How to Copy all the text blocks of a converted Word file (Converted PDF TO WORD)

We have scanned a English book quite a some time ago. Now we have converted it to a Word Document.
We try to copy the whole text and re-format it and save it as Word/PDF
The problem is we cannot copy the whole document since it has the text as various blocks.
It is very hard to select each box and put in a word document or in a notepad.
Could you please tell me how to select the whole document or whole blocks with single stretch or any easy way to do it?

"Scanned" -- That tells the story.
The output of all scanners is an image, a picture if you will, of the paper source.
Pictures of text are not the "text" itself and thus there is no "text" to copy (let alone paste).
For PDF files that hold the picture of text that is the output of a scanner you would want to open the PDF with Acrobat.
Now use Acrobat's OCR capability.
Suggestion: Use Acrobat's ClearScan. This is "friendlier" to doing touchups to characters / words.
Export this to Word (Use Acrobat Pro or one of Adobe's online subscription services - ExportPDF or PDF Pack).
DO expect to do cleanup in the Word file.
Whenever the source is a scanner's output picture you have a pig's ear & you cannot make a silk purse from that.
Be well...

  • When I converted a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How can I solve this problem?

    When I tried to convert a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How do I solve this problem?  I don't know how to change it from Read Only.

    Dear Sara
    Thank you very much for sending the converted file.  Yes, I am able to edit it - that will be very useful to me and I appreciate your help.
    Referring to your previous message when you said you'd converted via Acrobat and not Acrobat.com, I'm converting via Acrobat.com because that's the only option that is shown (how do I convert via Acrobat? - perhaps that would be more successful).  I'm using the Export PDF website, and the OCR is enabled to "Recognize text in English UK".  However, I've just tried converting a different LPA pdf form, this time for Health & Welfare https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/245571/LPA114_He alth_welfare_LPA.pdf and again I have the same problem as before.  I've altered it from "Read only" and thought I'd then be able to enter text, but "Drawing Tools" is shown in the pane and I'm unable to enter anything onto the form - everything appears to be in images.  Also, the lettering on the heading of' page 1 has become jumbled, with the word "Public" overlaying the word "Guardian."  Any suggestions as to what it is I'm doing wrong would be welcome - I don't like to be beaten!
    Regards,
    Judith.

  • How to copy all the footnotes ?

    Hello !
    How can I copy all my footnotes at once ?
    I have a thesis to write, and it would help for my bibliography
    And why when I export my Pages text to Word, and then when I copy it from that Word document back to Pages, it doesn't copy the footnotes ?
    Thank you for your help,
    GOOD DAY

    You haven't said what version of Pages you are using or what you have used to generate your footnotes.
    You could try making them all Endnotes and then copying from the end of the document.
    If that doesn't work, Export your .pages file to Word docx or .txt ands see what you can grab there.

  • How to copy all the data from old computer to new computer (server)

    Dear all,
    As I want to upgrade the server from old computer to a new one.
    I want to ask how and easy way to copy all of table, sequence, ......data from existing old computer to new computer.
    The old server is window 2000 Server with oracle 10g
    The new server may window 2003 Server with oracle 10g
    Thanks a lot
    Francis SZE

    As far as I can see you are copying from db10g for windows to another host on the same platform and same OS, so a simple cold backup taken from the source database can be restored at the target host. You must first make sure the configuration files and service be created prior to performing the database startup procedure at the target host. You may also as suggested, perform an rman duplication task

    This is how you retrieve all the text fields in the reort:
    ReportObjects reportObjects = (ITextObject) oReportClientDocument.getReportDefController().getReportObjectController().getReportObjectsByKind(ReportObjectKind.text);
    for(int i=0; i< reportObjects.size();i++)
    ITextObject textObject = (ITextObject)reportObjects.get(i);
    // use ReportObjectController to modify the text object.
    If you want to modify the contents of the text element, you can do it as follows:
    TextObject oTextObject = new TextObject();
    Paragraphs oParagraphs = new Paragraphs();
    Paragraph oParagraph = new Paragraph();
    ParagraphElements oParagraphElements = new ParagraphElements();
    ParagraphTextElement oParagraphTextElement = new ParagraphTextElement();
    oParagraphTextElement.setText("This is the new text field");
    oParagraphTextElement.setKind(ParagraphElementKind.text);
    oReportClientDocument.getReportDefController().getReportObjectController().modify(textObject, oTextObject);
    oReportClientDocument.save();

  • When I try copying some content from a webpage and paste it to quickoffice document or in e Mail. all the text copies but, no graphics/pictures. how to get them pasted?

    I tried copying some content from various websites (open content from plian HTML pages) and tried to paste it in Quickoffice document as well as in mai application. all the text got pasted properly however the content had some graphics and pictures in it that did not get pasted. So, I want to know if there is any way I can do the copy and paste from website including embedded graphics

    You will need to copy and paste the images separately from the text. Or you can try pasting into TextEdit. However, it should work if the editor can handle RTFD files as does TextEdit. You cannot copy images to a plain text document or editor.

  • I was in a Pages Doc and inadvertently had the Caps Lock on. How Can I change all the text I typed from Upper Case to Lower Case?

    I was in a Pages Doc and inadvertently had the Caps Lock on. How Can I change all the text I typed from Upper Case to Lower Case?

    Several protocols may be used.
    Here I describe two of them.
    (1) the one which I use : install and use the "Convert to Lowercase" service available in the free WordService
    (2) copy your text, paste in TextEdit and enter the Edit menu.
    I guess that you will recognize the items in your English menu.
    I apologize but I don't know the English items.

    How can I copy all the comments from my picture/s in fotostream to my picture/s in my library?

    Hi, first, you should prevent the iTunes library auto sync with iPhone: Launch iTunes > click Preferences... > click Devices. In the window, check the option 'Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically'. Next, connect your iPhone with your computer via the USB cable. Click the mini menu for iTunes on the very top left and click the option 'Show menu bar'. After then you can see iTunes File, Edit, View, Control, Store and Help menus on the ribbon. Click File > Devices > Transfer purchases from (your iPhone name). You can also access to the File menu by holding down Alt (Option on Mac), Shift and F keys. This is how to get your iPhone purcahsed song transferred to iTunes Library.
