When I try to open a PDF file I get the following error message: THERE WAS A PROBLEM WHILE CONVERTING PDF DOCUMENT TO WORD FILE
It is strange because this wordfast version support the pdf format.
Somebody can tell me if this depending from wordfast settings or from pdf-file settings?
thanking in advance.

An old story indeed, the subject pops up every now and then.

See for example: http://www.proz.com/forum/wordfast_support/184196-open_doc_file_get_file_contains_no_translatable_segments.html

... and my recommendation to software publishers in this thread, namely:

I personally think that saying "This CAT tool can handle/translate PDFs" should come with some precisions, like "Under PDF, we understand files that were created with a DTP software or through the conversion option of most office software, not scanned images wrapped in a PDF".


We have yet to see a CAT tool which would integrate a (working!) OCR function...
