You can save the converted file in any of the available saving formats, retaining or removing the original formatting.
Setting Up ABBYY PDF Transformer
Converting selected pages
You can convert only selected pages of a PDF document:
Select the Pages option and enter the page numbers and/or page ranges separated by commas.
For example: 1,2, 412.
You can set any conversion order you wish, e.g. 14-3.
Improving conversion quality
To ensure better conversion quality, select the language of the PDF document in the Options dialog box.
By default, the program uses the language of the user interface as the primary conversion language.
If your document is written in more than one language, you can specify a secondary language:
To set up/change the languages of a document:
1. Open the Options dialog box.
2. Select the language of your PDF document from the Primary language dropdown list.
3. If your PDF document is written in two languages, select the second language from the Secondary language dropdown list. If the
document is monolingual, leave the Secondary language field blank.
Reducing image size
To reduce image size when saving in HTML, DOC and RTF formats (and thereby reduce the size of the resulting document):
Set image resolution to 72 dpi, and image quality to Medium.
