I want to convert pdf files saved on my PC (WIN 7), to editable text, (,txt, or .doc/.docx). Does this do it, or is there a better choice.

Yes, it does convert into the all the file extensions you've mentioned quite well.

All you would need to do is download the application you want and your good to go. I see there is a one called Documents to go that is compatible it has Word, Powerpoint, and Exel.

Hello Carrie,The full featured program, with edit ability, etc. can be used on only ONE PC and you have to register the program on that PC. However, the ability to create PDF files (the PDF Creator installs as a Printer) is pretty much unlimited. Other PC's can make as many PDF's as they like by simply telling the program they are working in to print their document to "Corel PDF Creator". They can create PDF's but cannot edit, merge or change them.

There are several questions about filling in PDFs and every answer says to convert to word. That works, but the questioners may be asking another, more subtle question: can you create FILLABLE PDFS. The answer is yes. You need to enable non protected fields just like macros. Frankly, this works much better on Adobe even though I love Wondershare, but it can be done if you have some programming skill. This is creating a fillable form with the software, not just a read only PDF document. Some computers and browsers won't accept certain formats for fill ins because a common virus uses "read only" files to bypass security, but actually contains executable PE's, drivers or .exes embedded in the fill boxes. It can be tricky to disable execution but allow fill ins!

Full list here. Short answer = no. You know you can get something like Open Office for free and edit word files all you want... http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03541370&tmp_track_link=ot_faqs/top_issues/en_us/c03541370/loc:4&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5296985

In ScanSnap Manager, on the "File option" tab, check the box next to "Convert to Searchable PDF" and click on "All pages" in the OCR options box. If you've done that, it may be that you are creating searchable PDFs but your computer can't find them. If you are on 64 bit Windows 7, there is a problem with PDF indexing. Are you on Mac or Windows?

Unfortunately it only does PDF and JPG... as per manual. To confirm I tried PDF, JPG, DOCX, and DOC... only pdf and jpg worked.

Open Office can read MS Office documents (to some extent, they sometimes dont render/save perfectly). MS Office has plugins for Open Office formats as well which I would recommend using.

Yes. The Open PDF function brings up an initial dialog that allows you to choose between converting only the text from the file or also converting the text in images contained in the file.The fidelity of the conversion depends upon image quality and fonts to some extent, but this is true of any scanned image. I have converted downloaded PDF mathematical papers producing legible text with relatively few errors that can often be picked up with the spell checker. In some cases, more difficult formatting may have to be repaired. My only irritation is that the formatting process uses a lot of styles. All and all, the PDF import is a good tool for repurposing text from the original PDF. PDF documents from WP are normally high quality. You have options for the quality ranging from Commerical Printing, PDF/A level A or level B compliance, and Publishing online. These produce different file sizes. Incidentally, WP uses the OEM Omnipage OCR engine to drive its conversion.

It works transparently with Windows 7, it does open and read Word Documents and is able to save documents in Word format so they may be seen by E-mail Word Users. I have been using Wordperfect since version 4 or 5 and continue to create documents with it, that are near impossible in MS Word. MS Word has a tendency to ignore the use and format the document how the application want it and it is always difficult what is driving that formatting. In Wordperfect you can always find what is driving a formatting issue. The better application by far is Wordperfect.

Whenever I have this problem I just "print" or distill the document to a PDF while in OS9, and then print the PDF to the 9840! Generally maintains the exact formatting so this solution works for me...

It is supposed to be able to do so, but I just tried and it did not work. However, I am a beta tester for Acrobat and the Acrobat file was created using a beta version of Acrobat, so I suspect it does work on files created by released versions of pdf programs.

The Control Center 4 software that comes with the scanner will convert graphic text to readable and modifiable and searchable text via its OCR capability. In addition, using the same software you can save the scanned document as a PDF file and then using Adobe Acrobat or Nuance Power PDF you can convert the file to one that is searchable.

Hmm. I was wondering what you meant so I went in to print an invoice PDF. I couldn't even get that far. Mine has an error message that says the printer is not activated (error -30). Worked on that for a bit through my printers but never did get it working. Luckily anymore I send invoices by email but I would like the option, for those oldtimers, to be able to save to PDF then fax from my computer. Saves paper!

Yup. Seems to work just fine. Also, a really nice software bundle is included - eliminates Adobe Acrobat - an excellent PDF Converter and PDF Creator is included. Good luck!

I may not be understanding the question entirely, but once I formatted the drive to Mac, I could edit and save basic documents to the drive. But my pc treats it like a read only drive. Hope that helps.

Yes you can! Open file explorer and locate the file you want to convert. At the top left corner of the document click on "file", you will get an option to "save as". place the pointer on "save as" then on the drop down button. You will now see an option to save the file as a Word document. Select it and watch it convert. That's it!
