I have a question

New Here ,

July 6, 2024.

 

I have one question regarding converting from PDF to MS Word.

Other words and sentences are converted well, but it is confirmed that consonant 'f' can not be converted from such as 'infinite'. Therefore, after converting by Adobe program, you can see that 'f' is missing. So you seem to find an error, 'ininite'.

 

If you check and find the above problems, you need to improve the technique of your program. 

I'm impressed by other functions like annotating and collecting annotations with lines, and so on.

 

Thanks, Namho Shin.

This is caused by the use of ligatures (such as "fi", or "ti"), which are single characters with two letters in them.

Some applications use an incorrect character encoding when doing that, or even an image, which causes the text to be broken when searching for it or exporting to another format. If the file is encoded correctly it should work fine.

The fault is with how the file was created, not with the export process.

It seems you're encountering an issue where the consonant 'f' is not being converted correctly when transforming a PDF document to MS Word using Adobe's conversion tool. This kind of problem can be due to several reasons, including font issues, encoding problems, or bugs in the conversion software.

Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:

  1. Check the Font:

    • Ensure that the font used in the original PDF is installed on your system.
    • Sometimes, PDFs use embedded fonts that may not be fully supported or converted correctly by the software.
  2. Update Adobe Software:

    • Make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader. Updates often include bug fixes and improvements.
  3. Use a Different Conversion Tool:

    • Try using another PDF to Word converter to see if the issue persists. Some popular alternatives include:
      • Smallpdf (online tool)
      • Nitro PDF to Word (software)
      • WPS PDF to Word (online and software)
  4. Check PDF for Errors:

    • Use a PDF validator or preflight tool (such as the one in Adobe Acrobat Pro) to check for any issues or errors in the PDF file that might be causing the conversion problem.
  5. Manual Correction:

    • If the issue is consistent and only affects a few specific characters, you might need to manually correct the converted text in Word. This is not ideal but could be a temporary solution.
  6. Contact Adobe Support:

    • If the problem persists, consider reaching out to Adobe support for assistance. They may be able to provide a more tailored solution or patch for the issue.

If you find that other functionalities of the Adobe program, like annotating and collecting annotations, are working well, it suggests that the software is generally performing correctly aside from this specific conversion issue. This is picked from reminiapkking.
