From a PDF

Two types of pdf

Roughly there are two types of PDF documents, one is a converted document from MS Word, Pages, InDesign or another programme using any (integrated) PDF converter ('save as'). The other type is a scanned document. Your best chance of converting a PDF to a usable word is from the first type. As a rule of thumb, the more complex the original formatting, the more any converter will struggle deciphering it. However, in the second type of document where the PDF is a scanned document and in effect just like an image file, creating a workable conversion that resembles the original will in general be less successful.

Step 1: Turn your PDF into a Word file

The easiest way to turn a pdf into a guide is copy paste from a wordprocessing program file such as MS Word ('.doc'). The quickest route therefore is to turn a PDF into a .doc or .docx file. There are several options, such as using Adobe, MS Word, or One Drive.

Step 2: Migrate content from a Word file

Now that you have your content in Word, follow the steps as described in 'From Word'. to create your guide.

TIP: Save the images in your recently converted Doc separately as a JPEG or so you crop them to size or add them as banner.
