Converting PDF to DOC

[Jean-Guy Marcil]

Hi Sparky,

I seemed to have missed where this thread mentions that?

In one of my replies to Andy:

Not quite... if you scan a page and do not run it through OCR, you will end
up with a picture of a page (picture of the text...). For example, people
who scan whole books do not usually bother going through OCR for every
single page.

PDF's are not a graphical format. They are simply a file format. They
can be made up of text and or graphics. Using PDF's to hold graphics
of text, is like taking screenshots of Word documents then pasting them
back into word as graphics. Yes you can do it but its not the best use
of the format.

I did not say that Acrobat should be used to do that... But you do find PDF
that are like that... If you download enough documents that were scanned and
put on a Web page as PDF, you will eventually find one like that. I know I
have seen tons of them.

Salut!
