Here are some handy notes regarding Adobe Acrobat 9 (the version bundled with Adobe CS4 suites):
- PDF re-purposing
- Advanced...Document Processing...Export All Images
Advanced...Accessibility...Add Tags to Document
Advanced...Accessibility...Touch Up Reading Order
File...Export...Word Document
File...Export...Rich Text Format
unfortunately, there is no Export to InDesign option.
DON'T use File...Export...Image, which turns the entire page into an image. Click here for a discussion of a Recosoft Corporation plug-in for creating InDesign documents from PDFs.
