I've recently run into a strange issue with a document converted from PDF into Word using Adobe ExportPDF service.

Please see this document (this is an excerpt from the complete document) to see what I mean: http://dropbox.com/sh/cfcq1f46rwrn3mp/Ye23axLQv9/Durante%20la%20transferencia%20de%20custodia.docx

I've recently run into a strange issue with a document converted from PDF into Word using Adobe ExportPDF service.

Please see this document (this is an excerpt from the complete document) to see what I mean: http://dropbox.com/sh/cfcq1f46rwrn3mp/Ye23axLQv9/Durante%20la%20transferencia%20de%20custodia.docx

When opened either using Word 2007 for Windows or Word 2011 for Mac, the document displays the diacritics correctly. They are also spelled correctly. However, both words fail to pass the spell check. The spell checker suggests exactly the same spelling. See screenshot http://minus.com/mbeJJ9M7WC

This is obviously a codepage issue. The document was plagued with these apparently correct accent marks that failed to pass the spell check. Any ideas as to why this may be happening?

Thanks! ▲ Collapse

Unas pocas ideas Apr 11, 2012

Recuerdo alguna vez, una situación parecida.

No me acuerdo exactamente cómo lo solucioné pero lo que siempre pruebo es:
cambiar el idioma asegurándome de que concuerda con el de mi diccionario en Word, le saco todo formato, lo copio y lo pego como “unformatted text”. También, alguna vez, si mal no recuerdo, algún problema similar se solucionó reiniciando el equipo.

Es lo que se me viene a la mente.

Javier, gracias por tu amable respuesta.

Sí, una vez también me había sucedido y lo arreglé siguiendo el procedimiento que describes. Desgraciadamente, en este ocasión no era posible, pues se trataba de un documento extenso con formato complicado que me costó bastante trabajo arreglar. Creo que en todo caso habría sido más fácil pasar el corrector y aceptar los cambios relacionados con los acentos.

Revisé hasta el cansancio las propiedades de fuente y de párrafo, así como las del idioma, y no encontré problema alguno. Ya que la conversión de archivos de PDF a Word forma parte de mis responsabilidades laborales, me gustaría llegar al fondo del problema.

Nuevamente gracias por tus consejos.
