Hi all!

I\'ve got a 78 page document that was orginally in pdf format. I extracted it using Gemini and now have a word doc. The original pdf was in two columns and the word doc has maintained the text in the correct columns but the text is in numerous text boxes. You can remove the box by highlighting it, right clicking and choosing frame, delete frame - This then produces text that goes across the page, i.e. not in 2 columns. How can I remove all the text boxes in one go? If I then choose 2 columns will it mess up the whole thing which is my fear? What would you do? Simply translate in the text boxes? They won\'t provide the doc in another format - I already asked. Thanks for any advice you may have.

Deselect the "Retain Layout" checkbox Mar 14, 2003

Hi Gillian,



Before extracting text from your PDF, you can deselect Gemini\'s \"Retain Layout\" option to avoid creation of text frames in your resulting RTF file. That should do the trick!

Try this Mar 15, 2003

Hi Gillian,



Open your document in Wordpad and save it as RTF.

Open it again in Word, and you won\'t see text boxes anymore.



Regards,



Ramon
