A pdf file failed to convert to word, presumably because of size.  how do i split a large pdf file into manageable secrtions?

I'm running Abode Reader XI version 11.0.7.  Repeated attempts to convert a large (439 page) file, a dissertation, failed.  How do I split a large pdf file like this into manageable sections for conversion?

Hi Mike,
Your 11MB file is well within the file-size limits for ExportPDF, but depending on the number of pages, complexity of the file (and yours doesn't sound complex), and your connection speed, it is possible that the service is simply timing out before it can finish processing. These steps can help:
If the file already contains editable text (that is, it isn't a scanned document), try disabling OCR as outlined in this this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel.
Clear the browser cache and try again.
Try a different browser.
Let's start there. If you still can't export the file to Word, let me know and we'll take it from there.
Best,
Sara

  • How do I split a large video file into seperate episodes/files?

    Hello all,
    I have a 52 minute long video that I need to split into 3 seperate files before I can edit it (so I can upload it to youtube as 3 separate episodes). I know how to split layers and do all the basic editing etcetera, but I am stumped on how to turn those split layers into separate files.
    Any help on this issue is much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    I thought of a work around that I should have thought of days ago. It can even be done in windows movie maker it's that simple.
    I will end up just splitting the original video clip and deleting the latter half of the video and saving the first clip and then reloading the original source file again and repeating the process with the following clip.
    I can include a little bit of the previous episode in the following one that way as well. Tried rendering the full 52 minute video but it ended up stuck on 99% so just stopped and I will go about splitting it in the above mentioned way.
    However, thanks for the comments both of you.

  • How do I split a Large CSV file into Multiple CSV's Using Powershell

    I am a novice at powershell but this looks to be the best tool to do this task. have a csv file that looks like this:
    Date,Policy,Application
    10/13/2014,No,None
    10/13/2014,No,None
    10/13/2014,No,None
    10/13/2014,No,None
    10/13/2014,No,None
    11/14/2013,Yes,AppBiz
    11/14/2013,Yes,AppBiz
    11/14/2013,Yes,AppBiz

    07/04/2013,No,PeopleBiz
    07/04/2013,No,PeopleBiz
    07/04/2013,No,PeopleBiz
    Is it possible to split this CSV into multiple CSV's based on "Application".
    Lets say the output might look like:
    None.csv
    10/13/2014,No,None
    10/13/2014,No,None
    10/13/2014,No,None
    10/13/2014,No,None
    10/13/2014,No,None
    AppBiz.csv
    11/14/2013,Yes,AppBiz
    11/14/2013,Yes,AppBiz
    11/14/2013,Yes,AppBiz
    PeopleBiz.csv
    07/04/2013,No,PeopleBiz
    07/04/2013,No,PeopleBiz
    07/04/2013,No,PeopleBiz
    07/04/2013,No,PeopleBiz
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    I think this might be what you want:
    Import-Csv applications.csv |
    Group Application |
    foreach {
    $_.Group | Export-Csv "$($_.Name).csv" -NoTypeInformation
    [string](0..33|%{[char][int](46+("686552495351636652556262185355647068516270555358646562655775 0645570").substring(($_*2),2))})-replace " "
    Very nice! 4x faster..
    I doubt the OP will get what you just did there..

    Hi,
    The software provided for your device does not include OCR functionality
    You may use any 3rd part OCR solution to scan as editable text.
    If you have Microsoft Office suite there is a good chance the office suite provide this kind of capabilities:
    Office 2007 or 2010:

    How can I send a large pdf file (42MB) attachment by email in Icloud ???

    That's a bit excessive.  The website http://convert.neevia.com/pdfcompress/ can compress files up to 5 MB in size. You may want to print to PDF single smaller pages, or print the document and scan it one page at a time to PDF, and then use the PDF compress tools to shrink it further.

    But generally it is never a good idea to send e-documents as email attachments.  Better use a file sharing service (Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, ..), upload the document, then send the shared download link via email.

  • How can i save a large pdf document in two parts

    how can i save a large pdf document in two parts

    i cannot figure this out, either. and i am also not able to set a custom page size to tile (in this case, tabloid/landscape). the dialog box defaults to my ppd for my epson printer (max size = letter) even when i select the drop down for "printing" to a post script file. I've been using illustrator since it's first release and i'm really surprised that this is rudimentary step in finalizing docs for release has been complicated.

    How do I output a large pdf into single pages for press?

    It is certainly a good point that, if they need the files separately, and don't even know how to use Acrobat to split it themselves, it might lead one to question their expertise in the PDF field.

    One of the available commands in the Action Wizard is Print (under the More

    it on your files to print them all.

  • File fails to convert online from a PDF to a word doc.

    I've tried multiple solutions to attempt to get my pdf. files to convert to word doc. It was working fine back in September. I have since tried the other solutions listed on the discussion board, such as signing in and out or going to the following address https://exportpdf.acrobat.com/app.html , but neither seem to work.  The latter will upload the pdf, but I receive a message saying that there was an error when trying to save the doc.
    Is there a fix for this? I paid $20 for an annual membership and this stopped working for me back in October...

    I attempted all of the following, but with no luck...
    1. Clear your browser cache (steps to do this vary by browser)
    2. Try to update your version of Flash Player by visiting: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    If you’re still having trouble after those steps, please try this:
    1. Go to this link where you can manage your Flash Player Global Settings:http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/se ttings_manager03.html
    2. Ensure the "Allow third-party Flash content to store data on your computer" option is checked.
    3. Make sure the slider is set to a value other than 0
    4. Restart your browser to accept these changes.

  • My 22 MB pdf file "Failed to export to Word."

    I have tried several times to convert a 22 MB pdf file to Word, but I receive this error message every time: "File failed to export to Microsoft Word.  There was an unexpected problem."  No further explanation is available.  I know my ExportPDF is working, because I have tested several other smaller files.  I even tried using a different browser (Chrome and IE) and home and work computers.  I checked the permissions of the document and I have all that are available.  The pdf document seems to upload OK although it takes a few minutes because it's large, but then I receive the error message.  I got the original file from an internet site (legitimate).  Any ideas?     

    Try disabling OCR with these instructions: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3062 to see if that helps.
    If it doesn't, please open the PDF in Adobe Reader and choose File > Properties.  Let us know what it says next to 'Application' and 'PDF Producer'

  • I uploaded a PDF and converted to Word but only the 1st page has been saved in the .docx file

    How do I select an individual page to convert to Word. Or why does the whole document not convert. Would be grateful for advice! (new user!)

    Hi word conversion,
    When you use the ExportPDF service to convert a PDF file, there is no way to select just an individual page (or range of pages) for conversion. So, the fact that you got just one page is a bit odd. Have you tried converting that same file more than once? If so, are the results the same each time?
    If you haven't tried a second time, please log out, clear the browser cache, and then log back in. Convert the file again, and then let us know what happens. It would also be interesting to know whether the same issue occurs with other PDF files.
    Best,
    Sara
