exportPDF help

Hi,

When exportPDF this file ( https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/c3d2e801-a9f2-49fc-84de-03d81e202cd0 ) to Word, the OCR tool works for the first 50 pages but leaves the rest as not editable image.

I've tried the "Convert the PDF to TIFF and back, and then rerun OCR" method but doesn't work either.

Could you help me convert all those 1200 and so PDF pages in editable word ?  

Thanks

Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

We're sorry for the delayed response and inconvenience caused. As per the description above, you are not getting editable Word file when converting the PDF file, Is that correct?

I have checked and replicated the issue at my end and found that the PDF file contains images and when you convert the PDF with the image, then the converted Word file will also have images which cannot be edited.

It is a document specific issue. You can refer to the Adobe article for more information Text is garbled in a converted file | Adobe Export PDF

It's a scanned PDF and you may have to contact the creator/owner of the PDF file.

Feel free to update this discussion for any further assistance.

Thanks,

Anand Sri.
