Convert PDF to Word Doc?

Any good FREE apps to do this? (That work worth a crap?) Or should I just print out and scan into OCR?

I found a bunch of 'em that convert PDF to DOC directly, but none of 'em are free. Weird, cuz there are a plethora of free document to PDF converters.

Anyway, here are some of the PDF to DOC converters.

Not Acrobat Reader though. It'll let you save to TeXT, but not DOCuments.
