Converting from PDF to Word (or Frame, or anything)

[Craig Ede]

What sort of glyphs are being changed to squares? Arial Unicode is probably the most glyph savvy general use font. You might applying that font to your result.

Hi, guys... 

 

I was given three PDF files that I need to edit and put into Frame. Two of the PDfs converted fine,

 

The third PDF, when converted, alot of the text converts to squares. I assume it is because of a font that is not on my machine.

 

It doesn't matter if I convert to Word, RTF, or XML. In fact, when I copy a piece of text to clipboard and paste into Notepad, I still get the squares.

 

So...is there a way during conversion to map a particular font to another font? This is confidential stuff, so I can't let it out of my system.

 

Thanks 

 


You could try printing the file to the Acrobat printer instance as an image (Advanced print properties) and then using either Acrobat or OneNote to perform OCR.  OneNote does that automatically when you add a file to a notebook.
