Can you convert a PDF to InDesign?

I have another question: Is there any way to convert PDF files back to InDesign without downloading a converter plug-in? It seems to make sense that Adobe would have a tool for this function, but I haven't had any luck in finding it.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

You asked this question already as part of another thread. Please look there for responses.

How can you convert multiple PDF files at once to PDF/A-1b files

I support individuals who on occasion have to submit a mass of files to a court and the requirement is that the files be in PDF/A format. Most are scanned files lacking the requisite structure to become PDF/A-1a files. So as I convert or resave files, I need to be able to specify that they be converted to the PDF/A-1b standard. And since it may involve over 100 files, it would be very inefficient to do so individually, file by file. Could this be done via an Action Wizard sequence? Could a script be written in Java that go through such a process, specifically choosing a PDF/A standard? Any insights would be appreciated.

PDF/A-1a is very easy to automate in Acrobat XI Pro, indeed the compliance code was rewritten specifically with this in mind. Test Screen Name is correct that PDF/A-1b can't be realistically automated due to the complexity of tagging, but that's not your concern.
In Acrobat XI Pro, create a new Action with no functional steps in it, then add the Save step.
Click 'Settings' and change the output format to "Export File(s) to Alternate Format"
Choose PDF/A from the list. It doesn't say so, but that's A-1b.
I suggest using the file renaming feature so you're not overwriting the originals (e.g. append "_A1B")
Save the Action and run it.
Files with security, distributed forms, etc. can't be converted but the Acrobat engineering team claim that everything which can possibly be shoehorned into PDF/A will always succeed. In previous versions of Acrobat it often failed when it encountered things like iffy XMP data.

Can you convert a pdf that won't allow text to be highlighted so you can do highlighting?

I have Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard. My monthly bank statement comes as a pdf. I would like to be able to highlight parts of it such as check and deposit amounts but, although the highlighting toolbar is available, when I select a tool such as the cross-out text tool and try to highlight an item, nothing happens. Is there a way to convert this apparently uneditable type of pdf to one that will allow highlighting?

You need an app that will perform that function. There are many apps that will do this, the most powerful being Adobe's Acrobat Pro, it's not inexpensive however that is what it is designed to do. If you want to just do some light annotations Preview (which you already have) will do this, however if you want to edit every aspect Acrobat Pro is tough to beat.
I would recommend using the Mac App store to begin shopping, you will probably find some middle ground app that will do what you need.

Can you convert a .pdf file to a Muse web page

We have a nicely formatted brochure in .pdf format. Instead of trying to painstakingly recreate it in Muse, or just put a boring hyperlink to the .pdf, I'd like to be able to import that .pdf directly as it's own page in Muse. Is there any way to do this?

PDFs are appearance-centric. even if there were a way to import it in Muse there is no guarantee that even the most complicated CSS formatting could retain your formatting. That said I see zero to none requirement for such a feature, as most people will have access to the editable source files and adapting static content to the needs of the web is just as much part of the workflow as making it look nice.

How can I convert a .pdf file to an Indesign CC file which is editable?

How can I convert a .pdf file to an Indesign CC file which is editable?

Hi btacme,
I understand there are some third-party utilities that will allow you to convert a PDF to an InDesign file. But, as PDF is intended to be a final format, Adobe doesn't offer this capability. Are you unable to make the edits that you need by opening the PDF in Acrobat?
Best,

Can you have a PDF fit on the viewer's screen automatically when exporting from InDesign CS4?

Can you have a PDF fit on the viewer's screen automatically when exporting from InDesign CS4?

If you were to upgrade to InDesign CS5 or CS5.5 and if you exported as Adobe PDF (Interactive), you could set the View settings for Page Layout and Zoom.
While, as Jongware points out, its possible for individual users to override that option (Preferences > Page Display > Default Layout and Zoom), the number who will actually do that is actually very tiny.

I don't think that Adobe offers any software to convert .azw4 files. Search Google for alternate converters.

How can I convert a pdf to OSX10.8 so I can submit a manuscript to the itunes store. I have a windows computer only.

How can I convert a pdf file to an OSX.10 so I can submit a manuscript to the itunes store?

Perhaps you want to submit an "ePub" to iTunes?
If so then revisit the authoring files for the manuscript and go to ePub from there.
Getting to ePub from PDF is really rather awkward.
Lotsa "use me", "use me" software that purports to solve this; but, really, it doesn't.
So, again - - authoring files to ePub.
One example: use Word and Calibre.
Might groom with Sigil.
Pipe out the finalized ePub to iTunes.
Do the Snoopy dance.
Be well...

How can I convert a PDF file in a CVS format in order to download this in a budgetprogramme on my computer?

Try converting your PDF file to an Excel (.xlsx) file with the ExportPDF service. You can then use Excel to save that file as a .CSV file. ExportPDF does not output .csv

I just noticed that you added a few more details and it seems like the problem is that part of the conversion is not working. Would it be possible to share the file with me so that I can forward it to the team that owns that service? My email address is [email protected]
Thanks!

I have payed for Adobe acrobat pro but now i can not convert a pdf document to a word format, why?

I have payed for Adobe acrobat pro for one year and it is valid to november 2015, but now i can not convert a pdf document to a word format, why ?

Hi m_karhulinna,
If you have Acrobat Pro, you can save directly to Word format from within Acrobat by choosing File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document.
(It sounds like you may be trying to use the ExportPDF online service, which is separate from Acrobat, and not necessary in your case.)
Best,

Can't convert to pdf from word

my wife uses adobe acrobat 6.0 standard with office 2003. The problem is that she can't convert to pdf from word. it works fine with an excel doc. but not a word. I did update to 6.0.1 and still nothing. There is no error message and the word document opens but nothing happens.

I have exactly the same problem. Everything was ok untill a couple of months ago then after some auto updates the pdf buttons were no longer displayed in the word documents when it is open and if you try to convert it to pdf either by dragging the word file onto Adobe or highlighting the file and right clicking on it then selecting 'convert to Adobe PDF' it doesn't work. It looks like it attempts to do it by opening the word document but then nothing else happens. The only way I have been able to get it to convert to pdf is to go into the word document, click on file then print then select Adobe PDF then save to location. This is just a complete pain to do all the time especially when I need to convert a whole load of files in one go.
Obviously the auto updates have effected it somehow but I can't work out where.
I've tried uninstalling Adobe the re-installing it but it makes no difference.
I'm using Acrobat 6.0 Standard with Windows XP Professional 2002
