PDF Import error in MAXQDA 11
Hi all,
I’ve faced with the import problem as well. Not with the codebook, but with PDF. I have the screen shot of the message
Does anybody have the same issues?
I had the same issue with the pdf file Ms03. I tried to open the file with different viewers and found that
the viewer “Sumatra PDF” could open it. I then saved the data with this program to a new pdf file and that file could
be inserted into the MaxQDA 11 project.
However I have another question - with that pdf inserted into the MaxQDA 11 project no text selection was possible
but only drawing rectangles - are there actually pdfs in the packages for which no text selection in MaxQDA11 is possible
- Thanks in advance.
We had this problem with file Ms11 and the issue here was that I mistakenly named it .pdf instead of .png. Ms03 has the same issue, it is actually a PNG file. I have just checked and the following files are affected with the wrong extension name: Ms10, Ms03, Ms11.
Ms09 is a PDF file (I’m able to open it) so I am not sure what the problem was. Are you able to open it in a regular PDF viewer?
For PNGs it is normal that you can only draw a rectangle instead of selecting text. What files were you only able to select as rectangles?
The file for which in my case no text selection was possible was Ms03.pdf. But as you explained that Ms03 is actually a
png file mistakenly named .pdf, at least my issue is clarified. Thanks for your clarification, Ann.
