Making text smooth after converting from a PDF

Hello I'm very new to PhotoShop. Im running CS5 and I have a PDF that I'm copying and pasting onto a layer in PhotoShop. When I do this the text is really awful looking and I cant figure out how to smooth it out.
Here is a sample of what the image looks like.

Ok that is very helpful. Is there a suggested work-around I could try?
Thanks

Receiving a message in my word document after converting from a PDF to word. Please advise

After converting and dowloading that converted file from a Adobe PDF file to a word document I then open the word document to see a message stateing
"To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

Please proivde advise on how to sucessfully convert the Adobe PDF file to a word document.

Hi Buster,
The error message you were receiving occurs when you try to convert a dynamic PDF file created with Adobe LiveCycle Designer. This file is usually already a fillable form. Unfortunately there is no workaround available for converting documents like this within the ExportPDF service.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can be of further assistance.

Text lost after converting word to pdf

I'm trying to convert my my MS word document to a PDF on a mac. The document had been previously saved, I re-opened it and as I was trying to save it as a pdf, MS word crashed and I was forced to restart the computer.
I've turned the mac back on and now the document is blank! I have already checked for an autorecover file but it is not there. Please help!

Why can't I edit the Word doc I converted from a PDF?

Why can't I edit the Word doc I converted from a PDF?
Help! That is why I bought this software!

Hi linda007,
If you can't edit the file once it's converted to Word, it could be that the PDF was created from a scanned page, and then image text wasn't converted to searchable text. ExportPDF should perform Optical Character Recognition by default, but it can be disabled in Reader. Do you know whether OCR was disabled when you converted the page? If it wasn't, make sure that the correct language was selected for OCR. This option appears at the bottom of the ExportPDF panel in Reader, and in the Document Language (for Text Recognition) pop-up menu that appears after you select your file to convert in the ExportPDF online service.
If everything seems to have been set correctly, and you still can edit the text, please try triple-clicking to select the text in Word. Did that do the trick?
Best,
Sara

If you have Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: Choose "Run as administrator."
i can only click run as administrator from right clicking the shortcut on my desktop screen
If iTunes fails to install or repair, it might be necessary to remove components left from a previous installation of iTunes and then reinstall.

How to remove the automatically recognized hyperlinks in PDF after converting from Word?

Hi everyone!
When converting Word to PDF, texts with "http", "www", or email addresses with "@" are automatically hyperlinked.
The way Adobe Acrobat recognizes URLs is not by the text's underlying hyperlinks rather it is by the actual characters in the text. If the text contains "http" or "www" it recognizes it as a URL address, if it contains "@", it recognizes it as an email address.
I am aware that you could choose to disable the hyperlinks by going to Edit - Preferences - General - untick Create links from URLs. However, other users who have this ticked will still be able to click on the hyperlinks.
In Word, you can specify whether to add a hyperlink or not, or to direct the hyperlink to a different path. But in Adobe Acrobat, it automatically recognizes the hyperlink by its text. I know it is possible to manually add a hyperlink to a PDF, but is it possible to remove the automatically recognized hyperlinks?
Is there also some sort of ADM administrative template for this purpose?
Thanks.
.m.u.r.d.o.c.h.

I was thinking it could be possible with a document-level script that
removes all links, but then I saw that the link Acrobat adds are not real
link objects, so a script can't remove them. Therefore I think the answer is
no, you can't do it. The only way might be to use shorter addresses in order
to confuse Acrobat into thinking they're just plain text. For example, use "
google.com" instead of "http://www.google.com/". In my tests it remained as
plain text.

Distorting text/images in converting from pmd to pdf

My company uses PageMaker 7.0 to create our manuals and brochures and then converts them into pdf's. I've run into this problem before and found that if I didn't properly place or import an image (not copy and paste an image or text) that once converting it into a pdf only a portion of the image would be there or everyother 3rd letter would exist. Thought we had corrected it. The creator of this last document saw everything correctly but when another employee opened the pdf file through the network it was distorted and wrong. I opened the document and "saved as" in my documents and then everything seemed fine from my computer but then the creator opened the file on his computer and it was wrong. The link info on some of the images is wrong even though it was placed properly- the text was entered in Pagemaker but on the pdf is missing letters and causing odd spacing. I'm at a loss now on how to correct this. I hate to upgrade when pagemaker is more than sufficient for the basic manuals we do. I did notice that I was using Reader 9 wheras they still had 8 on their computers- already had them upgrade but didn't think this would be a real issue. Any ideas on the problem or how to correct would be greatly appreciated!!

Look in the application where the users are generating the PostScript.
Many of them have an option "print last page first", so this naturally
produces a backwards PDF.

Unnecessary text behind listbox after converting from a web-page

When I make convertation from htm-page containing listbox to pdf, there also appear text on the back of Listbox object. The strings are equal to Listbox values. If I create listbox manually, these strings not appear. How to fix this bug?

OK, I see now what you mean. It's been a while since I've web-captured an HTML form and I've never noticed that before. I don't think there's anything you can do to prevent it from happening though. You can change the color of the text so it's not visible, or remove it through redaction or other editing tools.

Why a docx converted from a PDF file did not convert 1+ page from the source file?

In trying to work with data from several PDF files, I subscribed to Adobes's online facility to convert source.pdf to output.docx. Output.docx is missing more than a page of data I need. I don't understand why this is happening.
I tried then to convert source.pdf to output.xls and the data in output.xls was repeating itself, for example:. This date value 04/22 was converted to:
04/2204/2204/2204/2204/22
Could any one here help me with these issues?

Hi rivalg,
Do you know how that PDF was created? The quality of the conversion depends largely on the quality of the PDF. It sounds as though you may be experiencing some font-related issues. As a test, you can try converting the file from within Adobe Reader with OCR disabled, as described here: How to disable Optical Character Recognition
Note, however, if the PDF was created from a scanned document, and doesn't contain selectable text, you won't be able to select that text in the converted Word document. (OCR converts scanned/image text to selectable/editiable text). Nonetheless, it's a good test.
As for the .xls output, it sounds as though the PDF isn't tagged to show the various cells in the table. Again, it depends on what created the PDF. Not all PDFs are created equally, alas.
Please try converting with OCR disabled, and see how that goes. If we need to, we can take it from there.
Best,
Sara

Word macros are disabled after converting to a PDF document.

We work with Word templates that contain macros.
After you convert a Word document into a PDF document, the macros of the attached template are disabled.
The conversion takes place via the Adobe Acrobat icons.
Used Products:
- Windows7
- With Office 2007 SP2
- Adobe Acrobat 9.3.3 Pro
The described problem only occurs in Word. Outlook, Excel and Power Point are not affected.
Thank you for your time and help
