如何转换PDF文件成词，擅长或JPG格式

张贴在2007年9月10日在4:12 pm

保证读其他岗位从改变信仰者文件格式系列!

我在办公室跑了很多那些日子的一个共同的问题是怎么 转换PDF文件 到Microsoft Word格式(doc)，擅长格式(xls)，或者JPG图片格式。通常，人们想要会转换文件成PDF，但能转换另一个方式也好的。转换成词实际上是相当简单的，并且可以直接地使用叫的一项网上文件转换服务做 Zamzar. 去擅长或JPG是一个二步非常难过程，但的没什么跟随。

更新：有一个容易的方法对改变信仰者a PDF到JPG图象格式 比方法我叙述如下。这怎么您能使用Zamzar.com做它。

转换PDF文件成JPG -容易的方法

去 ZamZar.com为您的文件浏览并且选择 PNG 为格式格式化对conver到下面第2步。 PNG是慢慢地替换JPG格式的另一个更新的图片格式。可能打开JPG文件的多数节目可能打开PNG。 Zamzar在PDF文件自动地转换每页成它是拥有PNG画面文件。现在您能简单地开始 微软油漆 (是，所有您需要它绘!) 并且选择 文件-除之外 从菜单和从格式下落下来名单选择JPEG。

那是它! 顺便说一句，如果您感兴趣 如何从PDF文件提取文本 或 如何转换词文件成PDF等等，检查链接。

改变信仰者PDF到JPG格式-第二个方式

您将需要做的第一件事是下载一个免费软件(我可能发现)的仅一个改变信仰者PDF文件到JPEG图象自动地格式化。去 Omniformat下载页 并且下载两个 Omniformat v8.3 并且 PDF995 app. 您将需要首先在安装Omniformat之前下载和安装PDF995。 Once you have both programs installed, go to your Start Menu programs, find the program group Software995 and click on Omniformat.

The only annoying thing about this program is that it requires you to view some ads for about 30 seconds! However, it’s better than paying $20 or $40 for a program just to do a simple conversion! It does pop up another instance of your browser window for the web site of each of the sponsors, but it does not install any spyware onto your computer (no popup ads). Once the program is loaded, you’ll see it has a section called “Watch Folders” and then a button at the bottom titled “Start Monitoring” and “Single Pass“.

Basically the way it works is that you need to COPY the PDF files you want to convert to JPG format to the C:\omniformat\watch folder and then press Single Pass. The program will look in that directory and convert each page of each PDF into a separate JPG file. If you click Start Monitoring, you can keep dropping PDFs into that folder and the program will automatically convert them into JPGs as long as the program is open. Note that the program DELETES the original PDF document that it uses, so that’s why you need to COPY the PDF document to the watch folder, not move it! You should now see your converted files like below:

Convert your PDF to a Word document

Go to Zamzar.com and click the Browse button next to Step 1 and choose your file. By default, Step 2 will be set to DOC format, but you can choose to convert your PDF to other file types such as TXT, HMTL, RTF, etc. Type in your email address for Step 3 and click Convert.

You should receive an email within a few minutes with a download link to your converted file. I have tried out this service on some pretty complex PDF documents with text in multiple columns, multiple images, etc and have been very impressed with it’s conversion accuracy.

Convert a PDF file to Excel format

We will again follow the steps above using Zamzar, but this time choose TXT as the format you want to convert to. Unfortunately, you can’t convert straight to Excel format, so we’ll have to go through the intermediary TXT format. Once you have downloaded the TXT file and saved it on your computer, open Microsoft Excel and go to File - Open and change the Files of Type combo box to All Files.

Now you should see the converted text file in the list of files. Choose it and click Open. You’ll now be brought to the Text Import Wizard. You have to open the file in this manner because if you simply right-click and say Open With Excel, all of the text for each row will appear in the first column and not be separated.

For Step 1, choose Delimited from the two options listed.

Click Next and check off the Space checkbox as one of the delimiters. Each value should now be separated by a vertical line, indicating it’s going to be in a separate column.

convert pdf to jpg

Click Next and then click Finish. You can now save the file as an Excel file by going to File - Save As. There are a few drawbacks, however, as this conversion does not always work perfectly! For example, if the original Excel sheet had a column where there was text with spaces included, each word will be separated into it’s own column! Also, you won’t see any formulas or functions that may have been in the original Excel sheet, only the text.

It’s as easy as that! You can use many other image editing programs also such as Photoshop, Corel, etc, etc, but I chose Paint because that is universally available on just about every Windows computer.

Bill & Sanjiv - I’m glad it worked for you guys!

Shukla, Michelle - Not sure why it’s blacking out the documents. Maybe there is some security on those PDFs, that would be why. Converting from PDF to Word has worked for me several times.

That worked just fine for me. Thanks.

Gururaj said on : March 2nd, 2008 at 4:54 pm

Zamzar does not seem to work in converting PDF files in double-byte languages (such as Japanese) to Word files. However, the link posted in 9. by Saeba converted the Japanese text in the PDF file to Unicode text; however, there’s a 2-page limitation unless you become a member. Interested in other online services that convert PDF to Word. Nice tips. Keep up the good work!

Another way to convert from PDF to JPG is to use “FillOutAForm” from http://jdmcox.com/ to convert from PDF to BMP then use Microsoft Paint to convert from BMP to JPG.

Now you can simply open Microsoft Paint (yes, all you need it Paint!) and choose File - Save As from the menu and choose JPEG from the drop down list of formats.

I could not save the downloaded file from zamzar into paint.

Could someone please fill in the missing steps.

Ja - Zamzar is good site for conversion of .pdf into .doc (Word) format. It is free also, although it does take a long time to receive converted files back from Zamzar by email. Have grown a beard by then! But free and good quality. Converted 26 page .pdf with table and colour - Word version came back to email - still could read table! Passed to the manager, he was more than happy!

I found a cool new site which allows PDF to Word conversions for free. No registration or email address is required. Your converted documents can be downloaded immediately.

Gaffer said on : October 29th, 2008 at 8:14 am

Not the best for images. Coverted a pdf of a landscape image fine. In portrait, and the quality was poor when I managed to get it rotated.

Other file formats were great though!

I have a new computer with VISTA… cannot do much of anything since I was addicted to WORD and WORKS in the old computer and XP Home.

Can load/read pdf files from LightScribe DVD SuperMulti Drive/CD Writer, but need to make changes on them and cannot. How do I go about doing this? In particular a 4- page brochure which needs some updates and I need to do them pretty soon.

I am not really technically proficient here, so I need sort of easy instructions.

Slipperymeat said on : January 1st, 2009 at 11:35 pm

How to change a PDF to a JPG, without any additional software:

1) Open PDF

2) Go - File - Print

3) Change printer to “Microsoft Office Document Image Writer” (most XP and Vista computers will have this installed)

4) Bottom of page, tick box “Print to File”

5) Click Properties, go to Advanced tab and change file path to where you want the file saved, click OK

6) Click OK, when box for File Name comes up, name the file and add extension (ie: .jpg) on the end.

7) Check location you saved the file to, there should be a .jpg image of your .pdf document.

Response to # 57 post. I followed your directions, I was impressed that it worked, however, the picture was saved in black and white instead of its original color. Any suggestions?

Mesa One said on : January 23rd, 2009 at 10:41 pm

A simple way to convert PDF to any image format is….

1) open PDF
2) expand window until whole page is visible
3) press the Print Screen key
4) open Paint or any other image software
5) paste (Cntrl-V)
5a) crop image if needed
6) save as image format (JPG, PNG, GIF….)

easy! except you have to do it for every page

letemburn said on : January 30th, 2009 at 5:22 pm

hey, i just used the zamzar free service and it SUCKS because of the following reasons

1- it takes 24 hours to get to you. so if you want to convert something today this is not an option.

2- your converted file is only available 24 hours so u better check your email every day.

3- quality of the conversion sucks. it is better and more accurate to use software methods mentioned in this article.

4- THEIR FREE SERVICE SUCKS. ITS HORRIBLE. DONT TRY IT!!

JP said on : January 30th, 2009 at 6:33 pm

ZamZar.com converted my PDF to a PNG.

HOWEVER, the image was mirrored, rotated, and skewed: Therefore it is distorted and unusable.

Very disappointed with their service.
