Handling Mixed PDF Files
A multi-page PDF document may contain tables and forms. Sometimes such
documents can be converted using a single process: Document, Form or
Spreadsheet. In other cases, however, you may prefer to do more than one
conversion, as shown in the following example.
Page ranges help you to handle mixed PDF files in different layouts. For example
let's see how to unlock a PDF containing two pages of text, a one-page summary
table you want to do calculations on, and three pages of forms. To convert it most
precisely, follow the steps described below.
To convert PDF files containing flowing texts, tables and forms
1. Start PDF Converter Assistant.
2. Decide the output file format first. Convert the two text pages of your PDF
as Document and select MS Word as Target.
3. Click
Open.
4. Select Page Range and type in 1-2 in our example.
5. Check the output file name under Save as. If your PDF file is named as
sample.pdf, the converter automatically offers sample.doc in the Save as
edit box. Rewrite the file name if necessary.
6. Click the Document Options tab and choose Flowing Column under
Layout.
7. Click Convert. The converted file will be saved under the given name and
will be displayed in Word if View converted document was selected.
Close Word.
8. Click Preview in the PDF Converter Assistant.
9. Select Spreadsheet in the Preview panel.
10. Select Page Range and type "3" in the text box.
11. Click Spreadsheet Options and make the necessary changes.
12. Click Convert. The converted file will be saved under the given name
(sample.xls if you did not change the offered output file name) and will be
displayed in Excel if View converted document was selected. Close
Excel.
