Learning how to convert PDFs to Word on Mac computers means you can conveniently convert and edit any PDF document in Word. Editing PDF documents can be complex without the correct software, meaning most users convert PDF documents into file types like Word.
Go to a site like Upwork or something and pay someone to convert the list to a CSV while you spend more time doing other things.A PDF is one of the most common file types because it's versatile and transfers easily between platforms and operating systems. A fast typist can make easy work of a list of 500 lines even if they were on paper or dictated. OCR isn't good for names where spelling can vary.Īlternatively, you can just pay someone else to do this. But that will lead to a very imperfect document that then needs to be checked carefully for errors as you do the same clean-up and get it in share to import. If the text can't be copied, probably because it is an image, not really text, then you can try to use an OCR app to convert it to text. Not magic solution - just roll up your sleeves and work at it. It probably doesn't have to be perfect as you'd then continue clean-up in Numbers. Then I'd clean it up so that each name is on a line, with consistent comma (or tab) separated fields that match. That of course can be done with word processing documents too. Lawrence: If the PDF is searchable, then I assume you can also select all and copy? If so, I'd copy the text and paste it into TextEdit (plain text document) or another text editor. Use whatever is best for creating the types of documents you want to create. But even spreadsheet apps like Numbers and Excel would be used in some cases. If you need something more artistic, then Illustrator, InDesign or something like that. If you need word processing or a basic page layout format (newsletter, etc) then Pages or Word. Or, if you are creating a new document, then pick an app that fits your needs. If you didn't create the document, who did? Go to them, I assume someone you are associated with, and get the original document and use the equivalent app to edit it and export a new version. So what did you use to create the document in the first place? Use that app to edit the actual document and export it again. Then when you are done with that document you export it as a PDF in the same way you would print it to paper. You create Pages document, or Word, or InDesign, or Illustrator, etc. The best app to use for that is the app used to create the original document.
