How useful are the pdf tools? Will WP Office X7 convert a pdf Image Only file containing text to a WP text file?

Yes. The Open PDF function brings up an initial dialog that allows you to choose between converting only the text from the file or also converting the text in images contained in the file.The fidelity of the conversion depends upon image quality and fonts to some extent, but this is true of any scanned image. I have converted downloaded PDF mathematical papers producing legible text with relatively few errors that can often be picked up with the spell checker. In some cases, more difficult formatting may have to be repaired. My only irritation is that the formatting process uses a lot of styles. All and all, the PDF import is a good tool for repurposing text from the original PDF. PDF documents from WP are normally high quality. You have options for the quality ranging from Commerical Printing, PDF/A level A or level B compliance, and Publishing online. These produce different file sizes. Incidentally, WP uses the OEM Omnipage OCR engine to drive its conversion.

Yup it does, but mainly for epub formats :)If your text in a pdf happens to be stored as an image, it doesn't work with the dictionary lookup.

You can save your scanned documents to word, excel, plain text, openoffice.org, html and a few others in addition to PDF. Lots of flexible options with this program.

File are saved as JPG only, but, of course, you can easily convert JPG to PDF with Acrobat Pro or other programs. I was really surprised by the quality of picture with this little scanner. I use it basically for my research work in libraries, e.g., you're reading an article and find some data or graph that you would like to keep for future reference and it's very easily and fast to store that in your little device.

Try "openoffice.org". It's free and is supposedly compatible with MSOffice.

Whenever I have this problem I just "print" or distill the document to a PDF while in OS9, and then print the PDF to the 9840! Generally maintains the exact formatting so this solution works for me...

It does not support PPT or Doc. The "work around" is to save as a JPEG because it can read JPEG files.

I have never personally done this thru the included software as I have never tried it, I have always used a free PDF solution.

Open Office can read MS Office documents (to some extent, they sometimes dont render/save perfectly). MS Office has plugins for Open Office formats as well which I would recommend using.

Consider switching to Open Office. Its free! Plus it can read MS office documents. In the "save as" options you can even save your Open Office doc as a MS doc. Just a suggestion from someone staggered by the price of office.

If you have photoshop you can open a PDF, erase what you want, insert text if you happen to know the font. The only other option is to have a program that knows how to convert PDFs to Microsoft Word documents.

It's been awhile, but I was able to select how the document would be saved. I chose a TXT file, and could edit it and save in in a DOCX format for MSWord. I never used the pdf setting.

I scanned hundreds of school work documents on my iMac G5 PowerPC - OSX Leopard in 2009 and I believe I used some online service to convert everything from image to pdf. Because I wanted my school documents specifically stored as PDF; but I guess I should have kept jpg for the google automatic photo backup.

No it doesn't. Supported document types are listed but they must all be static images- think PDFs

Offhand (I don't use Windows 8.x) I don't see why it shouldn't work, albeit w/some limitations. I use it in Win7 without any problems in normal use, but it notifies you during installation of certain limitations with some database features (crosstabs, I think). I have encountered some problems with cutting and pasting text from certain webpages, which I then turn to Open Office instead. Overall, however, word processing and spreadsheet work is all I need and 95% of the time it is ideal.
