    I need something that will let me modify PDF files by converting them to MS Word and then let me convert them back to a PDF file.

    I know of Adobe but its expensive and I already used the free trial they give you.

    Anyone recommend a good program that's free that will let me do this?

    I have some PLR books that I need repackaged and don't know how else to do it.

    Thanks.

    I tried using both of the programs that you guys recommended and they worked for converting the Word document to PDF, but my hyperlinks are not working in the PDF file. I tested them out in Word and they are working fine. The text is still blue and underlined but I just can't click them.

    Can anyone help me out with this please?

    I did find one, but if you read my latest post, I'm having trouble getting the links to work in the PDF file. They work in MS Word but once I convert they aren't clickable. I tried searching online for a solution but couldn't find one that worked.

    I use CutePDF and my links work fine in my PDF viewer, but I put the whole URL address and didn't try creating any linked text. Try putting the whole URL in parentheses where you want the link to appear and see if it works for you?

    I ended up downloading the Adobe trial and they worked just fine. I didn't change anything so I'm not sure why the other PDF editors wouldn't convert the links.

    Thanks for the tip though, I'll try it next time.

    2. GoogleDOCS - you can also upload, edit and save pdf files in it.
