Handling Mixed Input Files

Files often have mixed content: flowing text, tables and forms. In many cases you can process these files with the setting Standard Document and receive good results. For more precise control, your can use page ranges to separate forms and tables and convert them separately. For example, to best unlock a file with two pages of illustrated text, followed by a one-page table you want to do calculations on, and finally a three-page form - convert pages 1 and 2 as Standard Document, page 3 as

Spreadsheet and pages 4-6 as Form.

How do PDF files work?

PDF files display texts correctly wherever they are viewed because they carry their typographic information with them. Fonts in the document are embedded in the PDF file and are used after distribution to reconstruct the document. The display does not depend on the needed font files being available on the viewing machine, nor on the language of its operating system.

PDF documents present their pages as images. They can be marked-up and commented, but the ability to change the basic text is limited. Most

PDF files can be searched, because the file has two layers. There is an image layer that is presented on-screen. Behind that there is usually a text layer that can be matched to the characters displayed on the screen.
