How to Change PDF to Word with Doxillion PDF Converter

How to Change PDF to Word with Doxillion PDF Converter


Let's say you have some PDF files that were sent or perhaps you downloaded them from somewhere on the internet. They look great, but you want to be able to make some editorial revisions and send them to a friend with a different word processor. The ability to change a PDF file to a Word document is a game-changer for your business, hobby, education, or other works that have landed you in this predicament. Lucky for you, converting a PDF file to a Word document has never been easier. With Doxillion Document Converter, you can quickly change PDF to DOCX or DOC and dramatically improve the speed of your workflow.


Import PDF Files

The first step to convert PDF to Word is to add your PDF files into Doxillion. You can do this by clicking on the Add Files icon in the main toolbar, or by simply dragging and dropping them from their source folder directly into the program.


Options

You can explore the options menus available in Doxillion before converting your PDF files into Word documents. Click on the Options icon in the main toolbar and view the different tabs within the Doxillion Options Window to see what you can do. This is where you can decide what actions the program will take when it encounters errors or duplicate files and folders as well as adjust other conversion settings.


Document Settings

Click on the Document Settings button located at the bottom of the program to adjust the margins in your files. These margins will appear in your converted DOC or DOCX file after you have changed it from a PDF to Word document. Check the box to overwrite the pre-existing margin settings in your original PDF file.


Output Destination

Next, set the output destination for your converted Word documents. This is the location where your new files will appear after they have been converted from PDF to DOCX or DOC. Click on the Browse... button to launch the Doxillion file finder window and choose your preferred output folder.


Set File Type

There are many different file types to choose from when converting PDF files. Doxillion can convert DOCX, PDF, MOBI, WPS, HTML, TXT and many other document file formats. However, today you have your eyes on the prize. You came here because you need to change those PDF files to Word documents ASAP! Open the dropdown menu next to the text that says "Output Format:" and select either .doc or .docx for your output format type. These are both Word format types, with the main difference just being that DOCX is newer. If you have an older version of Word or you might be sending these files to somebody who does, it may be best to use .DOC.


Change PDF to Word

Once you have your PDF files imported into Doxillion, your output file type set and you have chosen your output destination, you are now ready to convert your PDF files to Word Documents. Click on the Select All button, located at the top of the program, to select all of the files currently in Doxillion. If you wish to only select a few files to convert, hold down the Ctrl key while selecting just those files. With your PDF file or files selected, click on one of the two Convert buttons in the program to start the conversion process.

Finished

Once your PDF to DOC conversion is complete, a notification window will pop up to inform you that the conversion has been completed. You can click on the Open Folder button to go directly to the folder where your new Word files are now located. You will see that your PDF files have now been converted to writable and easy to edit Word files, capable of being viewed and revised in any word processor.


Pro-Tip

Doxillion will attach an option to the right-click menu on your computer when you first install the program. This allows you to simply right-click on a file on your computer and select Convert with Doxillion to automatically launch the program with that file locked and loaded and ready to be converted. You can also visit the options menu in the program and use the Right-Click tab to choose specific one-click conversions that you would like to have appeared in your tooltip. If you need to change PDF to DOC or DOCX often, set these as right-click options and simply right-click on any PDF file on your computer and select Convert with Doxillion to .doc. The converted file will appear in your chosen default output folder.

How to Record Streaming Video

How to Record Streaming Video



We have all been watching a live-streamed video online at one time or another and wondered to ourselves, "How can I record this streaming video to watch again later?" There are many different tools and programs out there that are available to help you record streaming video on your computer. One of the most effective and easy-to-use streaming video recorders is our own Debut Video Capture and Screen Recorder Software. This simple software allows you to record and capture video from almost any source. In this article, we are going to take a look at how to use Debut to record streaming video on your PC or Mac.


Select Recording Source

Debut Screen Recorder Software is great for recording live-streamed videos on social media, Skype conversations, and other real-time moments that if missed, may never be seen again. To record a streaming video, first start by opening Debut on your computer and selecting the recording source. Debut is capable of capturing video from a wide variety of sources including various external video input devices, such as a webcam or IP Camera. Because we are recording a streaming video on our computer, that means that our recording source will be the Screen. Make sure the Screen option is selected in the main toolbar before continuing to the next step.


Select Recording Window

After selecting the Screen option as your recording source, you can select the Recording WindowDebut allows you to record your entire screen, a single window, or make a specific selection on your screen of what you want to be recorded. Choose from one of these three options on the left-hand side of the program, underneath the preview window. In this example, I have chosen to select my own recording window. You can click and drag to make a rectangular selection around your video and then fine-tune the dimensions in the window that appears afterward.


Video Recording Settings

Before you start recording streaming video, you will want to make sure that all of your recording settings are exactly how you want them. You can select the file type that you would like to record streaming video in as well as adjust encoder options and output options such as frame rate. Click on the drop-down menu that says Record Source As: to select your video file type.


Audio Settings

Click on the Options icon in the main toolbar to adjust your audio recording settings. This will launch the Debut Options window where you can click on the Audio tab and select how you would like to record audio while you are recording streaming videos. You can select an option to record audio from your speakers, from a microphone, or even record the clicks from your mouse. The speaker option will enable you to record the audio from your streaming video.

Record Streaming Video

Once you have selected your recording window and adjusted your video settings, you are ready to start recording streaming video. Simply click on the record button to begin recording and allow your video to start playing. Debut will capture both the audio and the video from your streaming video unless you make an adjustment in your settings to record just one or the other. When you are finished recording, simply click on the stop button and your newly recorded streaming video will be output into the Debut folder located in the Videos file on your computer.
