Beware other dirty tricks

Acrobat still obviously has oodles of features that pro users will want, but I reckon there's a long, long tail of people who just need to go "PDF->DOCX" without any faffing about.

Unfortunately, we use lots of PDF forms at work and I seem to have to use Acrobat for that - I haven't found anything else that lets me fill out PDF forms. I hate it because it is so slow and so horrible to work with. :-/ PDF to DOC has lots of reasonable tools, but AFAIK, they don't retain the form-like functionality. And even if they do and work reliably (do they??), having to do PDF to DOC to PDF seems broken. Cheers, Scott.

Other wordprocessors, which may or may not have PDF-reading and export abilities, are available.
