Dear Richard:

Thanks for pointing out the "tag" option. I took a closer look at "PDFMaker" (which is the name of the addon for Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint). There is indeed an option to create a "tagged" PDF file. More interestingly, there is an option to "Attach source file to the PDF" (as an attachment). Boy--that would certainly make these files easy to convert from PDF to Word. :-)

Dear Richard:

Thanks for the informative article on issues regarding PDF-to-Word conversion. I don't know the innards of PDF but your footnote "It is possible to create PDF files with embedded structure information in them..." intrigued me. When you purchase Acrobat Professional, you get a plug-in that allows you to generate PDFs from within Word. How "structured" are the PDFs generated this way?
