Default open PDF then convert to WORD

I did read somewhere that there was very bad feeling between Microsoft and
Adobe some time ago and that MS actively set out to impede Adobe's PDF, but
that/I may be wrong.

Must be due to historical bad blood between MS & Adobe?

Or could it be something to do with MS wanting to develope/promote
their own format to compete with/usurp PDF??


However the 3 latter
paragraphs in my previous post are IMHO relevant.

I suspect that it has more to do with Adobe not wanting the major Word
processing player in the corporate arena making one of their key software
products largely redundant. Many corporates would not use cheap third
party tools to create PDFs, preferring to use industry standards. However,
I suspect it will be a while before the corporate buyers take up Office
2007, because their training overhead will be huge.

I have not heard of Microsoft wanting to replace the PDF format with one
of its own - but you never know - however if Microsoft were to do that, we
might get rid of Adobe's dreadful programming of Word add-ins for their
product.
