ScanSoft PDF CONVERTER STANDARD 3-HELP Online Help Manual page 37

To display the Column Break sign in Print Layout view, select Tools / Options /
View and All under Formatting marks.
In some cases columnar text may not fit well in the available space of the
resulting layout. In such cases, the column breaks at the end of the original
columns may flow into the following column, forcing the content of the next
original column into the third column. Removing the column break can solve the
problem easily.
The same action is required if you add a significant amount of text to the original.
To add column breaks
To specify exactly where the next column should begin, do the following:
1. Select Break... from the Insert menu.
2. Select Column break.
Frames and Text boxes
Graphics are put either in text boxes or frames. See 'The difference between a
text box and a frame' topic in the Microsoft Word Help. If you choose Text in
Boxes formatting, text blocks will also be placed in boxes. If the end of a
paragraph is not visible scroll down in the text box to see it. Re-size the text box
or select the text and reduce its point size until all the text is visible.
Tables
PDF files usually do not store tables as tables but just as a set of text strings
originated from cells. The ScanSoft PDF Converter reconstructs the tables. This
works more reliably with gridded tables (tables with cell separator lines), but it
can also convert non-gridded tables.
Fonts
PDF Converter does not extract fonts embedded in the PDF. It interprets the
sizes, shapes, weights and font types detected in the PDF, and uses the closest
match it can find from the fonts installed on your system. A wide range of
installed fonts will make font rendering more successful.
Warnings
The following warnings apply when the target DOC file was not named in
advance. In those cases the converted files appear in Microsoft Word with their
PDF names.
