PDF to WordPerfect

Hi Everybody,

I am Charlie and a Geek Want-A-Bee.

I am trying to find a program that will convert a PDF document to a wordperfect document and run on a PC running Windows 98SE. Can anyone tell me if there is such a critter?

Thanks buches & gobbs

Hello Charlie, welcome to Major Geeks.

What you are asking is impossible.

The PDF format was developed to allow all sorts of formatting and presentations that have never been available in any word processor. Thus even a simple PDF may contain elements you can't transfer to Wordperfect.

Depending on the PDF document you may be able to copy and paste the text to WP.
There are some picture extracting programs available that render the graphics to bitmap or jpeg.

However you can only extract things if the originator allows this and has not locked the PDF.

Try hovering the hand cursor over the text and right clicking. You may be offered a choice of 'allowing select text'

 

WordPefect X3 claims it will convert PDFs to WP, but it will not run on 98SE. Are you saying it will not convert from PDF to WP even if I was to build an XP or Vista machine and install X3 on it, it would still not convert PDFs to WP?:confused

 

To rephrase what I said

It depends on the content of the PDF file and the options set by the peson who originally wrote it.

Many programs will open or import some pdf files, but they will not always look the same and some parts may be missing.

I remember the Wordperfect 'trellix' add on which does a much better job of converting wordprocessor multipage documents to linked multi web page web documents than Microsoft Word or Publisher ever managerd. But it wasn't perfect (haha) and missed some things.

 

:wave and welcome to MG's..

 

Thanks. How about Softscan PDF 3 Converter or Softscan PDF 4 Converter?
