My document was 360 pages if yours is short you might just go through deleting the hyphens. With great assistance from this forum's member, I went through Notepad and WordPad in order to search and replace all occurrences of "\-" with nothing at all, in order to strip out all the hyphens. For some reason, hyphens that appeared at the ends of lines came through into the plain text file as hyphens in the middle of lines. In Acrobat I saved the backup as a plain text file.

I'm not knowledgeable, and am under a deadline too, but here are my rough notes on how this forum helped me to get my pdf into Word.įirst I made several backups!! This was to make certain I had a safe copy of the pdf, and played only with the backups, not my original. Thanks! My book means the world to me, and its information could help many, so really appreciate your guidance. I've tried the Special box, and selected "nonbreaking hyphen" and "Optional hyphen" but the search doesn't find these hyphens.ĭo you know how I cam make these many hundreds of carried over hyphens from the Acrobat file disappear? For example, change the word to-day" into "today" Is there any way you know that, in Word 2007, I can search and replace those hyphens with nothing-i.e. DOC created from it, those hyphens still appear, except of course they're no longer at the end of a line, but right in the middle of words where they don't belong. In the plain text conversion, and the Word. In the Adobe manuscript PDF, the book is laid out by the publisher ready for the printer, with a hyphen at the end of many of the lines, breaking the word. There's one critical aspect I hope you can help me with. DOC format, and am formatting each of its 360 pages for layout, so thank you for your great guidance to get this far. Your reply was a big help, and I converted the Adobe PDF of my manuscript to plain text, saved that as as a Word file in.
