Hello everyone!
Bit of background about the situation:
A company needs to edit a PDF file as it is outdated, they tried copying directly from the PDF to word but as there is a lot of layout and info dependent on pictures that failed epicly. They asked if I could look into a way to get it properly into Word so they could easily edit it there.
I used Acrobat XI to export it to Word, the layout and pictures all converted properly and the layout looked fine.
The problem I am now running into is that in about a quarter of the document lines of text have converted into a mix of capital and normal letters, seemingly V,C,H,E,D,B,K are the biggest, and possibly only, problem, which sadly are used quite a lot in those few pages. The weird thing is that for the other 3 quarters of the document the same letters do not pose a problem and did convert properly.
I could go the hard way around and change everything manually(Or use Search and Replace in Word) to get them correct but I figured I'd try here first to see if possibly there is an easy fix for this happening. I tried googling but didn't manage to find anything that fixed my situation or was similar to my situation.
Opening the PDF in PDF-Xchange Editor showed the same problems I am getting in Word, so I am now thinking the problem may be with the PDF file and not the conversion.
The font used is the same throughout the entire document, both the places with problems and no problems use "Frutiger" and get converted into "Trebuchet MS".
A quick test(Not gonna stop trying things myself) shows that changing text from "Frutiger" to "Calibri" makes the problem areas work fine after conversion. Is there possibly an easy way to change all text in the file at once as selecting every bit of text is a bit of a pain.(To google!)
The document contains info I may not share and thus I can't put it online for others to see and apply their hand at it directly.
If anyone can offer any help with this it is much appreciated!
