603941 2007-10-21 22:49:00 I'm trying to print a .pdf file but it's got a stack of weird characters instead of spaces (I think). My reader is Foxit and I've also got PDF995 installed but I can't get the flaming thing to work.

Any ideas how I can edit the document so it'll print out properly?

You can then write on it (pen-pencil-crayon-burnt stick) rescan and send it out directly as a .pdf file again.

I have used Able2Extract which will convert your PDF file to Word,you can download it as a trial and you can use it for a week or so.Works well.

Surprise surprise. :nerd: I had this with PDFConverter which is excellent software but......it only converted a few pages just to show how clever it was. :(

603949 2008-09-15 01:49:00 Hate to say it Greg but perhaps time to shake the moths out of the purse... I did it last year and bought Nuance pdf. Don't use it a lot but when I do I appreciate it and the purchase pain gradually disappears. :rolleyes: Scouse (83)
603950 2008-09-16 04:56:00 Download the beta of OpenOffice.org 3 here:

download.openoffice.org

it's a release candidate so I wouldn't use it for production work but it will happily edit PDFs. The full stable version is due for release in a week or two.
