Can the Word 2010 Beta read PDF files?

currently you can save files in pdf format, but word can't read the PDF files you create with it. makes no sense, but try it..

I've installed MSE on all the PCs of my friends ever since I started using it, no body gave me any complaints.

Ok thanks Jacee but according to that it seems Word will only be able to write pdf files not read them. Am I correct? Thanks

Hi there
download adobe reader or point a browser such as IE at the LOCAL address containing the PDF file -- all these can READ PDF's

cheers

If you want a better experience and a far smaller and faster product, instead use Fox IT PDF reader. It does come with a toolbar that you have to install at first...but you can easily uninstall it from Programs and Features.

This program does an excellent job in converting PDF files to Word - and it is free.​

Boy! How did we get off topic?
I was talking about Microsoft Security Essentials not Adobe Acrobat Reader.
FYI I use Fox-It. Saves space and not bloatware Adobe.

Well, that's useful too, isn't it?

After Microsoft Security Essentials been out for FREE for a few months it surprises me how many don't know about this great tool.

Perhaps there are many people out in the ether who know of it & choose to ignore it............. as do I.

Any particular reason?

I'm exercising my freedom of choice in personal security after having investigated the options currently available. [What I often end up with is contrary to the "flavour of the month." So far my choices have served me well. I have never had any malware or a virus ever, after years of being online.]

What it does is convert PDF files to Word files (.pdf to .docx) and you can convert a whole bunch in one run. It is very fast and extremely accurate. But you then have to open the resulting files yourself. I converted a some with a lot of graphs, 3D, links and hyperlinks, etc and you cannot tell the conversion from the original - perfect.

OK, understand - pure whim. I thought you had some insights that I had missed.

I pointed an insight out earlier in the thread.

Why are they a fraud? Are there any links that back that statement up? As far as I know they are one of the most trusted av testing sites around. I could be wrong, though. Am I?

Someone links to them and it goes on and on and on with people thinking it's a good resource.

The reason I don't think they are? They had shady testing methods for quite some time and they require AV companies to pay them to include their software. AVC is a sham in my book.
