PDF to TXT
#1
Question 
In short, I scan a PDF document and then try to edit it as text.

My problem is that I can only do this using Microsoft Word, not with Libre Office Writer or OpenOffice Writer.

With LibreOffice the file opens but does not allow me to edit it.

With OpenOffice version 4.1.7 (currently the most current), editing is allowed, but the text appears encoded. I've tried several Character Set options, but a page with ascii codes always appears.

I didn't want to depend on having to use Word.

Does anyone know how to use either LibreOffice or OpenOffice to obtain the scanned PDF result in an editable text file?

I thank you for your help.
