Tagged PDF. From ISO 32000-1 (the ISO Standard for PDF). 14.8 Tagged PDF 14.8.1 General Tagged PDF (PDF 1.4) is a stylized use of PDF that builds on the logical structure framework described in 14.7, “Logical Structure.” It defines a set of standard structure types and attributes that allow page content (text, graphics, and images) to be extracted and reused for other purposes. A tagged PDF document is one that conforms to the rules described in this sub-clause. A conforming writer is not required to produce tagged PDF documents; however, if it does, it shall conform to these rules. NOTE 1 It is intended for use by tools that perform the following types of operations: •  Simple extraction of text and graphics for pasting into other applications •  Automatic reflow of text and associated graphics to fit a page of a different size than was assumed for the original layout •  Processing text for such purposes as searching, indexing, and spell-checking •  Conversion to other common file formats (such as HTML, XML, and RTF) with document structure and basic styling information preserved •  Making content accessible to users with visual impairments (see 14.9, “Accessibility Support”) A tagged PDF document shall conform to the following rules: •  Page content (14.8.2, “Tagged PDF and Page Content”). Tagged PDF defines a set of rules for representing text in the page content so that characters, words, and text order can be determined reliably. All text shall be represented in a form that can be converted to Unicode. Word breaks shall be represented explicitly. Actual content shall be distinguished from artifacts of layout and pagination. Content shall be given in an order related to its appearance on the page, as determined by the conforming writer. •  A basic layout model (14.8.3, “Basic Layout Model”). A set of rules for describing the arrangement of structure elements on the page. •  Structure types (14.8.4, “Standard Structure Types”). A set of standard structure types define the meaning of structure elements, such as paragraphs, headings, articles, and tables. •  Structure attributes (14.8.5, “Standard Structure Attributes”). Standard structure attributes preserve styling information used by the conforming writer in laying out content on the page. A Tagged PDF document shall also contain a mark information dictionary (see Table 321) with a value of true for the Marked entry. NOTE 2 The types and attributes defined for Tagged PDF are intended to provide a set of standard fallback roles and minimum guaranteed attributes to enable conforming readers to perform operations such as those mentioned previously. Conforming writers are free to define additional structure types as long as they also provide a role mapping to the nearest equivalent standard types, as described in 14.7.3, “Structure Types.” Likewise, conforming writers can define additional structure attributes using any of the available extension mechanisms. Section 14 of ISO 32000-1 expands on each of the rules to provide a detailed discussion. Something of an overview. PDF page content is painted to the page. An Adobe document ("AcrobatWorkshop_final.pdf") provides useful background. The content is often not placed in the PDF in a natural read order. Body text may be painted/drawn first. Then the Header followed by the Footer. Body text is often not painted/drawn in the human expected order. A nicely detailed discussion of this is available here: http://www.appligent.com/talkingpdf-eachpdfpageisapainting  (Each PDF Page is a Painting - Why PDF "reading order" is irrelevant to accessibility) So, we have content painted to the PDF page. As-is that's not any help for repurpose of content out to another file format or for Accessibility. This is where Logical Structure (Section 14.7, ISO 32000-1) comes into play. 14.7.1 General PDF’s logical structure facilities (PDF 1.3) shall provide a mechanism for incorporating structural information about a document’s content into a PDF file. Such information may include the organization of the document into chapters and sections or the identification of special elements such as figures, tables, and footnotes. The logical structure facilities shall be extensible, allowing conforming writers to choose what structural information to include and how to represent it, while enabling conforming readers to navigate a file without knowing the producer’s structural conventions. PDF logical structure shares basic features with standard document markup languages such as HTML, SGML, and XML. A document’s logical structure shall be expressed as a hierarchy of structure elements, each represented by a dictionary object. Like their counterparts in other markup languages, PDF structure elements may have content and attributes. In PDF, rendered document content takes over the role occupied by text in HTML, SGML, and XML. A PDF document’s logical structure shall be stored separately from its visible content, with pointers from each to the other. This separation allows the ordering and nesting of logical elements to be entirely independent of the order and location of graphics objects on the document’s pages. 14.7.2 Structure Hierarchy The logical structure of a document shall be described by a hierarchy of objects called the structure hierarchy or structure tree. But, how to make use of Logical Strucuture? That would be "Tagged PDF". Now, in regards of content export to Excel. Provided the PDF page content is, in fact, sourced from an authoring application that supports insert of a table with designation of table header row(s) along with good Tag management of the PDF output then we can get some good stuff exported. A Tagged PDF having a properly tagged Table element and requisite child elements provides the need "guidance" of where the content is to go as it lands in Excel. If the PDF is not Tagged then Acrobat makes an on-the-fly best-guess as to what might be adequate tagging. This is fine for simple PDF document content. However, the "simple" threshold is past rather quickly. Consequently the "best-guess" can often fail to be even kinda-sort of-ok. With that said what can often provide an acceptable export of a table's content in a PDF into Excel is to select the content and right click for the context menu. Select Copy As Table, Save As Table, or Open Table in Spreadsheet. You may have to try each in turn to see which provides something adequate for your needs.

Phillip, Sorry to disappoint but, "someone from adobe has admitted its their fault." does not apply. I'm not "someone from adobe." The Forum's Admin(s) put an "employee" tag on those who are from Adobe. An observation for Mac users. A third party software house (Adobe in this case) cannot "hook" to a primary software house OS/Applications (Apple or Microsoft) unless both software houses agree to share the inner workings of the code. The lack of some feature(s) merely reflects that whatever agreement is present has limits. The only effective way end-users (me - you) have for trying to obtain a "feature" is to submit feature requests. (Note that the lack of a "feature" is not a "bug". A software "bug" means something very specific to software developers so a feature request sent as a bug report ends up in the circular file.) To obtain a feature that involves OS / third-party collaboration feature requests really need to be sent to all involved (in this case both Apple and Adobe). Even then it is not a sure thing. It is what it is,eh? Be well... ... View more

Run the Action. Word files will be in the "Save To" folder you designated. Disclaimer: Acrobat's export of PDF content to a Word file supports high fidelity migration of format/layout when the source PDF(s) are well-formed Tagged PDF. Poorly tagged PDF content will be reflected in the exported content present in the Word file. Not tagged PDF content will be processed programmatically by Acrobat to "tag" the content. This has improved very much as new Acrobat versions have been released. However, a programmatic "best-estimate" is often not so good for content having more complex layout and format. (Not just "marketing hype" — I've done trials with these use-cases.) Note: Actions may be Exported and Imported via the "Edit Actions" dialog. This lets you share useful Actions with others.

When creating a PDF via the Adobe Printer you get a PDF with no "interactivity" (Bookmarks, Annotations (Links, Comments, etc.). If a text string fits a specific pattern Adobe Reader / Acrobat will make a "link-on-the-fly". "...the links you see in Acrobat and Reader are not part of the file, they're dynamically created by the application. A document can't influence that preference, but the pattern matching string specifically looks for the (protocol)://(address) combination for web links and (string)@(string) for emails. If you want a URL to look like a URL but not trigger the pattern match, insert a visually-nonprinting character (such as a "hair space") between the two forward slashes. With email addresses, insert one either side of the ampersand." ~ Dave Merchant at http://forums.adobe.com/message/3571286#3571286 Be well... ... View more

"This is a 76-page document, and the users will expect to see the image looking like the scanned original." That locks it down. The only way to satisfy this is Searchable Image (Exact). The scanned image serves as the an objective replacement for the source hardcopy. The OCR output exists to facilitate search/find. At the end of the day there is no practical means of editing OCR's Hidden Text layer with it in the PDF. That's not to say you cannot work at it and get results. But, the operative word is practical. In that context you may want to look over a reply I made here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/950209?tstart=0   To increase accuracy of OCR recognition: Yes, there are dedicated OCR applications (desktop or server). Having used several of each as well as Acrobat's OCR I've learned that also significant is the scanner and the quality of the hardcopy source. Regarding the remainder of your post above. Ok, I cannot replicate what you describe with a PDF I've been using. It is a scanned image of a single page of textual content. After ClearScan I can export to Word (&, of course, have some cleanup required). I can use the TouchUp Text / Edit Document Text tool to select all the PDF page's content (the ClearScan output). Changed the font to TimesNewRoman, saved, and exported to Word. The content in Word needed cleanup. Next, I selected various words and typed in a replacement word. After a Save I Exported to Word. The changed words carried through. re: Q1 - What you describe is symptomatic of the Hidden text output of Searchable Image / Searchable Image (Exact) and not ClearScan. So, I'm perplexed. re: Q2 - An advantage of ClearScan is being able to edit a text string to correct it. So, sure, why not correct? With that said, it can be a tedious and labor intensive activity. As well, typos are possible during correction which begs the question "Who bells the cat?"  8^)  re: Q3 - If corrections to the ClearScan output meets your needs an export to Word may not be needed. However, sometimes ClearScan cannot recognize the image of a character and leaves it as a bitmapped image. So, to correct you'd have to get into a word processor. re: Q4 - Goes back to Q3.

Start with a fresh scan of the textual content on the hardcopy and bring it into PDF. Make a working copy of the PDF. Use Acrobat's ClearScan. Make a working copy of this changed PDF. Using the Edit Document Text tool, select textual content on a PDF page. Right click for the context menu. Select "Properties". In the dialog you will observe the font (Fd####) that ClearScan used to replace the image of characters it recognized. Use the drop-down menu associated with "Font" to select an available system font. The text you'd selected previously changes to this new font. Tick the selection "Embed". Close the dialog. Repeat for each page of the PDF. n.b., I'd do Save As often & park an incrementing prefix or suffix to the PDF being processed. Any "oops" & I'd be able to step back to previously saved work rather than lose it all. Once completed use Save As > Microsoft Word > Word Document or Word 97-2003 Document. And/Or Save As > More Options > Rich Text Format Now, use MS Word to cleanup the content's grammar, spelling, layout, format, & other blivets. Once in a "smile, be happy" state of mind with the Word file use PDFMaker ("Acrobat" on the ribbon) to Create PDF. Do look over PDFMaker's configuration to assure that it is set to met your needs (selected Distiller job option, etc.) Create the PDF. I have found that, for even moderately long hardcopy of textual content, there is greater efficacy achieved by simply rekeying into a new file with a follow up grammar/spell/look-it-over check. Of course this pre-supposes one is a somewhat competent "touch typist" (a phrase that dates me, eh?). Be well... ... View more
