Re: Getting the most out of our PDF-to-Word converter

CCVC — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:34:03 -0000

Just a few questions:
1) Does this feature work with PDF files that were made from scans, or only from PDF files that were converted from Word? (By "works," I mean does it create a document with editable text rather than simply putting a bitmap of the pdf into a Word document.)
2) If it works with PDF files made from scans, does it need to be OCRed first?
3) Does the feature require MODI from Office 2003 or can it work with MODI from Office XP?

Re: Nitro PDF Software is Windows 7 ready

We understand there are some users our there who would love a version of
Nitro Pro on the Mac. It's not on our roadmap at this point in time, but
that doesn't mean it's not on our mind.

It's no small project to port Nitro Pro to Mac, and needs to be the market
there before we would proceed. Preview keeps on adding some of the core PDF
related tools we sell in Nitro Pro, so what's stopping Apple adding more and
more stuff that we would try and charge for?

An interesting debate to be had :-)

Thanks for your input.

What about Snow Leopard on Mac?

We migrated to Mac because of its true stability but there is no product as well as Nitro to be installed and run in a Mac.

It's a shame we need to have a virtual machine with windows inside the Mac to be able to run our license of Nitro...

We think you should do something about it

Jeff, you'll need a more complete PDF desktop solution like our Nitro PDF Professional to scan to PDF. You can find out more here. http://www.nitropdf.com/professional/create-pdf...

Amit, the PrimoOnline service mainly focuses on converting files from your desktop -- that's what the majority of people are using it for. We've also included the same kind of Web to PDF capabilitiy in there as PDF Download.

I have Nitro Professional and am unable to convert a pdf to an excel spreadsheet. On only see "convert to word". How is that done.

Love version 5! Not only is it easier, it fixed several problems I was experiencing on various vista installs.

This is such a cool plugin. I sometimes have problems opening PDF files in my browser, but now I can just download them instead.

It's a great plugin. I sometimes have problems opening up a PDF file in my browser, and PDF Download makes it so easy to just download the file instead.

Re: Introducing Nitro PDF Professional 6

I am running your trial version of professional 6. I have been unable to change
scanned documents to form fillable ones. I am using microsoft office 2003-microsoft word.

For me, your program is only useful if I can make the software change my scanned
documents into form fillable ones. Kindly e-mail me back a solution.

Thanks,

m. rosen

I recently tried your online PDF to Word service and was very impressed with the results. Yours wasn't the first such service I tried, but easily produced the best output from my document.

Do you have any plans to release a linux version of Nitro PDF Pro? This is a tool that I'd love to have on my desktop if its output is the same as your online conversion engine.

Where can I find the open console menu? I cannot find it under "forms" thanks in advance!

Re: The Easy Way to Sign PDF Files & Forms Without Printing Them

chrisdahl — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 23:01:56 -0000

Sure. You can 'flatten' the annotation.
1. Go to the Forms ribbon.
2. Open the Console.
3. Type the following into the console and click Execute.

this.flattenPages();

That will flatten the annotation and make it a part of the page content.

Somehow I can move my signature around even after I save it as some other file...
Is there any way that I can lock it so after I send it to another person by mail they wouldn't be able to touch it?

Can you provide us with your sample PDF file that wouldn't convert
correctly?

The pdf-to-word does not support Chinese!!! It cannot convert chinese pdf.
So are you going to improve this?

I was disappointed when I converted my PDF file to a MS-Word document that was composed entirely of images of text.

Please let me know if there is a converter available that will covert the text to an editable text format.

Thanks!

Hey Matthew,
With the OCR add-on you will be able to OCR an existing PDF document (so
imagine you have a PDF open in Nitro Pro, and there is an OCR button on the
Create and Convert ribbon), and also you will be able to check a box on the
Create PDF from Scanner dialog to OCR during your scan too (makes it a one
step process rather than a 2 step).

richardcrocker1 — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 22:50:46 -0000

No Mike, unless you want to re-convert each page to page one at a time. You really need a tool like our Nitro PDF Express or Nitro PDF Professional -- they each include page splitting capabilities for automating the process. You can try them by heading to http://www.nitropdf.com/products.htm. All the best.

Ho acquistato la licenza di Nitro PDF Professional a luglio 2009, distribuito solamente in lingua inglese.
Come fare per aggiornare la mia versione in lingua italiana?
Saluti.

Oh, I see. I was hoping it would come as an update :( Will the OCR be able to extract text from *any* image, or does a document have to be scanned directly into Nitro PDF to have its text OCRed?
