Re: Can one successfully bring a multi-page tiff into a word processor?

If OCR is not reqd, directly adding a TIFF file via Word import menu is possible but one may have to resize the tiff image inside the doc/docx to fit the page size(A4 , etc.)

These products use OCR/other components to convert to doc/docx or xls/xlsx or other Office formats:
Nuance PDF Converter Pro, FineReader Pro OCR , Nitro Pro OCR edition etc.

PDF XChange Viewer can export pdfs as image, yo may try this to see if it works in your case:

PDF XChange Viewer:
-file->export->export to image:png,300dpi
MSWord:
-Remove margins on new doc
-insert image from file->order files by name, select them all and insert them into your doc

Edit:

BTW the best pdf to doc converter I have tried so far is VeryPDF PDF2Word,
you might want to try the free online converter or the shareware desktop version.

Contro:
If it's important, I would recommend recreating the file as a DOC from scratch. I have never seen any PDF conversion that was decent (I've tried out many, including Acrobat). Some will convert to pure text somewhat reasonably, but you'll still need to reformat everything and insert fields, images, etc. The image method you mentioned can work, but it will still be a pretty ugly solution.

I tried some time ago Solid Converter from PDF to DOC and impresive result.
Now is different.

Contro:
Maybe Universal Document Converter 5.5 would help(compatible w/Office 2013) - it converts pdf into image files(multiple pages will be correctly handled if you choose tiff format)- UDC does NOT convert pdf to doc/docx files.

OR, you may try Abby products:
Finereader Pro OCR :http://finereader.abbyy.com/about_ocr/whatis_ocr/

All I see is what you talk about. Always considering the possibility of OCR transcription.
In this very special case I only need images at the other end (doc )

Contro:
Maybe Universal Document Converter 5.5 would help(compatible w/Office 2013) to convert pdf into image files(multiple pages will be correctly handled if choose tiff format, note that color tiff files are usually large size, if black n white tiff files sizes are smaller):

I can print to multi-page Tiff with PDFCreator (which I think Contro uses as well)

Can one successfully bring a multi-page tiff into a word processor?

That's the question.

Can one successfully bring a multi-page tiff into a word processor ?
And only images, not OCR techniques.
