Nitro Pro’s export functionality allows you to convert PDF files into Rich Text Format documents (.RTF files) enabling you to easily and reliably re-purpose your content in WordPerfect, Open Office or another word processing application. You can export a range of pages, whole files, or whole collections of files in a single task.
NOTE: OCR (optical character recognition) will be automatically used on image-based (or scanned) PDF files to recognize and convert the text contained in the document.
How to convert PDF to Rich Text:
1. On the Home tab, in the Convert group, click To Other then To Rich Text
