Processing modes and outputs
Choose from four processing modes, depending on the content of the PDF file to be converted and the type of output you want. Here are your choices:
Mode Output
Standard Document
Word WordPerfect RTF
Legal Document
Word WordPerfect RTF
Spreadsheet
Excel
Forms
Word RTF
The settings for each mode are displayed on the left panel of the Assistant when you make a mode selection. The values are stored separately for each mode - this includes the image-only processing and graphic handling options that are common to all modes.
The output settings are displayed in the left panel when you make an output selection. The settings are the same for all targets and only one set of values is stored for use with all saving.
Next we summarize the choices unique to each mode.

Standard Document conversions
Choose how the layout should be maintained:
•
True Page
TM places all elements in text boxes or frames.
•
Flowing Column
uses text boxes and frames only when necessary, allowing body text to flow from one column to another.
Legal conversions
Choose to retain or drop legal-specific features:
•
Pleading numbers
- these typically appear in left margins to define line numbers.
•
Images
- these are typically stamps, seals, signatures or company logos.
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.
