    I am very sure that it will be a big mess. –  Nov 21 '14 at 03:30
  • I don't know how you plan to convert PDF to Word but however you do it, I agree with the previous comment. It will be a mess, I would imagine. You might have slightly better luck converting the LaTeX source to Word but be prepared to do an awful lot of manual reformatting post-conversion. – cfr Nov 21 '14 at 03:41
  • @cfr- I have adobe acrobat pro to convert pdf to word. Can you tell how to convert latex source to word? – perminger Nov 21 '14 at 07:46

    This is a duplicate of other questions about conversions to Word, there is no standard conversion method but most will lose some or all of the formatting or text or mathematics. – David Carlisle Nov 21 '14 at 08:34
  • I depends on the conversion path and software utilities you have, how complicated your document is, and if you are going to edit the documents afterwards. The free Nitro PDFtoWord does a good job, but the Word document will be a mess if you start editing it. The expensive Adobe Pro will convert a little better, but it will still be a mess after you start editing. – Sveinung Nov 21 '14 at 08:45
  • @HarishKumar I can confirm that. I converted my company's Annual Report 2013 this morning using Adobe Pro, and started the editing. It was a mess on all pages with graphs, pictures and tables. – Sveinung Nov 21 '14 at 10:35
