DocSmith: PDFs and images to PowerPoint or InDesign, with live text.

What it does

DocSmith in a minute

DocSmith turns a PDF or an image into a PowerPoint or InDesign file where the text is live and editable. Every page keeps its pictures, logos, colours and layout exactly as they looked, with a real text box laid over each paragraph.

Text is read the way a person reads it, from the page itself, using the recognition built into macOS. That is why Arabic comes back as real letters you can search and edit, not the broken shapes that usually come out of a PDF. English and Arabic lines on the same page are both read.
