I will rebuild your PDF into an editable indesign file with real structure


About this gig
Text extraction from a PDF is easy. The tables are the problem: rows collapse, columns drift, cells merge, and what looked like a table in the original is often a stack of loose text boxes underneath.
I rebuild the structure, not just the appearance. Every table is reconstructed cell by cell, every paragraph gets a real style, and the whole document is set on master pages so it behaves like a native InDesign file rather than a traced copy.
What you get:
- Editable .indd with all images collected and linked
- Tables rebuilt cell by cell, with column widths and row heights you can change
- Paragraph, character and table styles attached to every element
- Master pages, running heads and correct page numbering
- A side-by-side proof so you can check the rebuild against your original
- Two revision rounds
This costs more than a Word conversion and takes longer, because the source has already lost the information a Word file still carries. I will tell you honestly before you order if a particular file is not worth rebuilding.
Send me your file and page count before ordering and I will confirm scope and turnaround within a few hours.
