Randolph Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 When importing PDF files with significant mathematical content, turn off "Favor editable text over fidelity" and "Group lines of text into text frames." This much reduces your chances of getting scrambled mathematics. You can then assemble the text into editable regions manually. If you have a document that contains both extensive text you need to edit as well as extensive mathematics, consider doing both imports, and then moving pages from the less scrambled one into the one with editable text. Another useful technique if you are a Mac user: the macOS "preview" app, which is among other things a PDF viewer, correctly read and export the mathematics in my document, and Publisher imported the resulting document without fuss. Unfortunately, preview's export left me with the pages all 8½ × 11 inches in size, and these had to be cut down in Publisher. So I'm doing individual pages when I need to.
