In Plus - Converted to Word - Copy-Paste?

Post by CraigS26 »

In Plus I hoped I could take a prior ( HP MFP scanned to PDF) Property Deed with Text, Signatures, and embossed Seals showing - convert it to Word - and just Copy-Paste-Send -- Only the .doc(x) Text -- to another person for use. ALL I get is 4-Arrows Symbol when holding the Cursor over the resulting Word document.
Do the Seals - Signatures ruin the Text Copy-Paste capability?

Can't Find Convert to Word in manual or my scenario in Search Forum.... Thanks!!

Hello, CraigS26

Our demo stamps do not ruin copy/paste functionality. From what you have described, it sounds like your MFP has build in OCR, and that was not performed properly, resulting in damaged text within the file.
To fix this, you may want to rasterize the document (using the rasterize pages tool on the convert tab), and then run our OCR on the file, which may be more successful in generating properly select/copyable text.

Thanks, but you're giving me too much credit.
I'll Search about this and update when I either give up and need more help or can report success....

EDIT: Daniel, Something is very wrong. An amateur followed your instructions never having done this and It WORKED!!
Copy-Paste is Good now. Will apply for a Nobel when I can find the form....
Many Thanks!
