Question

I tried to convert a PDF file into word and it gave me computer language. Help!

Answer 1

HI Aijan,
I am trying to convert a pedigree chart so I can put it in my family's genealogy book. I need to make some corrections on it. It was created on a MAC and I am on a PC. This may be part of the problem. I am on Windows 8 on a 1-year old Samsung computer laptop. I have Adobe Reader XI on it. It says that I can convert a PDF to an Excel or Word file for editing.
It looks like computer code to me.
Here is the first page of what I am copying:
Thanks for your help.
