Non-Standard Encoding
Most PDF files use standard character encoding, but some use an internal file-
specific solution.
Select the Recognize non-standard encoded pages checkbox in the Document
Options panel to extract text using the built-in Optical Character Recognition (OCR).
Protected PDF Files
PDF Converter respects security settings applied to PDF files. PDF files can be
protected by passwords and security settings. Two of these settings are examined
by PDF Converter: Printing permitted or prohibited, and Copying Content permitted
or prohibited.
Open password
This grants access to a file in accordance with its security settings.
Permissions password
This grants access to a file regardless of its security settings.
PDF Converter behavior
If you try to open a protected PDF file, a dialog box will invite you to supply the
necessary password. Enter this carefully because only one attempt is permitted. One
of three messages tells you which password is required:
Open password is sufficient
Please supply the open password or the permissions password. The file will be
converted.
Permissions password is necessary
Please supply the permissions password to have the file converted. The open
password cannot be used.
Permissions password is recommended
Please supply the permissions password if possible. This will allow the file to be
converted. If you can supply only the open password, program behavior depends on
which security settings are enabled.
If Copying Content is permitted, text conversion will be performed.
If Copying Content is prohibited but Printing is permitted, text conversion will be
performed only if Convert Page with OCR was enabled.
