Question

Am using ExportPDF. The file I converted was typed in a Scripts format. The converted file to .docx or .doc was Garbled and impossible to read. What can I do to fix it or make it better? Edith

The file is a long list of personal property and typed using the Scripts format. The document is a description of furniture and personal items in a one-line format and was saved in a .pdf format. After it was converted to .docx or .doc, ALL of the text was Scrambled and Impossible to read!!  What can I do to correct it or at least make it more legible?? Thanks. Edith

I'm happy to take a look at it, to see if I can get it to convert nicely with Acrobat. If you'd like me to do that, let me know and I'll send you a private message with my contact details.
