Re: Pdf To Word Ocr Convertio
Roseanne Devon
DOC is a file extension for word processing documents. It is associated mainly with Microsoft Word application. DOC files can also contain charts and tables, videos, images, sounds and diagrams. It supports almost all the Operating Systems.
I am a final year graduate student and I have my thesis (about 350 pages) in Microsoft Word format. I would like to convert the document into a LaTeX "camera" ready PDF. Is there any easy way to do this?I am very new to LateX..
New version of writer2latex is pretty good. It works with the Open Office, but I think their command line utility should work without the OO. You can set quality of the converted document - from LaTeX as clean as possible, to version which tries to emulate appearance of source word document.
The free open source word processor AbiWord has an MS Word import function, and, if you install it (be sure to check it under install time, or if on Linux, install the necessary plugin package), a LaTeX export function. It works decently well for simple documents.
I am somewhat late to the party, as the question's author has, hopefully, graduated. But, for the sake of completeness of answers, I'd like to mention a universal (and now very popular) format converter pandoc ( ), which is open source and supports an extremely wide variety of document formats, including presentation slides and e-books.
You can't convert MS Word document to LaTeX directly. The two formats are rather incompatible. Last time I had to do it (a 4-page paper written by my Prof) I saved it as text-only and readded all formatting, math, images and tables manually. As you can guess it was quite an effort which is not doable for a 350 pages document, except in the unlikely case that it would really be all text with minimal formatting (some arts thesis maybe?).
Have also a look on What is the best way to make the transition from Microsoft Word to LaTeX? or on Convert TeX to non-TeX and back, but I don't think you will get away easy with this task in any case.
Latex is a type setting language, and through programs such as pdflatex, you can turn this into a pdf file. It is certainly not the only way to create a pdf file. If creating a pdf from your word file is your ultimate goal, then there are much more sensible ways to do this.
When installed, this will become a print driver on your computer. Basically you go into Word, and tell it to print your document and then select PDFcreator as your printer. It will go through various options and ultimately create your pdf for you.
There will still be manual editing to do, but at least the major parts will be done for you - doc envelope, sectioning and other trivial stuff. So that you won't have to hunt a plain text file for the chapter/section titles.
If you're running an AppleScript-compatible operating system, I've written a script to do this. It has many limitations as far as pictures go (totally unsupported), but it handles the essentials (bold, italics, underscores, percent signs, dollar signs, tables (in tabu)). Note that it keeps everything in unicode, therefore the fontspec package is recommended with xelatex. It is a work in progress.
This is probably a bit too late, but 350 pages of conversion is a lot. You could try the following tools people have suggested above such as WordtoLatex, writer2latex or rtf2latex2e, but I doubt you will be able to go through all 350 pages without any hassle. Especially with tables, images and all. It might though take you a month to do this carefully!
If you have completed all the 350 pages in word (man, that should have taken long!), then I'd recommend using one of the paid services available and just get it converted. You could try maybe Word to Latex, Word LaTeX or something similar although I agree it is hard to find one!
word2tex seems like a pretty decent commercial option. Unfortunately, it only runs on Windows OS. It provides a "save as tex" option in the "Save As" dialog box. It also has dialog box that allows a wide range of configuration options.
This website is in beta state but is constantly improving.If you follow all guidelines then you can get pretty descent ".tex" code and ".pdf". If you face any issues ,leave them a message and they will fix it.
There is It is a result of the Bachelor thesis "Word-to-LaTeX convertor by Michal Kebrt. I was one of the early testers and it produced really good results. The free version of 1.2 from 2007 is still floating around the net: -freebies.de/board/viewtopic.php?t=14932
According to my experience, the best results are obtained with GrindEq (which is shareware, unfortunately). The resulting TeX document still requires a lot of work, but at least MathType equations are transformed correctly.
I am getting a Pdf conversion error (offending Command: findresource) when printing from microsoft word on one of our pcs.
Our printer is a kyocera ecosys M6535cidn.
Printing works flawlessly on all other pcs, except for this one. Converting a Word document into pdf first and then printing it from a browser also works, only printing a word document directly yields an error.
The PC is running windows 10 pro and is fully updated.
I've a word file where I'm populating values from Dynamics 365 using Power Automate. I've installed MICR font in my ms word app(MICR is not default fonts available in word). I've uploaded my word file in sharepoint.
I've mapped the fields correctly ms word in power automate but when I try to convert this word to pdf then all fonts display correctly except for the MICR font. I've identified that MS Word doesn't support third-party font installation in the web version.
Question- Is there any way that I can convert my word file to pdf with MICR font properly?
We need to embed the fonts in the Word documents first, save the file and then Convert it.
Font embeded will ensure that the fonts used in your document are included within the document file itself.
To embed fonts in ms word you can do the following:
Open your Word document.
Go to "File" and select "Options."
In the Word Options dialog box, go to the "Save" tab.
Check the box that says "Embed fonts in the file."
Save your document.
now after embedding the fonts, try converting the Word document to PDF again wherever you want. This should help preserve the MICR font during the conversion process and ensure that it displays correctly in the resulting PDF file.
