Hi ! :( Whenever I copy some text from any text from PDF file & paste it in the Word document, it does not keep the source formatting. e.g., it changes the fonts from Times New Roman to Arial and also disturbed right or left allignment of text. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

In the wait of some warm, positive and quick responses from digit community. :D

ABBYY Fine Reader is the best in this case. I am using it to for quite some time and it is just great. It will keep the same formating as the original PDF file, line for line, word to word. It costs $300 to buy but its worth it. Try to find some trial version from cnet.com
