Question:I have one scanned PDF document which I need to convert into word format for editing. I tried several scanned PDF to word converter but they just transfer image of scanned document into doc format which is useless for editing. Please suggest me a free software which really convert scanned PDF into real doc for editing.It would be better if there are some free online converter as I just convert a few scanned PDF file. Is there such solution on VeryPDF?
