Editing documents in Microsoft Word
If you defined the Word document name before converting, you can edit it freely.
There are cases when the Word documents cannot be named beforehand; they
are displayed in Word. You can edit these files without saving them first;
however it is a good idea to save them with the
Save As
command, before large-
scale editing. The source PDF file remains locked to other users until the
converted file is saved.
PDF Converter is designed to replicate the original PDF pages as closely as
possible, keeping columns, titles, pictures and framed elements as they were.
The program offers two ways of having this done:
Flowing Columns
and
True
Page
. The latter places all page elements in text boxes or frames. The former
removes boxes when possible, and uses column and paragraph breaks and
margin settings to format the page.
If the converted page looks different, it may need only a small amount of editing
to restore it to the original layout, for instance, by removing or adding column or
paragraph breaks.
First of all we recommend switching the
Show / Hide
button ON to see how
the converted document layout is expressed.
Columns
To remove columns
If you do not need the columns generated by the converter:
1. Click the
Columns
button or select
Columns
from the
Format
menu.
2. Select
One
column.
To remove column breaks
The converter places column breaks at the end of the original columns to keep
the original layout.
