Handling Mixed Input Files. Nuance PDF Converter 6.0

Spreadsheet conversions

This mode can be used for PDF files containing partly or mainly tables.

Choose what should be placed in each Excel Worksheet:

•

Per Page: Each page from the PDF will enter a separate worksheet. This will happen even if page content is not tabular; you can specify a page range to exclude unneeded pages.

•

Per Table: Each detected table is converted and placed in a separate worksheet. All content not detected as a table is placed in a separate worksheet at the end. The detected tables do not appear here, but are replaced by hyperlinks leading to the relevant worksheet table.

When you do Standard Document conversions, tables in the PDF become tables in the output file.

Form conversions

This uses Logical Form Recognition™ technology to detect form elements and convert them correctly. Choose from:

•

No form controls: The result will be a fillable form with static form elements. You can use form handling tools in the target application to modify the form design.

•

Create form controls: The result will be a fillable and editable form. You can change field labels and modify the form design.

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, you 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.
