Nate Schley Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 I had 3 PDF (v1.7) files with tables I converted to Excel. I started by deleted extraneous pages, then deleting extraneous content on the remaining pages so that the only content was the tables of interest. Generally, the conversion process worked like a charm. The problem is so many of the words have extraneous spaces in them, and I have to manually re-group the words. Examples of words I need to manually correct: "b rake", "br ake", "bra ke", "un it", "ou t", "ope n", "supp ress" I saw one thread in the community citing this issue. The response referred to OCR settings in the user guide. The Nitro Pro settings were already set as advised. I noticed OCR→Recognition→Qualty = medium, so I changed it to High & re-converted. There was no appreciable difference in the conversion output. Here are relevent app settings: Conversion Advanced recovery All text language = english automatically OCR image-based docs OCR correct image skew - checked (I have no graphics beyond table lines) Fixed threshold - unchecked detect text orientation - unchecked (all text is horizontal, L-R) Recognition language = english quality = high Output use system font based recognition - unchecked (all fonts seem to be embedded in the PDF) I'm using Nitro Pro 13.16.2.300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
