Hi,
I got a solution for this. It seems my PC doesn't have "Times New Roman Dual Greek" font. I need to install it Thanks very Much Ponnurangam "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ... If you like you could send me a copy of the pdf, via the link on my web site, with confirmation of where the problem occurs and I'll try some alternatives. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Ponnurangam wrote: Hi, Setting the language to Greek while converting using Abbyy Finereader didn't work Thanks Ponnurangam "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ... Just a thought - try setting the Windows language to Greek whilst converting. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Ponnurangam wrote: Hi, First, Thanks very much for all your replies Abbyy Finereader also does the same replacement of characters as I mentioned earlier. Any other ideas. Also, I couldn't find any OCR Software for Greek Language. Do you know any one of them Thanks Ponnurangam "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ... Abbyy Finereader works reasonably well and they now have a separate module available dedicated to reading PDF files. See if the demo works on your file. http://www.abbyy.com/pdftransformer/ -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Ponnurangam wrote: I tried Paste Special. It didn't work.Can you suggest some OCR software that I can use to scan text from an image. Thanks Ponnurangam "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ... Try edit paste special rather than a simple paste, but my guess is that you may not get any further with this. PDF is essentially a graphics format and the conversion of graphics formats back to text is somewhat hit & miss and unlike OCR software where at least you can train the software to use particular characters in some circumstances, here you don't have that option. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Ponnurangam wrote: I am copying the text from PDF to clipboard and then pasting to the word.

TNR Unicode does contain the Basic Greek character subset, which should
include most of the needed glyphs (including all the ones you mention). -- Suzanne S.
