Add to Document as Image
Image-only pages will appear in the target file as full-page images. Text on those
pages will not be editable, but the pages can be printed. You will be notified at the
end of processing if pages were transferred as image. The target file may be large;
you can reduce file size by setting Color Conversion to Grayscale or Black-and-
White or lowering the resolution for graphics elsewhere in this panel.
Inspect First Pages
Select the inspection checkmark to have the first pages of PDF files inspected.
Define how many pages should be inspected by entering a value between 1 and 10.
We suggest placing a value of at least 2 because many PDF files have an image-
only cover page followed by pages with text layers.
Note: There is one password protection scenario in which the PDF will be treated as
if it were image-only and will be handled according to your settings here. See
Protected PDF Files.
Retain
Choose which elements to retain or drop during the conversion.
Rule Lines
Retain or drop dividing lines in tables and other lines on the page.
Headers and Footers
Select this to have headers and footers detected and transmitted to the target
application. De-select this to have headers and footers transferred as normal text
elements.
Hyperlinks
Select this to have hyperlinks detected and transferred. De-select this to have link
text transferred as normal text.
Text and Background Color
Select this to have text coloring transferred to the Word document. Shaded and
colored backgrounds will also be transferred. De-select this to have all text
transferred as black, and colored or shaded backgrounds converted to white. De-
selecting this setting does not prevent the transfer of colored or grayscale graphics.
Selecting this is recommended when the PDF contains colored texts or backgrounds
because layout retention is likely to be better. De-selecting this when the PDF does
not contain colored texts and backgrounds will speed up conversions.
