Convert to word or rich text not right

converted a pdf to word and to rich text but did not copy right

Hi Larry,
I'm not sure what you mean by "did not copy right" but I'm guessing that you're seeing some odd characters and such in the converted file? (I also don't know what version of Acrobat you're using, so I don't have a lot to go on here). But, have you tried changing any of the conversion settings in Acrobat?
Choose File > Save As > Microsoft Word > Word Document.
Click the Settings button next to the conversion format.
Here, you can tell Acrobat to retain flowing text or page layout, include images, and run OCR (optical character recognition), if necessary. If the PDF already contains selectable text, you can try disabling OCR to see if that improves your conversion output.
The quality of the conversion will depend largely on the quality of the PDF file. Do you know how it was created? You can find out by choosing File > Properties and clicking the description tab.
Please write back with a few specifics about the problem and we can go from there.
Best,
Sara

  • Please create "on-the-fly change search engine" option ALSO for when we mark [word] in a text, then right-click, then choose "Search [engine x] for [word]"?

    In Firefox 34, you have changed the search bar.
    The new style is perfect for those who always starts by typing in, letter for letter, the search term.
    People such as myself, we almost never type in the search term,
    but instead we mark a [word] in a text, right-click this marked [word], then select "Search [engine x] for [word]".
    Speaking for myself, I have now a total of 36 search engine providers, but I usually only use 7 of those.
    I use "Wikipedia (English)" most of the time..
    - but then I will switch to e.g. "AniDB" and use that one for 1 hour..
    - or switch to "Google" and use that one for 30 minutes..
    - or switch to "Wikipedia (Norwegian)" and use that one for 2 hours..
    - or switch to "Wiktionary (English)" and use that one for 15 minutes..
    ..and then I will switch back to "Wikipedia (English)" again.
    The way the search bar was in Firefox 33 and earlier, I could very easily switch the default search engine.
    Just one click to open the drop-down menu, then choose one.
    In Firefox 34, I have to choose "Tools" -> "Options", the "Search" tab..
    - before I can THEN click to open the drop-down menu.
    4 clicks instead of 1, that's like 400% more work..!
    Also, the fact that I have to go into "Options".. make this..
    ..I don't know how to put it, it's a kind of psychological barrier that I have to overcome each time.
    I mean, before Firefox 34, I went to the "Options" window like maybe 4 times each YEAR,
    now, I have to go there 4 times each DAY..!
    I am not saying you should revert to the old style Search bar,
    as I feel that those you are typing search terms are indeed very happy for this new style..
    Instead, I think of 2 possible ways to create happiness also for us that do mark text and choose "Search.."
    1) An "on-the-fly change search engine" option ALSO for when we mark [word] in a text, then right-click, then choose "Search [engine x] for [word]".
    This could work as a cascading menu option, where it says..
    Search for [word] in -> [engine x]
    ..and where [engine x] was the current default engine, and all the other engines was listed underneath,
    just like the drop-down menu when you switch the default engine.
    Additionally, you could have an on / off checkbox in the "Options" "Search" tab, where you had this option:
    "Change default search engine when choosing another from the drop-down menu"
    THIS would actually be PERFECT.. It would be even much BETTER than in Firefox 33 and earlier..! :-)
    2) If there are things with the first option that don't work (something I've missed etc),
    then maybe you could have an on / off checkbox in the "Options" "Search" tab, where you had this option:
    "Use old-style search bar"
    This would be off by default, but when switched on, it would give us the old Firefox 33 style Search bar.

    Strongly recommend Context Search extension which will solve your problem

  • How do I edit a 100 page pdf document without converting to Word. I do not want to edit content. Simply want to save certain pages in seperate files...

    I have a large pdf file. I need to break it down into "x" numbers of pages.
    Must I convert to Word?
    I do not wish to edit the content, simply need certain pages in the pdf saved alone and not in master pdf.

  • How to convert a Word document to text or html in an ABAP program

    Hi,
    At my client's site, for the recruitment system, they have the word processing system set to RTF, instead of SAP Script. This means that all the correspondence is in Word format. A standard SAP program takes the word letter, loads word, does the mail merge with the applicant's info and then sends the document to a printer.
    The program name is RPAPRT05. The program creates a document proxy (interface I_OI_DOCUMENT_PROXY) and manipulates the document using the methods of the interface.
    Now what we want to do is to instead of sending the document to a printer, we want to email the document contents to the applicant. But I don't know how to get the content from the Word document into text or html format so that I can make an email from it.
    I know I can send an email with the word document as an attachment, but we'd prefer not to do that.
    I would appreciate any help very much.
    Thanks

    Ok, here's what I ended up doing:
    First of, in order to call FM 'CONVERT_RTF_TO_ITF' you need the RTF document in a table with line length 156. The document is returned from FM 'DP_CREATE_URL' in a table with line length 132. So first I convert the table:
        Transform data table from 132 character lines to
        256 character lines
          LOOP AT data_table INTO dataline.
            IF newrow = 'X'.
            Add row to new table
              APPEND INITIAL LINE TO xdatatab ASSIGNING .
              newrow = space.
            ENDIF.
          Convert the raw line of old table to characters
            ASSIGN dataline TO .
          Check line lengths to determine how to add the
          next line of old table
            newlinelen = STRLEN( newline ).
            ADD addspaces TO newlinelen.
            linepos = linemax - newlinelen.
            IF linepos > datalen.
            Enough space available in new table line for all of old table line
              newline+newlinelen = oldline.
              oldlinelen = STRLEN( oldline ).
              addspaces = datalen - oldlinelen.
              CONTINUE.
            ELSE.
            Fill up new table line
              newline+newlinelen(linepos) = oldline(linepos).
              ASSIGN newline TO .
              newrow = 'X'.
            Save the remainder of old table to the new table line
              IF linepos < datalen.
                oldlinelen = STRLEN( oldline ).
                addspaces = datalen - oldlinelen.
                CLEAR newline.
                newline = oldline+linepos.
              ELSE.
                CLEAR newline.
              ENDIF.
            ENDIF.
          ENDLOOP.
        Write the last line to the table
          IF newrow = 'X'.
            APPEND INITIAL LINE TO xdatatab ASSIGNING .
    Next I call FM 'CONVERT_RTF_TO_ITF' to get the document in SAPScript format:
        Convert the RTF format to SAPScript
          CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_RTF_TO_ITF'
            EXPORTING
              header            = dochead
              x_datatab         = xdatatab
              x_size            = xsize
            IMPORTING
              with_tab_e        = withtab
            TABLES
              itf_lines         = itf_table
            EXCEPTIONS
              invalid_tabletype = 1
              missing_size      = 2
              OTHERS            = 4.
    This returns the document still containing the mail merge fields which needs to be filled in:
          LOOP AT itf_table INTO itf_line.
            WHILE itf_line CS '«'.
              startpos = sy-fdpos + 1.
              IF itf_line CS '»'.
                tokenlength = sy-fdpos - startpos.
              ENDIF.
              token = itf_line+startpos(tokenlength).
              REPLACE '_' IN token WITH '-'.
              ASSIGN (token) TO .
              ENDIF.
              MODIFY itf_table FROM itf_line.
            ENDWHILE.
          ENDLOOP.
    And finally I use FM 'CONVERT_ITF_TO_ASCII' to convert the SAPScript to text. I set the line lengths to 60, since that's a good length to format emails to.
        Convert document to 60 char wide ascii document for emailing
          CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_ITF_TO_ASCII'
            EXPORTING
              formatwidth       = 60
            IMPORTING
              c_datatab         = asciidoctab
              x_size            = documentsize
            TABLES
              itf_lines         = itf_table
            EXCEPTIONS
              invalid_tabletype = 1
              OTHERS            = 2.
    And then the text document gets passed to FM 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1' as the email body.

  • Rich text not working...

    Under preferences in Mail, I have the message format set to Rich Text and under fonts and colours; I have the message font set to Verdana from the 'windows office compatible' fonts. However, not a single email client that I am sending messages to is interpreting this font. Outlook is simply displaying the text in Times New Roman, which looks awful. Why is this not working?
    Also, when I send a message with a 'windows compatible' attachment, outlook cuts off all of the text after the attachment and shows it as a HTML attachment???

    martinneep wrote:
    So it is intended only for viewing, not for message composition???
    Surely you can see my frustration?
    Yes. Sorry, but I wasn't very clear. The Message Font in Mail preferences is for displaying plain text messages and setting the "default" font. Rich text messages will be displayed in whatever font they were created with.
    The Fonts menu is useful for message composition. But in order to create a rich text message, you must change the font from the default, whatever that default happens to be. So, it is in your interests to make sure that the Message Font in Mail Preferences is not the font you want to use for creating new rich text messages.
    It is the policy of Apple Mail to prefer to send plain text messages whenever possible. Even if you select rich text, Apple Mail will only send plain text if it thinks you haven't used any rich text features. This is a design decision by Apple because they know how much trouble sending and receiving rich text messages really is.
    I send a message to a client, attach an excel spreadsheet... When I receive a reply, I see my quoted message; in Times New Roman, with the most important body of text missing, just because it was typed after the attachment. I basically sent a message that made no sense and that looked very unprofessional.
    You can't go by that. A message sent to a Windows user and returned as a quoted reply is likely to have no relation whatsoever to how it looked on your display or how it looked on your recipient's display when you sent it.
    Also, you seem to be encountering a well-known bug in Outlook. It sounds like what you actually sent was a plain text message with attachments. Outlook is known to handle such messages poorly. It is best in such situations to put your attachments at the end of the message and/or force a rich text message by selecting a non-default font. (That means a font other that what you have defined as the default message font).
    All of your content made it to the recipient, but any text after the attachment shows up as a text attachment. When dealing with users with this old version of Outlook, make sure all of your attachments are at the end of your message. As soon as Outlook sees the first attachment (which will be anything (image, attachment, styled text) that isn't plain text) it treats all following content as attachments.
    His response however (composed in Outlook) looked much more reputable. The message displayed in the same font that it was composed with, in navy blue (because it was a reply) and none of the text was missing!
    Yes. That is because Apple Mail is a far better mail program than Outlook. Apple Mail can properly read Outlook e-mail but Outlook has trouble with anything that wasn't built by Outlook.
    I just don't understand why Apple haven't given us the choice? We have the ability to send a message in rich text, and it works. But we have no way to select that formatting as a default without using some botched up signature. That makes no sense!
    E-mail is just very difficult to get right. The MIME mail standard is 20 years old. To this day, e-mail programs continue to have trouble with it. You are taking your frustrations out on Apple, but that is misdirected. I have been using Apple e-mail software since 1996. Apple has been steadily dumbing it down in order to allow its messages to show up properly in Outlook and other PC e-mail programs.
    When sending e-mail to old e-mail clients, try to use only plain text. Make sure your attachments are at the end of your message. If you want to try using rich text, make sure to select a non-default font. You can argue with me and complain about Apple all you want, but that is going to have zero effect in fixing Outlook 2003.

  • Rich text not displaying in color

    I have a text object that has the Paragraph Text Interpretation set to RTF Text.  However, when I run the report, all of the text displays as black instead of the colors the user defined.  It is supposed to display in red and yellow.  All other richtext formats such as bold, italics, etc. display properly.  I know the value of the richtext property is set properly because it displays inside a Visual Studio richtextbox properly.  I am only having issues with Crystal Reports.  Can someone explain how to get the colors to display for a richtext object?  I am using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010.   Thanks.

    i only mentioned a Text Object as that's where a report developer can quickly test what formatting is available in crystal reports.
    if you create a new Text Object then you can look at what formatting options are available and you will then know what options are available in RTF. it's pretty limited. in a text object you can change fonts, colours, add tabs, etc. but not really that much more.
    since there are lots of tags that won't work try to find an SAP Note that goes over what works and what doesn't. for example, i don't think that the stylesheet tag is support and this could be what's causing the issue. there may be more unsupported tags etc.
    for testing create a new test formula to put on your report and then format as RTF. try this syntax first...this does work in cr.
    "{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset0 Calibri;}}"+
    "{\colortbl ;\red255\green0\blue0;}"+
    "\viewkind4\uc1\pard\sa200\sl276\slmult1\cf1\lang9\f0\fs22 This is red.\cf0\par"+

  • Using OS X 10.6.8 on my IMac, I find that items on my message list no longer "fade" from dark to light when I click on them. I recently switched the font from Arial to Helvetica to permit me to select italics for any word. I am composing in rich text.

    Not sure why it would default to IMAP?  But any how, start the account anew, fill in the first page of info, but before clicking on the Create button, hold down the Option key until the Create button changes to read Continue.  Click continue, and proceed in a more manual process during which you can set the account type as POP.

  • How to convert a Word Document to SAP SCript standard text.

    Hi team,
    Does any one know how to convert a word document or text in Word format to standard text.
    So that we can use that standard text in Script output.
    This might be very useful if we need to convert a lot of text into standard text.

    Hi,
    Create the name of the standard text you want in SO10.
    When the editor is called up, select Text -> Upload and then browse for your file(s). Must be saved in RTF format in Word remember.

  • Urgent help needed in Rich Text Functionality in BSP (Bold, Italic, etc)

    The standard Appraisal BSP (HAP_DOCUMENT) displays the documents in a plain text box
    Scenario - Standard  BSP application HAP_DOCUMENT for appraisals provides users to input in plain text boxes (htmlb textedit)
                    However, there is requirement to support rich text (bold, italicised, underline etc) for these text boxes. Basically, there are 3 aspects to  this scenario
    1. Enable these plain textboxes with rich text editor
    2. Store the rich text contents of text  boxes in Database table
    3. Convert and display the data stored in db table as rich text.

    Note that the previous reference to tokens only applies if the field is a Multiline text field. Regular fields can't change their font or display based upon mapping data.

  • HTML email saving as Rich Text

    Hi,
    We are having an issue with Outlook 2013 on Exchange 2013, where we need to save emails on a regular basis and it loses embedded attachments.
    The emails when we attempt to save them are in html format – but when they save they auto change to Rich Text and as such they lose the attachment.
    We found another guy who has the same issue
    http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/392648-outlook-items-converting-to-rich-text
    and there seems to be no solution – drama is I really need one !!!!! HELP!
    We have so far: -
    Tried a ‘save as’ to outlook msg with and without uni code.
    When saved email is opened, it is in ‘Rich Text’ format
    Embedded attachments are missing.
    Also when responding to emails that are received from clients outside of the organisation, it converts the email to rich text and if sent, do not get past the exchange and remain in the ‘submission queue’ with “a storage transient failure” error for 3 days
    before bouncing back as undeliverable.
    TNEF was enabled which gave a whole lot of other errors so was disabled again
