Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Can anyone recommend a good program to convert PDF files to Word or Pages on a Mac? The one I have has left a lot of artifacts, including paragraph symbols at the end of every line on all 321 pages of the document I'm formatting as an e-book.
Thanks!
Guys, I am writing down all of those suggestions! Thanks! (And I do NOT care if a laptop is pretty -- points if it is, of course, and definitely don't want anything that breaks my back.)
Strix, there is a Micro Center near you and they often have good deals, including refurbs, on a variety of brands. Worth checking out from time to time.
Heh. I wish we got bonus points every time we're at that Microcenter. We loves it, the pressscccious...
(Not the royal "we";the DH and I together and separate trips there "we."
Thanks. Actually I saw that but I've never used Automator and when I tried to follow their instructions, I got hopelessly lost. Of course, if that was written for Snow Leopard and things are different in Lion, that might explain it. It couldn't possibly be that I'm technologically deficient. could it?
below the automator suggestion is an app suggestion. It is not cheap at $80 though.
The new hardware shipped with a new version of JellyBean, 4.2, that has the described features. I don't know when it will show up as an update for existing Nexus hardware.
Multiple users is a tablet-only feature of 4.2.
A *new* version of Jellybean? Why does it have two versions? How is that not going to make a fractured market more confused?
All pdf to word converters leave some artifact. Pdf convert from scansoft does the cleanest job in my experience, though you will almost always have to do some manual cleanup. Pdfs are designed for printing,and they simply do not convert cleanly to word.
If you have hundreds of software developers on a project it's going to keep getting new features and with new features comes a new version number.
I hadn't paid much attention to that Solid to PDF app because it seemed pricey. Now that I've downloaded the demo, I'm really impressed. It seems to be retaining most of the original formatting. The Wondershare app isn't nearly as good. While the documents may look the same on the surface, when you go to 'view invisibles', you immediately see the difference. Considering the time it will save me, it will be $80 well spent. Thanks so much for persisting! I am very grateful for your help.
