Hi,
I'm trying to save some word document with text exported from pdf. (some comments I highlighted and exported). On the Word Window I changed the format and saved the document changing the option "save as word document" (this is because the original word document has no extension ".doc" not even ".txt"). By now nothing is wrong the text is just the way I want to, but when I close it and re-open it the text is full with linefeeds every two or three words. Is not useful this linefeeds when you have lots of pages in the document.
Is any way to fix this ??
Thanks.
Have you tried, in MS Word, selecting the Show All button on the Standard tool bar to show linefeeds in the Word file you have created? Delete the unwanted line feeds.
A content transfer from PDF to Word, in the manner you describe, does not transfer the format or underlying structure (if source PDF is a tagged PDF).
Basically, you are drop'n in text strings with something that says "word break" which, in Word is becoming your extraneous linefeeds.
The cleanup of layout and format has to be done in the new file (the *.doc/*.rtf, whatever).
An aside here: Note that, for the least amount of cleanup after exporting from PDF, the PDF needs to have been authored in the source file's application with no small measure of rigor to assure output of a "clean" tagged PDF. Well structured source files output well structured PDFs which, when exported (the full document) to, say MS Word, requires relatively easy/minor cleanup. Otherwise, don't be surprised if you must burn the midnight oil while using a lot of elbow grease.
Be well...
