Wrongly transformed the sentences of left and right paragraphs into one sentence in PDF files to txt files by Acrobat 9 Pro

I found that the when transforming PDF files into TXT files by Acrobat 9 Pro, the Acrobat will wrongly transform the sentences of the left hand side and right hand side paragraphs into one sentence, while the correct format should be the later sentence follows the former sentence in each paragraph.
An example PDF is : http://cardiovascres.oxfordjournals.org/content/cardiovascres/45/1/200.full.pdf
Is there any solution for this problem? Or should I use other software (or other version of Acrobat) to solve the problem? Thank you.

PDF is not a word processor file format.
It has no "styles", "format", "layout", "columns", "rows", "tables", etc.
PDF writers paint the content to the canvas that is the PDF page.
Depending on what was used and how it operates this painting can be like a paint by numbers affair.
ISO 32000-1:2008, the ISO standard for PDF explains it all.
So, when exporting to text from your PDF the progression is left to right, top down.
Remember, PDF has no awareness of "columns". What we see is our construct not PDF's.
What you and I see as two columns with a specific read order is our imposition.
What is on the PDF page is simply a line of text characters.
That is how it is with all versions of Acrobat. Applications can only make use of what the file format supports eh.
What to do?
Master content in a logical hierarchy in the authoring file.
Always use the build-in Headings for Headings.
Use the built-in "table" feature.
Use a PDF writer process that is compliant with the ISO standard and that supports proper output of Tagged PDF.
A well-formed Tagged PDF will export properly.
Two key design considerations for Tagged PDF are:
(1) Support Accessible PDF
(2) Support Export of PDF page content.
What constitutes a "well-formed tagged PDF?"
This would be a PDF that is ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1 compliant.
Be well...

Hi Anubha,
Same problem occurred when converted into word file.
I convert the PDF into txt as I need to use the txt format for running some analyses (and I have thousands of such PDF).
However, I found the same problem even if I use the original PDF file, so I am seeking the solution.
Actually the PDF can be converted to any format if the problem can be solved! Thank you.

I am writing a book and need to have the margins alternating left and right pages, so that there is sufficient margin for the binding. I have tried different inside and outside margins, the same inside and outside margins, facing pages, changing the master, and I cannot get the margins to alternate at print time. The larger margin is always on the left. Can anyone please help me on this, as I have spent hours and lots of ink.

Set up as facing pages with a larger inside margin.

How to check the resolution of a pdf file using Acrobat 9 pro?

How to check the resolution of a pdf file using Acrobat 9 pro?

PDF files don't have one resolution, but may have none or many different resolutions, one per image. You can check the maximum/minimum resoluion with preflight in Acrobat Pro, but not in Adobe Reader.

My ipod's music quality is inferior. It doesnt have the surround sound/ left and right audio channel unlike my brothers ipod? is there a problem with the chip?

I have an ipod touch 4g (8GB), I got this about 2.5 months ago, the same time my brother get his. My problem is that I noticed that audio quality is better on his device than mine. I have been listening to music and had different music devices before (non-Apple product and mobile phone) and the quality of music is better when I used to listen to those devices as well as my brother's ipod touch. Im referring to the left and right audio channels. Im not so good about the technical stuff but the best explanation I can give you is in a music or a movie, there's an effect wherein you can here a sound only at the left ear phone/speaker that you cant hear at the right earphone/speaker. I mean for example in a song, a guitar intro can be heared only at the left
ear while the background music plays on the other ear. Or when theres and echo effect on the song that alternates sound on the left and right ear. I hope youre getting what Im trying to say. Im bothered that my ipod is fake or has an internal problem on the chips or something because I didnt bought this at an Apple Center/Mac Center. I bought it on a retailer. I am not able to visit any store or Genius Bar or contact an apple specialist through phone because of my work schedule and work load. I have contacted the retailer before when I tried to return it for replacement or repair but he told me that it is under Apple's warranty, not theirs. I do hope that I can get a help from you because I want to really enjoy my device. Thank you and Im looking forward for the responce/assistance form you.

I suggest you don't apply pressure to the screen - it's a Touch - you touch the screen not push it.

Extending width all the way to left and right?

If you look into the website :
http://mcec.my/
You scroll down and under the sponsor section where you see a pink background, how do you extend the background all the way across the browser screen when the page load?
Because now the left and right side is white and looks weird...
Thanks for any help in advance

The reason that the pink area does not stretch accross the page is because it is constrained by the outer container div.
Your site structure is a typical method of centering a website in the browser. Everything gets placed in a container which is give a width and a left and right margin of auto.
The way to change it is to get that section of the page out of the container. Place it under the rest of the page in it's own container and then add the pink background to that. You might then need to put the content of that section in another div and use the same technique to centre it.
You can see that with the top section of the page, the effect is achieved with a graphic. You could to the same again with a pink graphic and then try to set that in the CSS. However, this won't be easy if the content of your pages changes.

New LG Monitor Screen Image Keeps Shifting a few pixels left and right / goes into power save mode

I just purchased a new LG Computer Monitor from Best Buy today and hooked it up to my PowerMac computer. Shortly after setting it up, the entire screen image started sporadically shifting left and right a few pixels. And then, at seemingly random times, it'll shut itself down, going into power save mode. I checked the cables to make sure they were secure and they seem to be. Could there be some sort of interference that's causing it? Or would it be the graphics card? My computer is only a couple years old. Please help!

Do you have another computer you can plug the monitor into to test?

Drop down menus go to left and right, not just one direction.

My dropdown menus work fine but when I scroll down to use an option one thing will go to the left and another thing ( in the same drop down ) to the right. Anyone know how to make them ALL go in one direction to the right?

Editing a PDF file with Acrobat XI pro... some "text" is not selectable and vanishes upon saving

Hi folks.
I've googled around for a few hours, but I'm completely stumped with this one.
I'm trying to edit a .pdf file that was generated from Word 2007. Mostly it edits fine, but for reason some of what appears to be text isn't selectable with the text and image editor... in fact it doesn't even have a bounding box around it. When I move around the document or save it in acrobat pro, the "text" then vanishes.
I include a dropbox link to a partial screenshot image which shows what I'm talking about. You can see that the italic bold A doesn't have a box around it in some cases.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/42i8xms78lvw12b/Screenshot%202014-02-07%2011.19.07.png
Can anybody kindly shed some light on what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!

Hi Bill. Thanks for replying.
Unfortunately, I don't have the option of using the original DOCX file. The author lost it, leaving only the pdf around
I'm using AA XI 11.0.06. Upgraded this morning. That's running on Windows 7 Ultimate 64.
I get the boundary boxes by clicking on the 'edit text and images' tool, and they appear. Or don't in this case
I only need to change a few characters in the file. However, even just opening up the file in AA and then saving, the "A = " "text" gets deleted.
Could it perhaps be something to do with embedded or missing maths fonts on my machine? I mean, I don't get any warnings, just can't do anything with the A and AB italic bold text.
Thanks!

What is the recommended tool to convert all of my email and their attachments in one stroke to pdf files in the same folder structure that emails are stored in

I have thousands of emails creatively stored in a host of sub folders. I would like to see if anyone knows of a tool that I can point at TB and convert all of my files into a similar file structure with the attachments embedded into the emails. I don't want much I realize. I bet there is a tool out there that will get me close.

I don't know of a way to produce pdfs in a simple way (probably with a pdf printer driver), but if you export or save messages as eml files, the attachments are embedded in the emls, and emls can be read by most email programs. Besides saving through Ctrl-S, exporting complex folders to eml format is probably best done with [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/ ImportExportTools].

I get noise when I combine left and right from the headphone output.

I need to combine the left and right channels of a Macbook Pro at the output connector. When I build the cable to do this, there is significant static noise introduced. If I break the short between left and right, the noise goes away.
(I'm doing this to put both channels of audio into a single side of a set of headphones, and I really don't want to buy a mixer.)

Eddie,
I just ran a test on my G5 Logic system (Logic 9.02) with an internal RME PCI 8in/8out Audio Card and I get perfect separation bouncing to a stereo audio file using standard panning. Click on one side and a couple of crunchy guitars on the other. Each side is completely separate.
So, it seems to point to your hardware unless you have some other audio routing that we've missed.
I'm re-doing my setup so I may try a couple of other tests as I go along.

Converting 16X9 .dv to .avi, gets letterboxed at left and right

Hey Guys,
Anyone know how to retain 16X9 from .dv to .avi using MPEG Streamclip?
I'm using V1.9.2... tried different settings 5 times now... can't get it to stop squeezing the picture on the left and right.
Also, when I play new file back in RealPlayer (for Mac) the sound is missing. In MPEG Streamclip, it's there. (?)
Thanks!

Hey Guys,
Thanks Nick and Studio X for your help. Definitely using it to navigate through this.
Results so far: The aspect ratio issue is still not solved. To refresh... this is a 16X9 .dv file and I'm trying to retain that aspect ratio as I convert it to a PC playable file.
Following Nick's suggestion... I
1) Opened the original file (.dv file) in Quicktime and saved it with "Clean" as the chosen Presentation conform choice. Quicktime made a new file with the .mov extension (I noticed picture degradation at this point). Knowing I still have to get to an .avi file (per Nick's suggestion) I then
2) Encoded this .mov file as an .avi file with MPEG Streamclip, then to test I played the resulting .avi in RealPlayer for Mac (I'm slowly thinking using RealPlayer for Mac is not really a test, based on Studio X's comments, and FYI, even though I have WMP for Mac it won't open these files... not sure if that's expected or not).
Anyway, in RealPlayer the aspect ratio was still squeezed left and right (faces look tall). Playing the resulting file in MPEG Streamclip also has the same results... video is squeezed on the sides.
Another FYI... I did find a backdoor, quick and dirty solution in case anyone wants to know:
In the FILE menu of MPEG Streamclip, you choose a file type to export to. In the resulting window there are settings to adjust. To the right of the ZOOM setting is the X/Y setting, where you can type in any number. I tried a couple numbers to narrow it down... and 1.23 seems to be just right. This forces the aspect ratio of the new file (at least when tested in RealPlayer for Mac) to have the "shape" of 16X9. Don't know what the inadvertent consequences of doing this are, though. I'm sure this messes something up somewhere!
I will pay for Flipformac and let everyone know the results.
Gotta say, in 2010 it blows my mind there isn't a file type everyone in the world can just play, without these kind of issues. I feel like it's still 1995. This is like different CD player manufacturers allowing only certain types of CDs or DVDs to play in their CD or DVD players. We didn't choose to pain the consumers with that... we made CDs playable in all CD players. It makes sense!

Scroll front panel left and right using control

I am taking an input from a chair rotation sensor (that just returns a voltage). I want to use this value to operate a control that scrolls the front panel left and right. Effectivively, the user would be able to navigate a wide control panel just using his chair.
So to summarise:
Does anyone know of a way to control the left and right scrolling motion of the front panel using a control?

Use the VI property "FP.Origin" to set the position of the panel in the window. To move the window position, use "FP.Winbounds".

Left and right bracket

Hi, I know how you obtain the left and right bracket on the keyboard of my Imac Intel:
shift command and ) = ]
shift command and ( = [
but I don't know how to get the left and right bracket WITH ONE KEYSTROKE.
And that's something I need to know to configer my Wacom Intuos 4 Tablet.
Can anyone help for this?
Thanks in advance and kind regards
L.
I use a Belgian keyboard-setting on an Imac-Intel Osx 10.6.7

Resolving keyboard mapping variations is usually a fairly easy matter of trial and error.
The square parantheses used for trim operations are directly to the right of the P key on a US/English keyboard. On a Norwegian keyboard, directly to the right of the P is the Å key. Does it perform the same function as the [ left parantheses?
Alternately, square parantheses on the Norwegian keyboard are generated with Alt Gr-8 and Alt Gr-9. Do they work?
