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

Hi Edith,

It sounds like you may be running into some font substitution. If the PDF wasn't created from a scanned document, you may have better luck by disabling OCR as disabled in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community

Please let us know how it goes.

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.


Best,

Sara

Hi Sara,

Yes, I really need you to look at the doc and help

me fix it or make better. This particular doc is the

reason why I signed up for the service.

Just tell me what you want me to do. Thank you!
