Have you tried opening the PDF in Word? Feb 25, 2021

Have you tried opening the PDF file with File/Open in a current version of Word?

If what Gerard de Noord suggests fail, you should try ABBYY FineReader or similar.

You need to either use a very good OCR program or you have to hire a typist. If you hire a good typist, you would not need to do anything further, but even the best OCR programs only get it 95% right, requiring you to fix layout and formatting manually afterwards.

Mr. Murray,

Do you have an email address that can receive a page of this PDF file? or I can go ahead and upload a page here.

Gerard,

Did try and not successful. A OCR specific software is probably the next best thing , other than time consuming typing.
