Converting PDF to Word on The Mac

Solid Documents, a leading developer of document conversion technology for the Windows platform has just released Solid PDF to Word for Mac, giving Mac users the ability to convert PDF to editable formats.

In addition to converting PDFs to Microsoft® Word (.docx), the software will convert PDF to iWork Pages (.pages), Rich Text Format (.rtf), or plain text files (.txt). Users can also extract data to Excel (.xlsx and .csv) and reflow documents into continuous HTML (.htm) format.

System requirements
Mac computer with Intel processor
Mac OS X v10.5 or later
150MB of available hard disk space

Full disclosure: I do design work for the company so I'm simply helping to spread the news.
