Import text from a pdf file and edit it

I need to go "back" in the way that the normal process would be. I have a PDF (a book) and I need to recreate it in InDesign CS5 (7.0.4) so that I can edit the text. It is no longer available to left the document that produced the pdf document as a first step. I must tell you that I'm working with Acrobat 8.1.5 in Win 7 machine.  That's what I thought would be the answer for me: first, I exported the PDF in Acrobat 8 as an html tag (export-> HTML-> HTML 4.01, CSS 1.0) file. The html file seemed to have all the formatting in it. Then, I opened the html doc in MS Word and saved as a file of rtl. Then I could put the text of the rtl file in my new InDesign document. The bad news is that, in all the many notes, italicized text are lost. Of course notes are not linked (with the actual note reference numbers), but I did not do. Does anyone have another technique, version, software or script to try? It is important to get the italics to convert the exported file and I can make corrections on the text in InDesign.

  • Layout in Arabic, Chinese and Russian. Export text from a PDF file

    I am exhibitor of long documents in Arabic, Chinese and Russian. The text was provided in PDF format when I copy and paste this in Indesign, it happens like question marks, boxes and other characters having nothing to do with the text I'm trying to layout.  I put the cast on the Arabic Myriad and Arabic dictionary still nothing that resembles Arabic or any other language. Same thing with the Chinese and Russian. Any suggestions on how to get the text from the PDF file where is the language. Appreciate help with this.  Thank you.

    Thanks for the caption, Ellis

    Thus, KK: you're in for a world of pain. The intials "WP" at the beginning of these policies means that the text is out of WordPerfect. Make presentations multilingual in WP, it was annoying, but possible. It was developed in the pre-Unicode world where every single method of complex script layout was a dirty hack. If you like dirty nerdy details, I can tell you how it worked, but that it is sufficient to say that attempt to harvest the non-latine-script text of: WP and it reuse for use in InDesign is just pure pain. WordPerfect-specific code pages were never really supported anywhere outside WP.

    That being said, I have a script around laying somewhere for the conversion of the WP-Cyrillic in Unicode. (In fact, I think it does Windows CP 1251, but that works as well.) But this is only one of the forty-five languages? And the Chinese has been pixelated? And PDF files were originally generated by Distiller 3? If you have no choice, it is time to leave. If you do not have the choice, I really hope that you charge hourly. My experience in this area (very large) is that it will cost three to five times more to extract the text as it would for a professional translation generate a new key of the text, and and then to have a second professional translation review text rekeyed looking for typos.

    Russian OCR is darn good these days, but Chinese OCR is random. I've never seen good Arabic OCR - doesn't mean it's not out there, but I couldn't help you find it.  But the chances that all 45 languages available reliable OCR, and the result of said OCRing will not have to be reviewed by someone who knows the language, are virtually nil.

  • Import text from a txt file.

    Hey guys,.

    I'm looking for a way to import text from a .txt file, but I'm totally lost. If someone could point me in the right direction would be great

    Hi Prails
    This script is basically what you asked:

    #target illustrator

    main #targetengine

    function copyText() {}

    text var file is File.openDialog ('select file');.

    If (! textFile.exists | app.documents.length == 0) {}

    return;

    };

    textFile.open ("r");

    var txtContent = textFile.read ();

    textFile.close ();

    var doc = app.activeDocument;

    var textItem = doc.textFrames.add ();

    textItem.contents = txtContent

    };

    copyText ();

    Basically what you need to do is to declare the text file, open, read and close it. Then, you create a new text element in the Illustrator document and write content once caught in the text element.

    You can continue to work with the variable 'textItem' in my example script if you want to set properties such as size, text color, position and so on. Also, if you wish, replace the first line of the function var textFile = new file ("" ~ / Desktop/Test.txt ' "); textFile var = File.openDialog ("select the file"); so the script opens a dialog box asks you the file you want to copy the content.

    Hope to be helped

    Best regards

  • How can I copy text from a pdf file in firefox?

    I no longer seem to highlight and copy the text from a pdf file, while in firefox 33.0, using adobe to view PDF files.

    How do I activate the selection tool, so I can do this?

    If there is text to be copied (in other words, if the pdf file is not a scanned image of the text), by default, you should see a pointer that will change when you hover over the text to an ibeam.

    If you see a hand tool, click on the double arrow towards the top right of the display screen to get a drop-down list and select "disable the hand tool.

  • How can copy text from a PDF file in the right order?

    I get texts translation of customers in PDF files. I need to copy some of the text of these files in Word, but the selection of Adobe jumps tool documents around, seemingly at random, sort of paragraphs and lines from different locations on a page are automatically selected together. The tables are particularly bad. If I try to copy an entire file, receives yet more random order. For example, all the titles of the document can be gathered in one place. I tried various PDF conversion software. They put all the PDF content in the areas of text, which is not suitable for my purposes. I want to just copy the PDF files in the exact order in which they appear on the page in text form that I can handle in Word. I'm now up to version 9.3.0 and there has been no improvement. Is there a solution to this problem?

    Hey, Marcoola.

    I agree that by copying and sticky from PDF to Word maunally are really difficult and tedious work. I have encounterd this problem before. Fortunately the problem can be solved perfectly now. I recommend AnyBizSoft PDF to Word Converter, which is totally free for months before. This conversion mode supports three app - batch, partial, right-click conversion and it even supports encrypted PDF conversion, previously you must have legal rights. And the conversion quality is superb, all the original text, page, images and hyperlinks will be preserved in an editable word document. It is more useful than those software online for free. It will be useful.

  • Improvement of the quality of the shots taken from a PDF file and inserted in Indesign

    I took a snapshot of a page on a PDF document. The PDF file has been created as a 'press '.  When I stuck in Indesign, the image is blurry.   I went to Adobe reader to change the settings in preferences > General to obtain the highest possible pixels (720 per inch) but it made no difference. When I pasted the snapshot in Indesign, it was very blurry.  It seems that Indesign did something for the image to make it fuzzy. Does anyone know how to fix this please?

    Hello

    You should not need to take a snapshot of the PDF file - it can be placed in indesign using the file > Place. If it's a multiple page PDF, hold the SHIFT key when you click on the spot and the import dialog appears. You can choose the page that you need and once the PDF file is placed you can crop or resize accordingly.

    Please keep in mind that Indesign shows a proxy for placed images low resolution. You can see a preview of resolution higher by changing your display settings to high quality screen.

  • Import data from the .tdms file and comparing with the measured .tdms file

    Greetings,
    I want to make an application that writes the values measured in a .tdms file.
    But I want to do a separate database in a .tdms file that contains the theoretical values.
    After the measurement, the application must compare the measured values with the theoretical.
    If the application needs to read that a cell of the .tdms file.
    Is this possible?

    Deleted file recovery can recover incomplete files, i.e. the part of these files may be missing.  Recover deleted files is much more reliable if recovery of a backup, instead of using recovery software.

    These things depend on the operating system and the file system.

    One thing, you can see: open one of these files damaged with a text editor, and then make sure that the constant % PDF is somewhere in the first 1024 bytes.

    The iPad does not support USB keys. There are some wireless flash drives that can be used, but not the classical records. I suggest you transfer files to a computer and their synchronization then back to the iPad via iTunes.
