Tried both ABBYY Fine Reader and ABBYY PDF Transformer. They produce this weird doc file that I cannot format accordingly to instructions to make sony pdf or cannot make a valid RTF as I usually do it, i.e. select all, open Word pad, paste, check that it is Arial, Western then save. I cannot say it is the only pdf file that I have this problem with. I had a few other pdfs as well. Something happens during converting. On PC it looks perfect. However, some errors or unusual formatting occurs and I thought maybe someone knows what sort of formatting I can do in MS Word in order to repair it.

P.S. it is not a problem of my PC, I have tried it on another PC, the same results.
