What is the best PDF to word OCR editor?

What is the best PDF to Word OCR editor for Mac?

"Best easy" could be a different answer for everyone.
I'd suggest starting with the basic editing capabilities in iPhoto.  It's already on your Mac.
If that doesn't meet your needs then you should probably consider Photoshop Elements, Graphic Converter or GIMP.
If you need even more "editing power" then consider Pixelmator.  Maybe even Aperture.  Aperture's basic editing capabilities are pretty powerful, and there are many great plugins that add more capabilities.
You don't see Adobe Photoshop in this list for a reason ... that is Adobe's recent change making all its professional apps available only by subscription (called the Adobe Creative Cloud).   Photoshop was always an expensive product, but the subscription fee makes it outrageously expensive - $240/year forever just for the one app.  And if you subscribe and use Adobe's cloud storage and then quit the plan you lose everything you may have saved in their cloud storage service.  "Buyer beware!"

    I agree with Grant. But to answer your question, that would be Word 2008. A quick search turns it up on sale at Amazon. You'll need to find it somewhere other than Microsoft itself, since MS stopped selling it when they released Word 2011.

  • What is the best pdf converter

    HI, I have downloaded some PDF files, but I would like to alter them. I was wondering what is the best way to go about it? Is there a decent App on the store? I am not looking to spend a lot, as I really do not create a lot of PDF's.

    I think PDF Converter Professional will allow you to do this. Not 100% sure though. Even so, its ridiculous someone in this day and age can't open a pdf. Its as good as an industry standard by now. Every computer should have the software to open pdfs, just download it.

    what is the best free pdf creator?

    It depends on what you need in a PDF. If you just need to convert documents to basic PDFs, just use the Print -> PDF facility built into Mac OS X. If you need more, it will help if you tell us what features or capabilities you need.

  • HT1338 ently started a  new   course and have to submit my work in word. What is the easiest PDF to word. or get word for mac?

    Hi, I am using Pages O9 with Endnote X4, I have recently started a new course and have to submit my work in word.
    What is the easiest way?  PDF to word or get word for mac?

    A document created in Pages must be translated during export into MS Word .doc format. As Pages is not an MS Word clone, it may allow you to create document content that upon export, is partially or wholly incompatible with Microsoft Word.
    Rather than wait for this potential, unpleasant surprise, you should consider using MS Word from Office for Mac 2011. The faculty may be using MS Office on Windows, or the Mac version. Paper submissions usually are time consuming and important for the course grade. Why gamble?

  • In Acrobat Professional 8, what is the best way to insert/combine multiple pdf's together in a large

    In Acrobat Professional 8, what is the best way to insert/combine multiple pdf's together in a large volume?
    We have 300 pdf reports and need to insert a 2 page cover page infront of each report. Not sure if Batch processing is best???
    Thanks for any tips.

    Probably each cover page is different too. I would probably just bite the bullet and do each individually. I would create the 2 cover pages in WORD or other word processor and print to cover.pdf. Then open a PDF and Pages>Insert Pages or the cover.pdf to the front of the open PDF and save as to the current PDF. Then repeat 299 times. Each time you would make the appropriate change to the DOC file and print a new cover.pdf file (you might want to turn off open in Acrobat for this processing in the printer properties to save time). Probably a good idea to keep a list of the files to check off what has been done (you can generate a list in DOS by Start>cmd, change the directory to your location [cd path], and do "dir >>list.txt". That will give you a list to use.). There may be an easier way, but by the time you get it figured out you might be done this way.

  • What's the best way to create and edit a PDF where the source document is also a PDF?

    Hi,
    To be specific, we are in the process of upgrading our A/P processes and we have received a user manual from the company we contracted for the upgrade. I've been tasked with customizing this manual for my company's specific processes (this is with the permission).
    What is the best course of action to accomplish this? I thought I should save a copy of the manual, and then modify each page as necessary. I will be adding and deleting text and graphics. I have never used Acrobat before, but consider myself a quick study.
    Any suggestions wil be greatly appreciated.

    When Acrobat saves to Word 97-2003 format, it actually writes a Rich Text Format file - the binary .DOC format used by Word is a closed standard. The .DOCX format is just XML, and neither export process cares if you have Office installed or not. In theory, OpenOffice can read both types of file; but there does tend to be some minor difference between how OO arranges things and how MS Word does it.
    The critical thing is that if the PDF file has structure tags (i.e. it's accessible), Acrobat can flow the content properly in the exported file and can identify things as headers, quotes, lists, tables, etc. If not, it has to guess what the reading order is based on where things are on the page, and it will often get confused by intricate layouts, spanned columns, etc. There are of course some things (such as Word Art) which don't survive the trip to PDF and back, and will show as an image.

  • What is the best program to use to create an interactive pdf?

    what is the best program to use to create an interactive pdf?

    So it sounds like you want to create a form. There are really two approaches, either Acrobat (AcroForm) or LiveCycle Designer (XFA form). LiveCycle Designer comes with Acrobat Pro, but it's an entirely separate application.
    For an AcroForm, you'd create the underlying document in a page layout program (e.g., InDesign), word processor, or some other software and convert to PDF. Then in Acrobat you;d add the interactive form fields and any scripting you want. You can also add other types of interactive elements such as links, bookmarks, multimedia, etc. You can add a button which when clicked initiates an email with the filled-in form attached of submits to a web server.
    For an XFA form, you'd normally create the entire document in LiveCycle Designer, particularly for a dynamic forms. There's a lot that PDF has to offer that's not available with XFA forms, but XFA forms can do things AcroForms can't. For a good discussion of the important differences between the two types of forms, see the following article: http://acrobatusers.com/blogs/thomp/so-what-difference-between-acroforms-and-xfa
    For a form that needs to be saved with Adobe Reader, the document needs to be Reader-enabled. When such a document is opened in Reader, it will unlock certain functionality that Reader does not have otherwise, such as commenting, signing digital signature fields, and most important saving. But when a document has been extended this way with Acrobat, there are licesning restrictions. In short, if you distribute an enabled document to more than 500 recipients, you are allowed to use data from no more than 500 forms that have been returned to you, including hard copied. If fewer than 500 recipients, there is no such limit.
