Re: PDF to Word ( docx) Conversion

Just my two cents, but I find .RTF way more arcane than .DOCX, and I don’t think Apple’s exporters for .RTF and .DOC produce high-quality documents. If users are only going to read the documents you produce—they will not be edited or reformatted in any way—then Apple-generated .RTFD (which can

Re: PDF to Word ( docx) Conversion

You might take a look back at the TextEdit source. It should be pretty straight forward to save as .rtf or .rtfd, if by table you mean you have a rich text table. > On Jan 25, 2017, at 6:35, Peter Hudson wrote: > > I was trying to avoid having to go to Direct RTF markup.

Re: PDF to Word ( docx) Conversion

I was trying to avoid having to go to Direct RTF markup. But as you say, it may be the answer. Peter > On 24 Jan 2017, at 21:13, Jens Alfke wrote: > > >> On Jan 24, 2017, at 12:58 PM, Peter Hudson wrote: >> >> I wondered about RTF - but I've built

Hi Jens I wondered about RTF - but I've built everything into a view and I can't see a method on NSView to produce rtf. I've done it previously with, I think, an NSText. Peter > On 24 Jan 2017, at 20:27, Jens Alfke wrote: > > >> On Jan 24, 2017, at 11:54 AM, Peter

Re: PDF to Word ( docx) Conversion

There is an open specification for the file format, which will allow you to easily (if tediously) write your own exporter. The spec is at: http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-376.htm (These are huge downloads) If you have access to a Windows PC, there is a

PDF to Word ( docx) Conversion

Hi All I have a report that I currently print to PDF. Its a simple table with text ( varying fonts ) in the table. I have tried to convert it to docx with a variety of proprietary converters. One or two of them do a reasonable job. But the bottom line is, I think, to get a Word doc that really
