Convert scanned document into PDF

I have PDF Pack and am trying to convert a scanned document to PDF and ultimately to MS Word. How is this done?

Hi georges,
If the ultimate goal is a Word document, I would recommend against the additional step of converting to PDF first, if possible. What scanning software are you working with? Does it save in a format that Word can open?
If you don't have access to the scanning software, and saving to PDF is your only option, then you would use ExportPDF (part of Adobe PDF Pack) to convert the PDF file Word. (To convert the file to PDF, choose Create PDF on the menu bar when you're logged in to PDF Pack at https://cloud.acrobat.com.)
Best,
Sara

Converting scanned documents into Word documents

Is there a way to covert a scanned document in PDF format and convert it over to a Word document?

My problem when I do that is that I get a lot of symbols that I do not
recognize for example:

Hi,
We have a brand new PDF library for LabVIEW. Release date is in october. The library can create pdfs, with all kinds of text writing and picture stuff. It works stand alone, so there is no need for other programs. It should also be platform independend.
If your interested, drop me a mail. I can send you mail when it's released. Maybe we can give you a "beta test", if you send use your findings.
Regards,
Wiebe. (email is " my name " @ carya . nl )

Problem converting Word Documents into pdf

Hi Folks - and Happy New Year to You!
I'm using version Adobe 7.0.
I written an e-book and can't get the darn thing to convert into a pdf file. Sometimes it works -- sometimes it doesn't.
I suspect the problem is with my many embedded graphics. I have created Microsoft Powerpoint slides, and have cut and pasted them into my ebook as objects inserted between the paragraphs of text.
When converting from the "Convert to Adobe PDF" button in my Word Toolbar, it gets all the way through and finally has an error at the end saying: "an error occured while creating a temporary file; Word was unable to write some of the embedded objects due to insufficient memory or disk space"
I have Adobe set with a password to protect copying, and the Word file size is around 1Mb.
My computer is only a year old, and I have 23 Gb of free space.
I'm using Windows Professional XP and Word 2002
Please reply asap or email me on [email address deleted by host]
You Have My Best Regards
Dave

Hi,
I have tried to get this right for a few days now Finally found some info at
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=330729
See point 2 below.
Creating PDF files by using PDFMaker
You can convert Word files from within either Word or Acrobat. Because both applications use PDFMaker, you can achieve the same results in either application.
To create a PDF file from within Word:
1. Exit from all applications except Word to minimize processing time. To further minimize processing time, complete the following:
-- If the document contains several fonts, either reduce the number of fonts or replace TrueType fonts with Type 1 fonts.
-- If the document contains large or complex tables, reduce the number of columns and rows.
2. If the document contains hyperlinks, make sure that the page margins are .8 inch or larger.
3. To add features such as font embedding and compression to your PDF file, choose Adobe PDF > Change Conversion Settings. (To create customized job options settings with these features, edit the conversion settings. For more information, see "Editing the PDFMaker Conversion Settings" in the Acrobat Help.)
Isn't it totally obvious to anyone that the margins have to be at least 0.8 inches for hyperlinks to work.....
I made a new page format slightly larger and increased the margins. After making the PDF file i trimmed it in Adobe. Worked like a dream...

Problem in converting Word Document into PDF after inserting EMF file

Hi
I have VB 6.0 program, which automatically inserts an EMF file in to MS-Word and converts it in to Post Script file and finally to PDF.
But the Size of the generated PDF file is too large i.e., 8MB
If am inserting an .PNG file in MS-Word and conveting it in to Post Script and finally in to PDF, the size of PDF file is somewhere around 330KB.
I am using Acrobat Distiller 6.0 for this conversion
Can any one let me how I can reduce the file size of PDF, if I insert an EMF file.
Thanks in Advance
Vijay Kumar

Saying a WMF file does not mean much. It could be a bitmap with 2400dpi or a vector graphic. WMF and EMF are wrappers that can include both. You may be best to open the WMF in PhotoShop or Illustrator and see if you can get a consistent size, possibly doing a copy and paste to WORD.

Convert scan document to adobe acrobat

how do you covert a scanned document file to adobe acrobat

Hi Anthony
If you already have a scanned image, choose File > Create > PDF from File, and select the JPEG or other file you want to convert.
Choose View > Tools > Text Recognition.
Click the 'In This File' option in the Text Recognition panel that opens at the right.
Designate desired pages and click OK. Acrobat automatically applies OCR to the scanned document or image.
Use the OCR Suspects tool to search for and fix any misspellings.

Acrobat 11 Standard Office 2010 Pro Convert Word documents to PDF not working

Adobe community,
I can create PDF's inside Word 2010 using the Acrobat Add-in but right clicking a Word document or dragging a Word document into Adobe Acrobat 11 Standard does not work. I have updated both Acrobat 11 and Office 2010 with the latest updates available. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi markl16215442,
In order to convert word document to PDF by right-clicking or dragging the file, you must have Adobe PDF printer installed.
For Windows, please check that Adobe PDF is set as default printer under "Start > Devices and Printers"
While for MAC, Adobe PDF printer option is no more available and as it was removed with some changes in Apple's policy regarding virtual printers.
So, check with your OS and then let me know.
Regards,
Anubha

Convert XML file into PDF file

<b>XML to PDF</b>i want to Convert XML file into PDF file pl. any one can suggests API's

Hi,
There are many ways to convert XML files to PDFs through java.
One of the easiest way is by using iText.jar which have classes for conversion.
The following are the required steps
1. Create a document object for the XML file ( Using DOM or SAX parser).
2. Parse the xml document and extract the content to write in PDF.
3.Create a itext Document object.
4.Get a PdfWriter instance for the PDF file.
5.Write in the pdf the extracted text using the document object.
Refer <a href="http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/examples/com/lowagie/examples/general/HelloWorld.java">here</a> for a simple pdf writer example.
Refer <a href="http://java.sun.com/developer/codesamples/xml.html">here</a> for examples of XML Parsers.
