Reflow PDF page: a. Create or release a page-reflow object, set page size and line space for a page-reflow object, and start reflowing in a progressive process. PDF page-reflow is a common feature to display page contents in a small screen device. It re-lays out page contents.
I have a user experiencing issues with opening PDFs in Word 2013.The PDFs are scans, but they should be automatically OCR'ed. They're supposed to open as editable text. When a PDF is opened, the cursor just shows as a cross and each page is treated as a separate image.
When I click, it just moves the image.When I view the files on my own machine, they are properly converted, so I know the problem is not the files.I have already tried repairing Office, both with a quick repair, and a full repair.Does anyone know how to reenable the PDF Reflow feature? PDF reflow does not work on scans. You cannot rearrange text in a picture. It only works on documents that originated from a rendered / typed text source.If you scanned a document to PDF directly, OCR will only do one of two things: Put the text UNDER the image, or put the text OVER the image. Reflow will not work on this.It sounds like Word 2013 is opening the PDF and pulling the image of the scanned document because it doesn't recognize the underlying text. Open the PDF in a reader, CTRL+A to select everything and then Copy/Pasta into Word and see what transfers over. You should get the rendered text, and the scanned image as well.If you scan a document into an OCR program first, and then export ONLY the text to PDF, Reflow should work because you only have rendered text at that point.(Additionally, never use Adobe's OCR function.
Their OCR engine is complete crap and has very poor accuracy. Use a separate, dedicated OCR program like Abbyy FineReader if you can afford it).
