I then converted the TIFF to PDF and then used Acrobat's text capture function.
#How to use pdf into autocad fonts full#
Since all the data sheets are over 25 pages long, I first converted to a multipage TIFF with full page 300 DPI graphics. I had tried a PDF -> Bit Map -> OCR -> PDF w/text method a while ago. Anybody familiar with them enough to know if they would work for me? Would a newer version of Acrobat have text capture that would work with vector based text?Ī sample page from one of the PDF files is attached as an example of what I am dealing with.Ĭlick to expand.Noyb, thank you very much for testing the different conversion methods.
I have also seen a few commercial programs promoted as being able to convert PDF files into MS-Word but I could not find details on how they handle the type of text I am dealing with. The text capture function only seems to like bitmapped text and ignores all the short lines and arcs. I am currently using Acrobat 4.0 (yes I know it is old) for Windows. Asking the factory to make the corrections in the original file and generating a new PDF sometimes takes months, if we can convince them to do it. Secondly, we need to correct typos and add information to them. First, the files are huge (a 30 page data sheet is 1.2 to 1.6 MB) and a pain to send via e-mail.

When they were output to PDF, all of the individual letters were converted into a series of connected short lines and arcs. It appears that they were originally created in some type of a CAD program that used a few different SHX fonts. We have a few hundred product data sheets saved as multipage PDF files.
