To summarize what everyone is (probably) telling you: A pdf is a file format that can hold a combination of pictures and text and can be many pages or one page. At this point it's your best bet, and in fact, if you actually did scan in that first document, it's the only way you could have gotten it so neatly editable. The results can range from startling to amusing to accurate. Then you give the resulting image to a program that 'reads' the letters and makes a best guess at what the original text was. Basically you scan the page, aligning it as carefully as possible with v and h axes. It's the only way to generate editable text from a physical object through a scanner. Me too! Does your scanner have an OCR option? That's Optical Character Recognition. I thought I had scanned it like all the others but the fact that it is editable and all my others aren't has me confused.

Then we will address other possibilities, and need your Inkscape version no. It should be selected as text (check the status line) and editable. Want to leave your groups as they are for some reason? when your file first opens try control-clicking on a bit of text. Now you should be able to select text objects to edit. Does it still say group something? Ungroup again, and keep doing it at least until your status line starts showing 'text' among the other things in the list. blah de blah Group something"? If no, please post exactly what it says. If you do see it, then continue and when the file opens, do ctrl-a to select all. Do you not see this option? Then stop right here and let us address that issue.
If yes, then: how are you opening the Pdf in Inkscape? Try starting Inkscape and then file>open and browse to the pdf, in the dialog that comes up make sure that the option to "Import text as text" is chosen. svg file I attached in the last post and select the text by clicking on it? If the answer is no, then your problems are in your Inkscape installation - or worse! If not, then, picking up where we left off, step by step: Since this is not a terribly unusual problem it might be of benefit to new users to have this discussion here where it will be searchable in the future, so I hope that's OK with you.įirst, are you on a Mac? If so then someone else will be along to help, and you can ignore my further comments. Hi, in PM you communicated that you're still having probs.
