Default How can a single document have a single style with different fonts and sizes?

The whole point of PDF is that it is a graphical representation of the
document that is not intended to be edited. Any converter or OCR software
capable of handling the content and converting it to Word will be hit and

are dreaming. The best plan is usually to extract just the text and
rebuild it from scratch.


When you use a pdf editor, you can edit the text, it tells you what font,
font size was used for some text and other attributes. If an editor can do,
why can't a converter create some styles based on these attributes?

This is a book in electronic form. It's a huge manual task to style all the
headers, paragraphs, code snippets...etc.
