I have a collection of PDFs whose text needs to be captured word-for-word and transferred into an editable document. Accuracy is paramount; I will be inserting the final text straight into a working draft, so even minor typos create extra re-editing for me.
Here is what I expect:
• Every character of running text faithfully reproduced.
• Any tables that appear in the source should be rebuilt in a clean, simplified layout—no ornate borders or merged-cell tricks, just clear rows and columns that keep the same information hierarchy.
• The finished file delivered in either Microsoft Word or Google Docs format, ready for immediate use.
You are free to use the tools you’re most comfortable with—OCR in Adobe Acrobat, manual typing in Word, or a mix—so long as the end result is spotless. Before sending it back, please do a quick proofread against the original PDF to catch stray line breaks, misspellings, or formatting slips.
Let me know your turnaround time and any clarifying questions, and we can get started right away.
