How to convert pdf back to libre office?

[Colin McCubbin]

David,

I'm somewhat confused.. If you are using libre under windows, why post 
to an Ubuntu list?

In future before converting *anything* from one format to another, 
always save a backup, for example your original xyz.doc also saved as 
xyz.doc.bak so if things go awry you can go back to the original and 
start again. This will save you many hours of head scratching and 
frustration both now and in the future.

You could try an online service such as

http://www.pdfonline.com/pdf-to-word-converter/

To get your .doc back from the .pdf, depending on how 'sensitive' the 
.pdf content is of course.  Let us know if this works please.
