I have Adobe Acrobat 9 and MS Word 2003. I submitted a manuscript to a
publisher in MS Word and got it back in pdf format after annotating
and correcting the proof. I now want to convert that version back
into MS Word to change some things, which was no problem with
Able2Extract, which I purchased just for this. But after conversion
from .pdf to .doc, I still have the "manuscript type" line numbering
all along the left side of each text page. I can't get rid of line
numbering in the Word version (with Page Layout etc), apparently
because it was put there by Adobe. Is there any way I can remove the
line numbering from within the pdf document? There is no "security"
etc to keep me from editing the pdf document.

I know I could go back to my original Word document, but after the
manuscript was accepeted, I did a lot of corrections on the document
from within the pdf file, and it is now quite different from my
original.

Many thanks for any suggestions, or to let me know if it's impossible,
and I can then move on to other issues.

Assuming the PDF isn't secured, buy a PDF to Word converter.

Hi Dave,

Maybe I wasn't clear in the original post. I did actually purchase
Able2Extract, which converted the pdf and doc files back and forth
very nicely. But as I later learned, even when I was successfull in
removing the manuscript line numbering in the pdf version, when
Able2Extract converted it back to MSWord, the lines re-appeared.

I think I'm just going to have to live with them. It really isn't that
critical. I was just trying to learn.

I'll keep working on it. If you have any other thoughts, I'd be
grateful. I think most of the problem is my lack of experience with
Adobe, even things like text boxes, etc. So I'm getting very friendly
with the "Help" section, as I should. But I couldn't find anything
about the line numbering in Adobe (plenty in Word), so that's why I
posted the request.
