Over to the Group Mind

Can anyone recommend a good .pdf to .doc and/or .rtf translator?

I’ve tried a number of them, and they all load the resulting file with massive amounts of formatting clutter, which make it (among other things) impossible to produce a decent result while working in e-formats.

Friend of the blog TJIC managed to fix Hardwired when it was afflicted with this problem, but (1) I’d hate to keep bugging him with one ms after another, and (2) I’d rather the problem never exist in the first place.

So far I’ve used Smart PDF Converter, DocSmartz Platinum, Able2 Extract, Nitro, and some free online services.  All of which had similar problems.

Anyone know anything else?
