In order to be able to freely play around with a PDF document, you are going to have to convert it into a format that can be processed by almost every word processor out there – RTF (Rich Text Format), for example. RTF is a file format for documents that can be viewed and edited in almost all word processing applications. However, converting PDF into RTF isn’t the challenge – doing so while maintaining every bit and piece of content and content formatting is. Thankfully, there certainly are applications and other resources that can be used to convert PDF documents into RTF documents while still making sure that they retain all of their original content and formatting. In order to convert a PDF into an RTF document while making sure that it retains all of its original content and formatting, you can either use a third-party application that is designed specifically for this purpose or a website that you upload PDF files to and get converted RTF files in return from.
