ALL MY DESKTOP APPS CONVERTED TO PDF FILES.

After sending an urgent email attachment in Adobe PDF to Government Offcom, all my Desktop applications in windows 7 64 bit have been converted to PDF files and cannot be opened.   The attachment used was sent to me by my Secretary remotely using an old MAC.
I can return my laptop to normal operation by un installing my Adobe Reader 11 app, but the problem returns when I re Download Adobe Reader
11 again.     After discussing this with Adobe Technical in London they advised me to raise this issue with your Adjudicators in this Forum.
Please assist asap as this is very urgent right now for several genuine reasons.
Many thanks.   Derek Horder.

Which service did you subscribe to? Adobe PDF Pack?

How can I convert .pdf file to .doc using the free adobe reader app? when I try to convert the .pdf file it asks me to sign in. when I click on "sign in", I am taken to a service subscription page. So, no free conversions using free adobe reader app?

As has been mentioned Adobe Reader cannot export PDF page content. Nor can it create PDF or manipulate PDF page content.
What you can do is use one of Adobe's online subscription services. Two provide for PDF to Word export.
There's ExportPDF and PDF Pack.
Be well...

Hey Jean Wood,
Please let me know whether you are using Adobe Reader or signed up at https://cloud.acrobat.com/.
Also, try converting any other PDF file to word and check what happens.
Have you downloaded the file first onto your computer?
Hope to hear from you.

How do i convert a pdf file to a word doc in order to make changes

How do I convert a pdf file into a word doc in order to make chnages?

You need Acrobat and can then use File --> Save As... --> Microsoft Word. Just don't expect miracels. PDFs aren't meant for editing and you may end up with clumps of text and lose all formatting and may have to rebuild the document completely.

How do i convert a PDF file in word that is written in Hebrew is that possible?

Before I sign up for the paid version of PDF - I would like to know if it is even possible to convert a PDF file with Hebrew fonts into word ? And be able to change the words and what is written after the conversion in WORD???? Thank you!

Is this a scanned document? To check, try and copy/paste text from the document using Adobe Reader. Do you get
- nothing at all (nothing selected)
- the Hebrew you want
- mangled Hebrew (wrong order, wrong accents, wrong letter forms?)
- complete rubbish characters?
The answer to this may help us understand whether ExportPDF will work for you.

How to convert a PDF file into a full editable WORD file?

Hi,
I tried to convert a pdf file into word but it is not fully editable. I can edit the title from the main page and that's it. The rest of the word document is saved as image. I tried editing teh pdf file but that one is not working either.
Please help on how to convert a PDF file into a full editable WORD file.
Thank you

Not all PDF files are created equal. When a PDF file is created with Adobe Tools it is usually "tagged" with information about the fonts the images, the layout etc... This way when the PDF is saved to a new format like PPT or DOC then the results are usually usable. However, if you have a PDF file that was not tagged for some reason then run the Accessibility tools on the PDF to acquire some basic tagging. This may get you a better result. Also if you have a PDF that is an image, then you may want to run OCR on it.

I am trying to convert a pdf file from the Government Website.

I am trying to convert a pdf file from the government site, it is a divorce petition item d008-eng.docx. Whenever I do the transcript is all over the place. Any suggestions?
I have only bought the software to do this one thing and it failed.

If you use Reader XI you should be able to save it. You should also be able to save the form with Acrobat. However, the form name you gave is a docx file, not a PDF. So it is not clear what you are asking. If it were a PDF form as I would have expected, your questions would have made more sense.
Did you buy Acrobat? If so, are you trying to convert to docx or what. I really do not understand your question. I did find an 8 page PDF of the form (assume it is the same). If you have Acrobat, just start filling it out and save at any stage. I do not see any need to convert it to docx. There are no restrictions on the form for saving or such, so I do not see why you say you can not save your input. If you bought Reader, you got ripped off. If you bought Acrobat there should be no issues with saving. If you use Reader XI there should also be no issues with saving the PDF. So, I do not see the point of your question, sorry.

Hi there,
It sounds like there may be an issue with the quality of the PDF. Not all PDFs are created equal, and especially those created from scanned documents can be problematic if the scan quality isn't the best. Is there a dark background on the PDF, or stray marks or smudges?
You can try converting with OCR disabled at outlined in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community. But, while that's a good test to find out where the problem lies, you'll end up with a Word document that isn't editable, so it's not an optimal solution.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara
