a PDF file, just read the damn thing clearly.

any suggestions please?

cheers

Acrobat Reader? Any free PDF reader?

Foxit is arguably the best pdf reader - it's smaller & faster than Acrobat and you can also add notes to the document if you want to.

Thanks for the replies gents. These are great but how can they work using Word 2007? I want MS Word to open the document :(

Word doesn't open PDF documents. PDF is not a format it understands. It's like trying to run your Cessna on JetA1.

You need a PDF reader. As has been mentioned; Acrobat or Foxit.

The URL I posted to Solid Converter now seems broken!
