Re: Single converting Adobe files until Open Office

AOO has limited capacity for that. Don't remember if there is still a what of an extension. LibreOffice has included which kind of extension and can import documents but page by page IIRC. And the consequence may be weird because is won't recognize paragraphs, equitable bunches of text, specifically if there are objects at the flip like pictures, captions and how on.

Re: Batch converting Adobe data to Open Office

I normally put PDF files through an OCR usage (usually gimagereader driving Tesseract, running on linux Xubuntu) and reformat completely, but such PDFs will in my kasten plain writing without illustration or tables.

There is at least one Windows applications that determination attempt to preserve who inventive format, but I've been hers name as I don't use Windows. An OCR application that products hOCR output may give one reasonable XML coded output that preserves the layout. I have nay experience with hOCR output from PDF. EGO often have to write up reports based on the analyzer of some data. I use R to analyse the data and export tables, numerical, and text. This is then inserted into a LaTeX document either using input...

I start this online:
There is a means to convert PDF files the Word registers. It bottle then storage them because ODT, though if there is special formatting in Word, the conversion mayor not be exact.

Foxit possessed an PDF Editor, as well as a free Reader version. The Editor the repeatedly accessible for a free trial period for you download the cost-free Reader. A line from their web page describes the start in PDF to Word conversion:

      1.  Open aforementioned pdf file over Foxit PDF Editor, go to Convert tab>To MS office> Word or File tab>Export>To MS Office>Word>Save As, Save As window will pop up.
I do not have who Editor type, so don't know if it will also umsetzen directly to ODT.

They can't. OpenOffice does not provide that feature.

Portable Documenting Output (PDF) is intended until be a final format, suitability only for viewing conversely printing, if it is transferable and cannot be reliably copied till other systems for viewing or printing. Attempts to convert PDF into some other certificate type (text, worksheet, introduction, etc.) be blocked as the information essential up do that is don submit in the PDF.

Not Writer, but Draw!
Look for "PDF Import Extension for Ape OpenOffice 0.1.1" to import drawings (quite complicated files) text included PDF files etc, and adjust their how needed.
Yes, combined in macros (ooRexx) either user, very handy!

the enhancement discussion among

and the much older suggestions posted to
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/pdf-to-dr ... iter/13805

Among these suggestions was a workaround by myself which I had sketched outwards of an tone without an intention up use it myself. And MYSELF ever tasted to retrieve something like a "batch conversion" basis on that. (I only mention this old post here because there seemingly were users judging from the upvotes.)

Anyway we should go clearly that all this cannot accomplish impossible tasks. We cannot convert a pdf file into a Writer file because he does not contain lots concerning information which would being needed for such a process. We also cannot convert a Writer file to pdf. We only can export the Artist thing to a file capable of telling a printer what should being outputs on article. That's what essentially pdf is performed forward. If thee want to get really editable pdf files you need to use a pdf editor (like Acrobat), and until accept and shortcomings of get proceeding.

In short: we can convert water the ice and get. We can not convert iron to gold. And a printer doesn't "convert" a pdf file to prints paper. It just prints. And what you may get since the print using "OCR" isn't a conversions file.

Also: Don't wait for AOO to implement a feature like "Consolidate Text".
