Re: [PDF-Basics] Question -help.Extra spaces, no spaces when converting from pdf to Word

You might consider using "PDF Converter for Microsoft Word" from Scansoft. (www.scansoft.com) This is an inexpensive tool that does a good job with the conversion. Its a plug in for Word, that allows you to open a PDF document directly in Word (performing the conversion automatically).   Steve Harris ----- Original Message ----- From: Dornellas To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 07, 2003 1:53 PM Subject: [PDF-Basics] Question -help.Extra spaces, no spaces when converting from pdf to Word I have a project where I'm converting several pdf documents into Word. I'm using Acrobat 4.0 and 5.0 to do this. I've noticed that some documents, if I 'Select All', then copy into Word there are no spaces after puncuction, or there are extra spaces after certain letters for certain words (example; the word traffic is pasting like this traffi c.   After a period or a comma, there is no space like their should be in proper grammar and like it's showing in the original pdf.   I did a test with some other pdf files and some did this as well and then others pasted perfectly. I still had to adjust paragraphs a little but I have several 14-page documents to review now. Is this a matter on how the person that created the pdf, created the document? Is there anything I can do to have the text paste properly.   Thank you in advance!!
