Image PDFs won't convert unless there is some OCR going on as well. There is no text to convert if it is an image. I think OmniPage Pro will OCR and convert image PDFs, but I haven't tried it. Pretty much eliminated PDFs from my life for reasons others have given. -----Original Message----- From: real-eyes-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:real-eyes-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of kitty hevener Sent: Thursday, December 22, 2011 10:49 AM To: real-eyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [real-eyes] Re: converting pdf to other formats. Hi, Andrea I tried this service and was not really impressed. I found that I got the same results from this service as I did when using the "save as text" option in the file menu of adobe. I was hoping that it would take a .pdf that was an image and convert it to text. No such luck smile!! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrea Breier" <abreier@xxxxxxxxx> To: <real-eyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, December 22, 2011 8:08 AM Subject: [real-eyes] converting pdf to other formats. >I ran on to this and thought some of you here would like to try it out. > To have PDF files converted to text files free of charge, send an >email to convert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > It is most convenient to put this address into your address book so >that it is readily available in mail.
