Converting a PDF document
ABBYY PDF Transformer+ lets you convert any type of PDF document into editable text. The
appearance and properties of resulting documents will depend on the conversion settings that you
select.
1. Specify the languages of your PDF document. See
Recognition languages
for details.
By default, the program will attempt to select the appropriate language from the list of your most
commonly used languages.
We do not recommend that you specify more than three languages at a time, as this
may adversely affect the accuracy of text recognition.
2. On the toolbar, click the Convert To button and then select the desired output format.
Alternatively, on the File menu, click Convert To and then select the desired output format.
To specify conversion settings for an output format, click Conversion Settings,
configure the settings, and click OK.
3. The converted document will be opened in the appropriate application.
