Converting PDF to an editble Microsoft Word

How does tagging affect the Word file?

I just converted a half dozen PDFs to Word docs. Most converted without a hitch. The last one crashes Acrobat and produced a blank Word document. It crashes while checking the tags, whatever they are. The document looks the same as the others, except that it is twice as large--80 pages.

I'm using OS X 10.4, Acrobat 7.0.1 and the latest version of Word. I've used DiskWarrior and repaired permissions. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Tagging is done to make the document accessible. So those who are sight impaired can use a screen reader to have a document read to them. I don't know if you can reduce the tags before converting, but you can certainly get to them and affect them. Go to view > Navigation Tabs > Tags. I have no idea what to tell you at this point. Maybe something in the Help file?
