Why some parts of PDF document are replaced by
strange characters in MS Word output?
Sometimes when fonts are embedded or subset within a PDF, the original font
information is lost and the text is corrupted. Although PDF Acrobat or Reader
will still display correctly, the correct text information is not available.
In these cases PDF-to-Word converter failed to extract the correct text from
your file.

Can PDF-to-Word extract text from scanned PDF
documents?
No, PDF-to-Word converter will only be able to extract text if it is available as text
within the PDF document. It will not perform optical character recognition
(OCR) procedure on scanned PDF document. However, if you use the free Paper
Capture plug-in from Adobe.com to perform OCR on your PDF document, you can
then use PDF-to-Word to convert the text it creates into MS Word format.
