True Page®
Form-like PDF files can also be handled by the general conversion algorithm in PDF
Converter using the setting True Page.
How to start True Page conversion
Use the Preview panel in the PDF Converter Assistant. Under Convert as, choose
Document. Go to the Document Options panel, choose True Page for Layout and
specify other processing settings. If you want to do one-click processing without the
Assistant, make sure True Page is selected, then open the File Open Settings panel
in the PDF Converter Settings dialog box and choose Automatically Convert as
Documents.
When to use True Page conversion
 When transfer of the textual information in the form is just as important as
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.
Additional information
A language setting is not required. All the settings found in the Document Options
panel are used during the conversion. If True Page conversion does not deliver the
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.
