Pdf to Word anyone?

One of the things I've always liked about the Mac is the ease with which you can create a pdf version of a file. Simply choose the pdf option from the print menu and the operating system does the rest for you.

I like pdf's because everyone can read them and see them exactly as you send them. No need to make sure you have a compatible version of a programme. This is great for me because I use programmes like Omnioutliner and Scrivener, and when I want to send the data I can simply convert it to a pdf.

The only problem is what do you do when you get a pdf that you want to edit? Well, if you are a Windows users, then you might find this application worth a look.

You can find the download here, and there's a free trial version.

As a Mac user I haven't tried it but thought I'd point it out in case anyone I send a pdf to wants to be able to edit the content!

I've yet to find a pdf editor for the Mac that I really like, but that may be because I haven't looked particularly hard.
