HELP! How do I restore deleted doc/convert pdf to libre doc?

Wonderingwhyme · 27/11/2019 07:40

Work computer, we have to save files via libre (don’t have word) and then save as a pdf. I can’t convert the pdf to libre as we don’t pay for that service... I can’t even find the bin to retrieve it. Can anyone help?!

Don’t have an IT dept, small company, would rather not ask my boss just yet as I’m new! Google hasn’t come up with anything that works?

Try printing them choose pdf as the printer

There's quite a few free online PDF to doc/Odt converters, I use them. The formatting may be a bit squiffy once converted but that's usually pretty quick to fix.

Google 'online convert PDF to libre' lots come up.

Alternatively, depending how many pages, you could copy//paste into a new file, or use snipping tool to screen dump.

Hope that helps

Sending to printer just turns it to pdf, only option is fax, Microsoft print to off, COD document writer (don’t use) one note (again don’t have) or print to pdf annotate

I can’t even copy and paste it because it’s a pdf

If your recycling bin has been emptied then you can’t retrieve it.

Your only option is to look for an online pdf to word or open doc converter.

Your company must be pretty small. If your boss doesn’t want you downloading stuff he should provide the tools required for you to do your job.

You don't need to download anything other than the converted doc - there are lots of online converters so you wouldn't be downloading a programme if that's what you mean?
