[Alexey2912]

How can I convert a scanned pdf document using Foxit reader to MS Word........any methods?

Thanks.

I tried using the tool to copy to notepad, but this does only 1 page at a time and the document contains 1000 pages?

Someone more familiar with Foxit Reader will correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think you can (at least not within the application itself).

Thanks,

Thanks appreciate your expert reply.

Shall start with 1 page from foxit to notepad and than to word.........

You need a PDF Converter Foxit Phantom though not Free works well ...

 

[Alexey2912]

Thanks shall give it a try.

At the moment am giving Nitro Pro a try lets see what results do I get.

 

[Alexey2912]

Failed with nitro.

and the document contains 1000 pages?

Perhaps the document is too large?

Suggest trying it with a smaller document, first.

Either way, I'm pretty sure you're going to need PAID software to do this well/efficiently.

Probably shall take a print out of the scanned documents.......

Thanks again.

Best regards!

AbleWord is free.

AbleWord can save Word docs as PDF and PDF as Word docs.

Open PDF in AbleWord
Save As Word doc
​

- AbleWord is not perfect, in some instances some components are missing ... a case of suck-it-and-see
- I have also tried AbiWord but for now I dont remember the outcomes, not as good as AbleWord, if at all.
- PDF is still a work-in-progress for me

Locked PDFs can be unlocked online -- FreeMyPDF.com - Removes passwords from viewable PDFs or www.freepdfconverter.com
- my favorite is freemypdf because 1. 250mb and 2. IMO a better result
- some services are woeful
Secured PDFs cannot be unlocked

Otherwise the only commercial program I am seriously considering is Tracker Software's PDF-XChange PRO
Tracker Home page
product comparisons including PRO

The only two freebies they have are Viewer and Editor limited features ... both will add comments to existing PDFs and you can customize or add your own bookmarks.
- Editor is Trackers new generation PDF Editing tool (supersedes older "Viewer")
- Viewer is still available and IMO better suited for small screens/laptops
