Transform a PDF text in a Word text can be a pain

Hello

I am a French translator, I translate American and English scientific articles for a newspaper French.

Transform a PDF text in a Word text can be a pain: diagrams are not kept in their form, for example, or columns (for the two-column text, which is very common in scientific publications) original, and I have to painfully reorganize or re - build diagrams and paragraphs. Any indication to reconnect with this difficulty? Thanks in advance!

I'm afraid that you may need to reduce your expecations. PDF files contains no information as the columns, not same paragraphs, so all that.  You can just hope the document Word contains items to help you get started, but not translators must where possible be expected to obtain the original copy of the file and work with it, must work with a PDF file that is much more useful than a printed page. If the journal takes the PDF presentations, they did a lot of work for you. Consider again pages in InDesign by placing for the graphics, adding new text stream and retyping the text.

  • How to convert a pdf attachment to a word document?

    I received evidence for an article that I wrote to make final corrections but when I open the file it is a set of symbols that I can't read.  Please help, I'm on a deadline.

    If you mean that you open a PDF with Adobe Reader and the document appears to use a symbol instead of something recognizable font... the file is damaged and you will need to get the sender to send again.

    If you mean you are trying to edit a pdf document by opening Word, you can do that.

    You can change (some) pdf documents if you have Adobe Acrobat (which, unlike Adobe Reader, is NOT free).  The only way you can change a pdf without Acrobat document is to use the optical recognition of characters (OCR) software.  If you have a scanner, this software might have been bundled with it.  Or you could see if the pdf to print and scan file then it would result in an editable document - once again, if there is an OCR software at your disposal.

    You can ask the sender to send the document as a word (or Rich Text Format (rtf), which can be opened by Word).

    Or you can simply print the pdf, annotate the old-fashioned (with a red pencil) way, take to Kinko's, Staples, or a similar office supply place and get it scanned to pdf and then send this return pdf.

  • I created a pdf form to a Word doc with the air police 9 pt formatted; the text on the pdf form is air 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - how can I reformat the police in the fields?

    I created a pdf form to a Word doc with the air police 9 pt formatted; the text on the pdf form is air 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - how can I reformat the police in the fields?

    Edit the form fields so that they use Helvetica by 9 points. Do not set the Arial font. Acrobat/Reader will use a private version of Arial as a substitute for Helvetica. If you specify Arial, it will integrate the entire police (sometimes several times), makes that increase the file size unnecessarily.

    I have a no scanable multi page PDF text. I want to finish with a multipage PDF text scanable,

    the only way I found to do it is via acrobat

    (1) open the PDF and save as on the other TIFF

    (2) combine TIFF in acrobat

    (3) text recog the newly combined file

    4) Save as PDF

    It works, but I is a tedious process of multi steps.

    I wonder if there is a way to automate this, so do not human intervention?

    Without human intervention?  Not with Acrobat.

  • How to make the PDF text field to be strikes do not copy/paste from previous text fields?

    Dear friends

    Helps to solve a problem related to the fields of PDF text, please

    Is there a way to make a PDF of the respondent, which ends of fields text to type own text not copy/paste of the previous text fields?

    Thank you very much!

    Copy the following code, used as key event custom field of your field, will prevent to enter more than one character at a time, which means that copy it text from an external source is not possible:

    if (event.change.length>1) event.rc=false;
    

    However, you can inform your users of this restriction, or they think that something is wrong with the file.

  • Alpha / Digital in a pdf text field

    How can I do to alpha alone or only numeric characters can be entered in a pdf text field?  I want the input size to be unlimited (I don't like the number of characters, as long as they are all either alpha or numeric.)  Any help would be appreciated.

    Use this as the custom for this field validation script:

    var alphaNumericPatt = / ^ [0 - 9a - zA - Z] * $/;
    Event.RC = alphaNumericPatt.test (event.value);

  • Form of PDF text field label

    Hello everyone.  I was wondering if there was a way to make a visible label in normal mode for a form of PDF text field.  I do my PDF form with a text box to fill in.  Well, I would like the name of the box appears when someone opens the PDF, not only if they go only in the view of the edit form.  I hope I'm making sense.  So far, the only thing I can think of is to do a button with the label above the text box to fill out or make the text to a drop-down list in the box area.  However, with a drop-down list box, I can not change how the text will display when it is typed in.  At the present time, although, when someone opens the PDF file, normally, the highlighted text to fill Boxing see the but not the labels with them even though I have names entered the name and ToolTip.

    Any suggestions?

    One thing you can do is set up a script to custom size for a text field that is:

    Custom format for text field script

    If (! event.value) event.value = event.target.name;

    This will display the name of the field in the field when the field is empty. The problem with this approach is that it is easily opposed using all built-in formatting that you can use (number, POSTAL code, etc.). You can always, but it takes more than script.

    I don't know anything about Macintosh or its files, but if it isn't
    a standard .txt file, simply read it in Word, and then do a backup with regard
    Save it as a .doc or .docx file.
