GREAT IDEA & A SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM!

Thank You.

 

I tried a number of online conversion sites:

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF9OgDBwJx4pdf2doc.com

converted pretty well to .doc (not .rtf)

Tables are much better than in the txt file.

 

It had problems with quotes, dashes and a few things

but all in all it looks manageable.

 

Here are some screen shots

                                          PDF FILE                                                                                        CONVERTED to .doc

 

Some text in the tables was reduced from 12 pt to 5 point

but in Word when I enlarged it to 500% It seemed like the data was correct.

It just needs to be changed back to 12 pt again.

 

Your idea makes things a lot easier for me.

Any problems I find with corrupted data probably can be fixed

by just copying & pasting from the pdf to the doc file in most cases.

(eliminating that dreaded proofreading)

 

A really big advantage to converting to Word doc is the viewing of the text.

It is much clearer and sharper than I saw when viewing the txt file.

Of course I never thought about it till now but

I was viewing it in Editpad not Word.

 

I just now tried the txt file in Word

The line breaks are all messed up and it is not as easy

to read as the doc file.

 

I would have never imagined that!

 

Utube video on this was great on these 2 sites:

You can edit pdf, rotate, reorder, append pdfs

BUT IS ONLY FREE UNDER 100 PAGES

 

google drive

could not convert the CUSTOMIZATION GUIDE from pdf 2 doc

 

Thanks a million for your help

and so quickly too.

 

All my best,

Rick

To: What happens if you export it as an RTF, Word or HTML file?  One of those might get you past the specific problem(s) you’re encountering.

Hi

 

I am hoping to find a copy of the

XyWrite 4 - Customization Guide as a TEXT File.

 

I have the pdf version and have converted it to a text file with a number of programs.

 

All the text files have problems converting the Default & Function Call lists sections

of the Customization Guide.
