| PDF2Office Personal FAQs |
Here's a small list of FAQs on PDF2Office Personal. As more of you ask questions, this section will keep growing. Do send us any queries you may have. |
Q-1) Does PDF2Office Personal convert PDF documents that have any kind of security enabled?
PDF2Office Personal converts PDF documents that have the standard security enabled. It also honors the security settings of
a PDF document.
Q-2)How well is the conversion from a PDF document to a word processing file?
The quality of the output are dependent on factors such as the Authoring Software type.
Examples of Authoring Software Types -
- Page Layout type
- Word Processing type
- Spreadsheet
- Database
- Graphics Manipulation
The output is the best when the authoring software was a word processing type.
Depending on the PDF writer (Acrobat, Mac OS X PDF creator etc...) the construct of the PDF data stored also differs. The Microsoft Word file format contains inherent limitations to formatting if the original PDF authoring software was a Page layout program.
Nonetheless, PDF2Office Personal attempts to perform the best conversion possible to Microsoft Word format.
Q-3) What image data doesn't get converted?
JBIG image data are not converted.
Q-4) What purpose do the Document Properties, Make Tables and Graphics options serve?
The purpose of these options are discussed below -
- Document Properties
Document Properties controls whether PDF2Office Personal should try to interpolate document margins, process columns, figure out sections, form headers/footers and footnotes.
- Make Tables
Make Tables controls whether PDF2Office Personal should form tables. Turning this option on - forms tables; turning it off means tables will not be formed.
- Graphics
Graphics controls whether PDF2Office Personal processes any graphics such as vector graphics or images at all. Marking this option makes PDF2Office Personal process graphics. Unmarking this option will result in no graphics being converted at all.
Q-5) My document is not converting properly!!
a. Sometimes breaking up the pages to convert and piecing them together later helps. For example in a 10 page document, if from the 6th
page onwards the conversion was not proper, convert pages 1 - 5 first. Then convert only the 6th page. Then 7th - 10th and
piece them together (this is a workaround but at times it works the best).
b. Another reason why the conversion may not be proper is when PDF2Office Personal tries to form columns and apply Page Margins. By turning off the Document Properties setting the conversion may differ completely.
c. If the conversion is still improper, please send it to us for investigation - we are constantly improving the quality of the conversion.
Q-6) I have a PDF document which I created by scanning some pages - PDF2Office Personal doesn't convert them properly!
PDF2Office is not an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software. If there were pages that were scanned and stored as PDF files, PDF2Office Personal will treat these scanned data as an image.
However, if you own Acrobat 5/6/7 Standard or Professional, there is a feature called OCR/Paper Capture. Open the PDF file in one of the above versions of Acrobat, then use the OCR/Paper Capture feature. An OCR will be performed. Then save the PDF file. Finally, use PDF2Office to convert/open the PDF document but make sure to unselect the "graphics" option. All of the text will appear properly formatted.
Q-7) I used up my trial version - how can I reset this?
Unfortunately you can't.
Q-8) What other limitations should I be aware of?
PDF2Office Personal doesn't support Type 3 embedded fonts nor does it support User Dictionaries embedded in PDF documents.
Q-9) How do I uninstall PDF2Office Personal?
The installer has an uninstall option. Run the installer and get to the screen that shows the Installation options. Choose "Uninstall/Remove" and click the uninstall button. |
