What to do in case of problems

Are there any PDFs you can't convert to Word? Then you are probably trying to turn a document that does not contain text into DOC or DOCX. Or rather, that even though it contains some text, it was acquired with a scanner as if it were a photo, without transforming the writing characters into texts that can be recognized directly by the computer.

To solve this problem, you can use such software or online service OCR (optical character recognition). OCR software is able to detect the writing characters present in images - or in PDF scanned as such - and transform them into real texts that can be edited by any program (however, losing their original formatting).

Among the best solutions of this kind I point out the online service Free Online OCR which is completely free (I also told you about it in my guide on how to convert JPG to Word) or paid programs ABBYY FineReader for Windows and Prism for Mac OS X (you can find more details about this in my tutorial on scanning programs).
