Nuance ScanSoft PDF Converter - 1.0 Quick Reference Guide
Quick Reference
Welcome to ScanSoft PDF Converter
The ScanSoft® PDF Converter for Microsoft® Word allows you to open non-encrypted
PDF documents directly from Microsoft Word, so they can be edited and saved as Word
documents. Most PDF files contain a text layer with standard encoding. The ScanSoft
PDF Converter is designed to handle these files. PDF files not meeting these criteria
must be converted by OCR (optical character recognition). If ScanSoft
is available on your system, this Converter will offer its services.

different one.
