I have looked all over for something like this and never had any luck. I'll be checking back to see if anyone else has.

Welll you guys' must not be looking very hard

Open Office will save natively as PDF and it can open Microsoft Office documents. So that will turn a .doc into a pdf no problem.

Then there is Foxit PDF viewer and their editor. Their viewer is only about 2 megs and requires no install. It's a hell of a lot faster then Adobe viewer, though has a couple limitations - but none that have become a real issue for me.

They also have an editor. The full version is cheaper then adobe but again not quite all the bells and whistles but for most purposes it's more then sufficient. The free version isn't cippled but it puts a Fox-it watermarker in the top right corner of every page.

I'd be much more interested in something that would convert PDF to .doc, .txt, or even .odt (Open Office), not the other way around. PDF is such a pain! It looks pretty, but is useless if you don't have the paid-for software suite. Crapobat. I write a lot of reports and do quite a bit of research and analysis in my job. When I dig up electronic documents in .pdf, I just want to scream sometimes. I can't do anything with them other than read them or make screen shots.

Updated Acrobat Reader allows you to select/copy all objects, and paste them into an editable (sic?) prog, a la Open Office. I am not sure if Open Office allows you to open a PDF... I have 2.0 and it doesn't. You may have to reformat a tad, but my time is free and Acrobat isn't...
