You may have to do some cleaning up, but it is pretty good.

Yes a little cleaning up on some files, but WAY better than the free ones out on the internet!

How does the conversion using Word 2013 of a PDF to Word doc compare with converting PDF to Word using Acrobat XI Pro?

No idea, can't afford acrobat to try lol. My guess, and that is all it is, is that it would be comparable since Microsoft is converting to its own format.

You can download a 30 day free trial of Acrobat from the Adobe website.
Here's an example page of an article that I scanned to PDF on a photocopier, it's a 200dpi scan, not the best quality. The result of Acrobat's OCR and save as docx is not perfect but it's quite remarkable I think. (Acrobat X)

Peace, John! Thanks! I've also had favourable results. Your example is indeed quite a remarkable comment on where various technologies have brought us! *smile*

Yes, I've done it and have been very impressed. It even got all the footnotes from the bottom of the PDF page and made them actual footnotes linked to the proper footnote reference marks in the text. There were a couple of issues as I recall, but relatively minor. Saves tons of time over the old ways I used to do this.

On my browser, the quotes in Tes' post look like they are being formatted (or have rendered) incorrectly. I wonder if it's my browser or if someone else can see this. I can't see the reason, the syntax looks ok to me.

Yes, I've noticed that too. It's weird. I tried copying one of his square brackets to see if it was exactly the same character as my square brackets that work fine (thought perhaps it was a different Unicode character (since he's in Germany using probably German keyboard but uses Amharic as well). But it was the same: hex code 5B.
So I'm going to try an experiment. I'm copying and pasting everything from his last post to see if it formats correctly for me:

I didn't know that Office 13 can convert PDF to Word.
Very good to know, I paid $10 for Office13 from work's sale. This is great potential!

Tried that too and didn't work (I used preview) so it must be a character thing.Rosie Perera said:So I'm going to try an experiment.

Not at all. It's probably one of the most common quotes from Lewis Carroll, even more common than "Off with her head!" There are 813,000 hits on Google for "curiouser and curiouser" and only 398,000 for the other, and this despite the fact that there is a song called "Off With Her Head" by Icon For Hire.

well... I'm sure I learned it by hearing it said rather than just quoting Carroll, most probably more than once, probably a long time ago though. So I was exaggerating for sure. But still, I don't remember how it stuck. I also don't have many friends... with an English literature background that is. So I don't usually hear it. I guess this is why. 'Off with her head' is a common phrase in our household. Our 5 year old daughter it too energetic for her own good [:O]

Yes, I've noticed that too.
It's some kind of end of line or formatting marker, I think. I can't figure out how to capture it and identify it.
If you:
- reply to his post
- select "Quote" to quote the entire message
- place the cursor at the beginning of the line reading "Very exciting."
- press Backspace key
- press Enter key
- select "Preview"
It will format correctly. If you try again, but instead of placing the cursor at the beginning of the "Very exciting" line, place it at the end of the previous line with the "/quote" marker and press the Delete key & Enter key, it will not format correctly.
[EDIT: When trying to peek, I can see the x0d0a markers, but nothing else there.]
If you perform the same steps in the HTML source, it does not work.
Additionally, in the standard editor, you select all, cut the text, and then Ctrl+Shift past it back to correct the formatting.

[^o)] even curiouser. Certainly Tes needs to have his computer exorcised.Randy W. Sims (Shayne) said:I can't figure out how to capture it and identify it.
But to get back to subject, I think Word 2013 is pretty cool. However, like all the previous Word versions, I think that sometimes when styles and formatting gets messed up on their own, it too needs to be exorcised to get things to look the way I want them. Please tell me I'm not the only person who gets quickly frustrated with this.

It was unusual I have tried it two times ,but it has come with the same result again,perhaps there is a bug in it.
Blessings in Christ.
