Produce a fully formatted document for further editing such as contracts, letters, articles. This is the most commonly used document type and the default processing mode in PDF Converter Assistant.

You can process all types of documents using Standard mode. If you have a special aim or target for documents of particular types, you can use a different mode.

: Convert legal documents with format retention, but with special processing as follows:

• Line numbers in the left margin, also known as pleading numbers, are kept or dropped depending on the state of the Retain Pleadings option. To totally reformat a legal document, it is better to drop the original pleading numbers and recreate them later if required.

• A single or double vertical line on the left side to separate the line numbers from the body text, and a single vertical line on the right side. These are detected and dropped where possible.

• A single header line on each page, identifying the case, with the date of document filing, etc. These are detected and dropped where possible.

• The top of the first page usually contains a table-like header specifying the names of the plaintiff and the defendant. This is retained with appropriate formatting.

• Stamps and signs are usually handled as images. You can select before processing to keep or drop them.

Use Standard mode to avoid the above handling: all elements are converted.

This processing mode is focused on retaining the original table structures. Select this mode if:

• Your document contains mainly tables or spreadsheets such as financial sheets, inventories.

• The aim of the conversion is to work with the table contents in Microsoft Excel. To edit data, use table data for calculating or making statistics, while the original formatting of non-table text is less important.

There are three options for processing Spreadsheets: Create Sheet Per Table, Create Sheet Per Page, or Create Sheet per Document. Your choice also determines how non-table content is handled.

When you select per document, the result depends on your saving choice under Output Options:

• If you select Convert files separately, you get one sheet per input document.
• If you select Combine output into one file, you get one sheet per job.

Form processing retains the page layout. In addition, the form controls (check boxes, edit boxes and horizontal lines) are detected with image processing methods and are reproduced in Microsoft Word as fillable form fields.

Select this in the cases detailed below.

• For converting static PDF files that have form elements but do not contain form controls.

• If your aim is to generate an editable form in Word format. You can modify labels and add or modify form controls in Microsoft Word, then distribute it for respondents to fill in.

During form processing, form controls are created, based on the state of the Create Form Controls option.
