Hi all! I\'ve got a 78 page document that was orginally in pdf format. I extracted it using Gemini and now have a word doc. The original pdf was in two columns and the word doc has maintained the text in the correct columns but the text is in numerous text boxes.

How can I remove all the text boxes in one go? If I then choose 2 columns will it mess up the whole thing which is my fear? What would you do? Simply translate in the text boxes?

Thanks for any advice you may have. ▲ Collapse | | | Gerard de Noord Франция Local time: 08:26 Член ProZ.com c 2003 английский => голландский + ... Try a macro? | Mar 14, 2003 |
Try this macro on a copy of the file or use (a test version of) Wordfast to extract the PDF text to a DOC without text boxes.

Hi Gillian,
Before extracting text from your PDF, you can deselect Gemini\'s \"Retain Layout\" option to avoid creation of text frames in your resulting RTF file. That should do the trick!

Hi Gillian,
Open your document in Wordpad and save it as RTF. Open it again in Word, and you won\'t see text boxes anymore.
