So if the pdf creating programm can not see if this is at least any graphic parts in it or what, how on the earth should it find out what to do with the file and how to convert it.
But for pdf only the graphic part would be essential just to make a bitmap picture of it and transform it into pdf format.īut neither open office, nor the 7-pdf maker will be able to recognise what is inside the file, since this is proprietary and can be opened only with very expensive special software software. This is a graphic file, but it contains also other things. It definitely can not convert any file into pdf, since it needs at least to be able to open them to see what is inside and what has to be converted.Įxample: I have a binary file called interface.pcbdoc Open office, and also the 7-pdf maker, use the ability of one part of the open office, simply to open and read, thus be able to analyze, certain most common pictures as jpg or bmp, document formats as doc etc. If you want convert html page into pdf, well thats one thing, html is one way of describing a page, pdf other, widely known formats, conversion between those is not a problem.
I don't understand why people actually do "scan to PDF" without involving OCR or some kind of re-vectorization, but this misunderstanding of the format works in my favor.It is unfortunately not so simple to convert *anything* into pdf. It's also not very different from printing the document and scanning it as a PDF (or TIFF and faxing it). I know very well that PDF documents with forms – and a whole lot more awkward security holes – can be created and that some people actually use this, but I prefer that people do not send me such documents. I use GIMP whenever I need to change something in PDF a document.
Stop searching, "print" the document, fill it out and move on. When you arrived here, take a deep breath. It's just the amount of garbage documents and other users reliance on a proprietary application (with a deprecated and unsafe feature set) which make me occasionally doubt in which time we live in. I was able to clearly see which fields and checkboxes can be filled and I was able to save the document with my modifications. Update 2023: It turns out Firefox can handle such documents well when they are properly formatted.
