Format issue when converting PDF to word.

Nehil — Thu, 02 Nov 2023 07:18:00 GMT

Hi All,

I am facing a format related issue while converting PDF to word.

While converting a file from PDF to MS word format, almost all the underlines are getting read as underscores. PFA screenshot.

Bot is converting this via 'Adobe Acrobat DC', export functionality.

Please suggest how to get word in a proper format.

Looking forward for your expert advice. Any links to appropriate VBO's are highly appreciated.

It'll be Adobe mis-converting the underlining, so really all BP could do is clean up afterwards by removing the underscores. I don't think the standard Word VBO has a Replace function and you'll need to create your own
