How do I overcome the security setting on a pdf document so I can covert it to word. This is not to alter the meaning of the original document, purely to copy and paste into a word document.
You would need
1. Adobe Acrobat (not acrobat.com services)
2. The password chosen by the document's maker
The document might allow you to copy/paste text without converting to Word. Check it out. Otherwise contact the copyright holder to see if they will grant or sell you a copy for your use.
