conserving the form layout.
When the PDF contains a mixture of document-like and form-like pages.
When the PDF file has pages with an extractable text layer.
When the PDF has more than 100 pages.
When the
document language
is not supported by the LFR technology.

required results, try LFR.
Sample form
The program is supplied with a sample form, located on the program CD, and also
copied to the local computer, usually to the folder My documents. This location may
vary, depending on your operating system.
The sample form shows the type of PDF the program is designed to convert, and
provides a benchmark for conversion quality. Process it using both of the above
methods, to see the difference between them.
Note
: The output Word document contains static form elements. You can activate
them in Word to create a fillable Word form. ScanSoft PDF Converter Professional
3.0 allows you to create fillable PDF forms.
