Why: Convert PDF into WordPress / Confluence?

PDF files are often too big, so they should be split into smaller parts, e.g. web pages (or Confluence on an internal site).

This helps Google (or the internal to find content better.

Converting Steps

Step1: Convert PDF into Microsoft Word

Import the document with one of the methods described here.

I prefer to use Office 2013 and open the PDF inside Word.

Step2: Images

We prefer making screenshots of all images based on the PDF, using SnagIt, Lightshot, Greenshot or Windows Snipping Tool.

The images should be numbered, similarly to the  figures tables (see screenshot).

In Word, you are able to edit imported images, if you need that….

Step2a: Media Title, FileName is often on top of the image

What is written on bottom is not always correct.

Step3: Improve Word doc

The conversion into Word has some problems. I had some words that got split. You should correct the document using the Word spelling check.

Step4: Upload the images to WordPress/Confluence

Insert all the images to your WordPress/Confluence.

We work with a table structure: Left the explanatory text, right the image.

For Confluence just copy paste.

For WordPress you may use a plugin like Mammoth.

Step6: Split the document

as needed, when you identify the different chapters/pages.

Step7: Improve the pages.

It helps to create new section, enumerations.

Bold text for important things, etc.

A:

Yes we are using Image Elevator, it’s the easiest way to copy paste images.

Not sure that it is possible to be automized, because every image is for different folder in pcloud.

This also will take some time, saving the image into right folder and renaming .
