Hello Jeremy,

It might happen that you opened a scanned PDF that is constructed from images – currently PDF Reflow is not able to extract text/graphics from image. Other thing that might happened, if this is not a scanned PDF, is that that part of the document is graphics heavy, in which case PDF Reflow might render that part of the document.

Thanks!

Milos

Not sure that my post worked so.... What do you do if it doesn't work. I'm on Office 2013 Preview client and I opened a pdf with text, table and phone numbers but all I get is one large image.

Killer feature! Awesome!

I can't wait to see if this works better for longer documents than other software for that purpose. E.g., detecting (numbered) multi-level headings, indents, complex table layouts, footers, etc. I'll install the preview asap. Great work!

Hello John!

Thanks for your question.

PDF Reflow is a Word client feature and it is installed by default, meaning that there is no option to disable this feature during Office installation and configuration process.

Please also note that by default Word does not take over PDF extension, even if there is no other PDF handler installed on the system. The only way Word may become a default PDF handler is if a user/admin manually sets Word to be the default PDF handler. In other words, by default the PDF will be converted to DOCX only per user explicit request, when a user opens a PDF in Word.

Thanks!

Milos

Cool feature! love this!

just want to ask if an admin can disable this feature? because some users don't want their PDFs to be converted.

Hello!

Thanks for your comment!

PDF Reflow is currently available only on Word client and you still cannot use it in SharePoint 2013.

As for PDF file where text has been written by hand, the resulting Word document will depend on how that handwriting is stored in PDF. Most likely the handwriting is stored as image or vector graphics, meaning that it will end up in Word document exactly as that: images or vector graphics.

I hope that answers your questions. Please let me know in the case you have any additional questions.

Thanks!

Milos
