Microsoft
has released its 15th version of MS office on 29th
January, 2013. Apart from the most common inclusion like Word, Excel,
PowerPoint and Outlook in their advanced format, the new version also supports reading
and editing the files in PDF format.
Is it necessary to have Office 2013 for editing PDF files?
Before
opening a PDF file, Office 2013 converts it into Word format. Usually,
conversion is done for the complex and large sized PDF files. Keep in mind that
Word 2013 is no Adobe Reader. The feature of reading is sort of add-on for Word
but it is never a prime purpose for Word design. Aiming at mainly
compatibility, it never delivers high quality. As a result, in case of complicated
layouts, the program scores low on compatibility front. However, the program
works best if you insert texts and images from PDF files instead of workflow
program in PDF format.
Office
2013 is not providing support for Mac operating system and won’t do so in
another 1 or 2 years. So you won’t be able to edit PDF files on Mac without the
help of Word 2013. However, there is many a powerful alternative to Office 2013 to allow the users to edit PDF files on Mac OS.
PDF file contains not
only texts but images also. How will a user extract images from a PDF file and
use them on another document? It is difficult, you might be thinking so. But
actually the process is really simple if you have the right kind of program
installed. Before you proceed to extraction of images from a PDF file, it is
better to create a separate folder that will contain the extracted images.
Listed below are the
guidelines to extract
images from PDF to Mac. Make sure that you
have already installed a high-end converter tool for the process. The advantage
of using an advanced converter tool is that the process will be hassle-free and
completed within a few minutes. :
Step
#1
After starting the program,
load the PDF files from which you will extract the images.
Step
#2
Download a PDF
converter to Mac OS. Install the converter and launch it.
Step
#3
Load the target PDF
files or documents.
Step
#4
It is fairly easy to
import the PDF files. Simply click on the button that reads Add PDF Files.
Another alternative (probably the easiest way) to import the files is to drag
them rightly into program.
