[Discuss] pdf to word



Don't bother.  Convert your TeX file to RTF with tex2rtf or latex2rtf.  Then use LibreOffice to convert that to a Word file.

Formatting at that point is a secondary concern.  Anyone asking for a Word doc in addition to your PDF is probably going to stuff that file into Bullhorn.  They're not going to care much what it looks like; all they want is something that they know Bullhorn will index.  They've been told that Bullhorn will index Word files so they ask for Word files.
