![]() Answer: There are applications on the market that will convert PDF to either RTF or word format. There are two types: those that state they make a identical looking copy -- but these use text boxes which are incompatible with DOORS. The other type use free flowing text and for all but the simplest PDF file require a great amount of post processing to provide a look alike copy of the original which can be imported into doors. Note: Older version of Adobe Acrobat converted to word using free flowing text. Later versions switched to using text boxes. The switch occurred after Adobe 6.0. | |

For a simple free test -- send a small pdf attachemt to: pdf2html@adobe.com
You will get back a html file which you can copy and paste into word. Edited: 9-Feb-2007 at 13:08 by ron lewis |

Are there any that will just get the text from a PDF without any headers and footers? I don't care if it looks like the original file, I just need the data so I can possibly do some processing on it to get the information I want.
Are there any programming references you know of to read a PDF and get the text from it? ------------------------- David Pechacek AAI Services Textron dpechacek@sc-aaicorp.com David.Pechacek@gmail.com |

Adobe reader will save to text.
Of course that is assuming it is not password protected or send pdf as attachment to pdf2txt@adobe.com. Edited: 29-Jul-2008 at 13:27 by ron lewis |

One of my users pointed me to an older piece of software called PDF Converter by ScanSoft. This did a better job of converting a PDF to a Word Doc than Acrobat did.
A tip though--Acrobat tends to put text into text boxes upon RTF conversion. When Acrobat is done, open the RTF in Word and press Control-A to select all ad then Control-Q. No more text boxes! ------------------------- Kevin Murphy http://www.baselinesinc.com |
