Frequently Asked Questions from Customers

The converter is mainly used to convert PDFs into Word/Excel/PPT or images; the editor is used to edit PDFs while maintaining the format (text, images, pages, links, signatures). If you need to reuse content, convert it; if you need to correct and resend a PDF, editing is often sufficient.

You need software with OCR. Import the scanned PDF, select the correct language, and start the recognition process: the text is extracted and made editable. The final quality depends on the clarity of the scan and the complexity of the layout.

If you can select a line of text in the PDF (as in a document), it is almost always native. If you can only select an “image” block or cannot select text, it is probably scanned and requires OCR.

It works best with native PDFs and well-structured tables. If the result is “sticky,” try settings that favor table extraction and check for separators/column consistency. With scans, you need OCR and often a quick final cleanup.

This happens when the table is “graphic” (unstructured), when the PDF is scanned, or when the layout is complex (merged cells, irregular columns). In these cases, conversion is still useful, but may require a quick check.

Yes, many solutions support batch conversion: select a folder or set of files and set the output format and rules. This feature saves the most time when working with archives or repetitive workflows.

OCR (optical character recognition) converts images/scans into selectable and editable text. It is needed when the PDF is scanned or when the text is not “real” (not selectable).

If you work with scans, here are some rules that will immediately improve OCR quality:

  • Select the correct language (or multiple languages if the document requires it).
  • Prefer straight scans: tilted pages reduce accuracy.
  • Contrast and sharpness: avoid blurry photos and shadows; clean scans are best.
  • Check tables: OCR can misinterpret lines and cells; a verification step is often necessary.
  • Make the PDF searchable: the goal is not only “Word,” but also a PDF with indexable text.

Yes, many solutions allow you to set passwords and restrict actions (printing, copying, editing). This is useful for sensitive documents or for controlled sharing in a professional environment.

Look for “redaction” (blackout) features that actually remove the data, not just a graphic rectangle. This is important for privacy and HR/legal documents.

Usually in the “Activation/License/Product Key” menu of the software. After purchasing from ESD Codes, you will receive detailed instructions on where to go and what to do, so you can avoid making mistakes.

First, check that there are no spaces or incorrectly copied characters and that you are entering the key for the correct software edition. If you are on a corporate network, check your proxy/firewall. If necessary, contact ESD Codes support with the error details.

It depends on the type of license (device-based or account-based) and the product conditions. In general, reinstallation is possible by following the correct procedure and activation rules.

Generally, accuracy, OCR, batch processing, table management, security tools, and stability with large files change. If you often work with complex documents, the difference is noticeable (and can be measured in time saved).

If you want to control your budget and not depend on renewals, a lifetime license is often ideal. If, on the other hand, you want continuous updates and multi-device flexibility, a subscription may be more suitable. The best choice depends on your actual use.

If the product includes an ISO or compatible installer, yes: follow the instructions provided and use standard tools to create installation media when necessary (especially in IT contexts). The guide you received via email will show you the correct path for that specific software.

To make the right choice (and reduce errors to almost zero), think in terms of scenarios. Answer these questions:

  • Is the PDF native or scanned? If it is scanned, you need reliable OCR (preferably multilingual).
  • Do you mainly convert to Word or Excel? PDF→Excel requires more robust table management.
  • Do you convert many files per day? Look for batch conversion and automation features.
  • Do you only need conversion or also editing? Some solutions include advanced editing (text, images, pages, links).
  • Do you need security? Passwords, permissions, signatures, redaction of sensitive data, compliance settings.

A native PDF is created from a digital file (Word, CAD, email printed in PDF): it contains “real” selectable text.

A scanned PDF is often an image (photo/scan): the text cannot be selected and cannot be edited until OCR (optical character recognition) is applied.

  • If the PDF is native: faster conversion, more accurate results.
  • If the PDF is scanned: quality depends on scanning, language, and OCR capabilities; a final check is often necessary.

When a result “doesn't come out right,” the reason is almost always one of the following:

  • Complex layouts: multiple columns, nested tables, repeated headers, footnotes.
  • Non-standard fonts or fonts poorly embedded in the PDF.
  • PDFs generated from scans with low resolution, shadows, crooked pages, or blurred text.
  • Output goal: “graphic fidelity” vs. “maximum editability.” You often have to choose which to prioritize.

A good converter allows you to adjust the approach and reduce manual intervention after conversion.

Converting from PDF to Excel is one of the most requested tasks, but also one of the most delicate. It works best when:

  • The PDF is native and the table has well-defined columns.
  • There are consistent lines or separators between cells.
  • The document is not a poor-quality scan.

If the PDF is scanned or the table is a “graphic,” you may end up with data that needs to be cleaned up. The winning strategy is: conversion + quick check, instead of manual reconstruction from scratch.

If you manage dozens of files (invoices, attachments, files, reports), the batch function is what saves you real time. Typical workflows are:

  • Convert an entire folder of PDFs to Word for review.
  • Extract tables from multiple PDFs into Excel for a single report.
  • Make scanned archives searchable with batch OCR.

In the office and in the company, the question is often not “can I convert?”, but “can I do it safely?” The most useful features are:

  • Passwords and permissions (restrict printing/copying/editing when necessary).
  • Redaction (blur sensitive data: tax codes, IBANs, addresses, HR data).
  • Metadata (prevent “invisible” information from remaining in the file).
  • PDF/A for archiving, when required by document workflows.

Conversion and editing are not the same thing:

  • Conversion: you need this when you want to transfer content to Word/Excel/PPT to work on it as a “live” file.
  • PDF editing: you need this when you need to change the PDF without changing the format (text, images, pages, links, signatures).

If your problem is “I need to change two lines and send the PDF back,” editing is often faster. If, on the other hand, you need to “reuse content” or “rebuild a document,” it is better to convert.
