As the inventor of the PDF file format, Adobe makes sure our Acrobat PDF to Word converter preserves your document formatting. When you use our online conversion tool, your fonts, images, and alignments will look as expected. The converted file is an editable Word document that you can start using right away in Microsoft Word online.
You can also try Adobe Acrobat Pro free for seven days to convert files to and from Microsoft 365, edit PDF documents with PDF editor tools, edit scanned documents using optical character recognition (OCR) functionality, merge PDFs, organize or rotate PDF pages, split PDFs, reduce file size, and convert HTML, TXT, RTF, PNG, JPG, BMP, and other formats to PDF.
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've created a form where responses populate a word doc template and create a file in SharePoint. This all works fine. The next step should convert the document to a pdf, but I get an error that says --The selected file doesn't exist, please select a valid file and drive. clientRequestId: 0b8924ab-4efe-47c3-991e-a8672fc6386e-- at the 'Convert Word Document to PDF step', However, it does exist. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Below are some pictures of my flow up to that step. Note: in the 'Convert to PDF' step, I've tried, from the 'Create File' step: ID, Name, and DisplayName.
I finally have this working, however I could not get it to work using the 'Convert Word Doc to PDF' premium- Word Online (Business), which I do have an account for. I had to use the OneDrive for Business - Convert file (Preview) in order to get it working. Below is a screen shot of my flow. More steps, but it works.
I realize this was a long time ago, but I faced similar issues and really needed to avoid One Drive. My process worked, finally, and here was the solve: In the Convert Word step, in File it should be / then the Name output from the create file in sharepoint step (it wants a path to the file relative to the document library root). I also needed to be sure the filename when I then saved the converted document back to SharePoint wasn't just the Name output, because I just get a word doc because that is the filename when I created the first Word doc. So I needed to ensure the filename is just recreated and instead of .docx on the end of it, place .pdf. Works great. Thanks, Kev
How did you attach the converted pdf file to email? I am more specifically asking the step before "Add request to sharepoint list". I could not see which pdf file to choose to attach to the email. Did you use the path of folder or the location? I would appreciate if you could share it. Thanks!
Mine is a little different from @Mike44's, because I am storing the PDF files.
First, I populate the template and create the word file in sharepoint. Then I convert it to PDF, save it, attach that to the email, and delete the Word file.
You're not missing anything - the "Convert file" OneDrive (preview) action just bit the big one a month or two ago and now this Convert to Word Document is the only option unless you want to pay Adobe $25,000 a year OR are okay with setting up new Adobe API user accounts every 500 PDFs lol
