.pdf to Word
I converted pdf files to Word 2002, but the document appears in text boxes.
How do I get rid of the text boxes efficiently? I did CRTL+A then CTRL+Q, but then I lose the formatting, margins etc. Any solutions? Thanks. |

.pdf to Word
Welcome to the real world of OCR. PDF files are not intended to be
deconstructed in this way and the result is inevitably a hotch potch. You could try some better OCR software - such as Finereader, but there is no magic bullet that will make this work as you expect. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Judithall wrote: I converted pdf files to Word 2002, but the document appears in text boxes.

Judithall - As Graham has said convertors from PDF to Word are notoriously
suspect with the results. With respect to your text boxes, you could convert them to frames and then Remove the frames, leaving the text. Obviously you will have to be careful on how this convertion/removal leaves the text and possible borders but it could work.

From the description - they are already frames
 CTRL+A and CTRL+Q would not affect text boxes. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org DeanH wrote: Judithall - As Graham has said convertors from PDF to Word are notoriously suspect with the results.
