Hello, everyone. My boss gave me a mission impossible. He asked me to retype all the content from a 126 pages PDF document. God! I don’t wanna spend the whole day doing this boring task. Any idea? I tried copy and paste, but I can’t copy from the PDF files. That drives me crazy. Please give me some advice. Thanks!:'(

Jump to PostI know this is a Python forum and all, but look at the ad under your post. They have a free trial version, so maybe that'll work out for you.

I have tried them. But most of freeware cannot convert PDF well. There are always some text in anywhere.

You PDF file is encryped, the author set restriction to prevent other from copying and editing. Firstly, you need to know if it is legal to copy from it. Then you may convert pdf to word using anybizsoft pdf to word converter. It can preserve text content, images and text hyperlinks after conversion, even restricted PDF can be preserved. You may have a free trial to convert 3 pages.
