Cannot convert pdf file to Word using Adobe ExportPDF online...I get a timeout error after a wait of about 15 minutes

Oh...BTW...I am using Windows 7 with Chrome browser and I disabled text recognition. The file is 3.7 MB. It says it failed because it is taking too long to process however the Adobe export PDF notes that it can convert unlimited files to Word or Excel files. Anything else I can try? I exported it to Adobe.com and tried toconvert it there but it looks like the same process...and with the same result.

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

Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT

Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT and other MS office apps. Reinslalled Adobe, updated Office, and Adobe no help! Also I can create a pdf from the MS Word and it is using the Adobe 9. So one would think that's good. No it isn't when you need to combine different files to one big PDF document. Any suggetions? Thank you

Yes, I’m saying that I can in WORD use “Save As ADOBE pdf” but cannot in ADOBE create a pdf file from a WORD (.doc or .docx) document. While I can from other MS Office apps like Excel and PowerPoint.
I understand I can use “work around” and save doc in WORD as pdf then compile all files needed (xml, ppt, pdf) in the ADOBE v9. to one big pdf document. But that is not the point of this post.

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...

Cannot download .pdf files and word docs from KM using Web Dynpro

Dear Portal Gurus,
Using KM API, I am trying to download, documents from KM in my Web Dynpro Application. But .pdf files and word docs with screenshots are not getting retrieved from KM. Word docs opens with no content and Adobe opens with an error saying "Either it is a damaged file or It is not a supported file".
I am using the following KM service to download the content.
public byte[] retrieveResourceInBytes(String strRid){
///// after a few lines ////
     if (this.loggedOnUser.isAuthenticated()) {
// create a resource context with the authenticated user
     rContext = new ResourceContext(this.loggedOnUser);
// create a RID to handle a resource
      aRid = RID.getRID(strRid);
          try {
          // get an instance of a resource factory
                 final IResourceFactory aResourceFactory = ResourceFactory.getInstance();
// retrieve a folder/file with context
                                             aResource = aResourceFactory.getResource(aRid, rContext);
     if(aResource.isCollection()) {
                                                                  aResource = (ICollection) aResource;
                                                  IPropertyMap objIPropertyMap = aResource.getProperties();
                                             IMutablePropertyMap objIMutablePropertyMap =objIPropertyMap.getMutable();
                                             objHashMap = new HashMap();
     if (aResource != null) {
                                                                     IContent oldContent = aResource.getContent();
                        InputStream objInputStream=oldContent.getInputStream();
             byte[] theBytes = new byte[objInputStream.available()];
             objInputStream.read(theBytes);
                    return theBytes;
     } // catches all the exceptions here///
Could you please advise if I am doing something wrong else could you please advise me for any corrections which would help?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Zeena

Hi,
Which web browser are you using to view the PDF? Safari 5.1.8
When you open the PDF in Adobe Reader add-in you will either see a floating toolbar

or a normal toolbar

both the toolbars have save button, use the button to save the file locally. I do not see these toolbars. I do, however see this
and it works! Thanks
Hope this will help you.
Thanks

Is it no longer possible to convert pdf file to Word free in Reader X (and later)?

I really don't want to have to pay a subscription fee to be able to convert pdf files to Word documents. In my work, this need comes up frequently with scanned & emailed documents, but since upgrading it appears that it is no longer a free feature. Thanks.

If it worked before but doesn't work after you "upgraded" then, you upgraded the wrong thing.
You "may" have had Adobe Acrobat before but now you have Adobe Reader which cannot do what you want.
Look around in your program files. Reader should not have removed Acrobat if that's indeed what you were using.

Hi Irenedix,
If you are using Acrobat you can try the suggestions mentioned above.
Are you using the Create PDF service from within Reader to create pdf?
If yes then please check if you are able to login to: https://cloud.acrobat.com/convertpdf with your Adobe ID and able to convert the document to pdf.
If yes then within Reader you can try the following:
Choose Edit > Preferences (Win)
Click 'Online Services' or 'Adobe Online Services' on the left-hand side
Sign out of your Adobe ID and sign back in.

Rave

"file failed to be converted using Adobe ExportPDF online"

I have been getting errors for about a week when trying to convert a PDF to a word document. In Acrobat I get the error "File failed to be converted using Adobe ExportPDF Online" and when online using ExportPDF I get a conversion failure.
Please help.

Hi PeterChick,
Does it occur with all files or a specific file?
Are you trying to convert from within Reader or from Browser?
If from Reader then make sure you are signed in within Reader, also try updating Reader to the latest v11.0.09 and check.
If from Browser then have you checked with a different browser if possible?
Regards,
Florence

Converting to Word using Adobe ExportPDF

I have recently installed Adobe ExportPDF and used it to convert some files to Word. I find now that when I receive a PDF file it opens a Word dialog box headed File Conversion - Select the encoding that makes your document readable. All the options result in hieroglyphics! All I want to do is to be able to receive PDF files and open them as PDF files. I only need to convert PDF files to Word or Excel very occasionally. Can you help please.

Sounds like your file associations got messed up. Could you try this:
Right-click a PDF file and choose 'Open with...'
Select Adobe Reader from the list of available or recommended programs
Check the box that says 'Always use this program to open this file type'
Click 'Ok'
Let us know if you continue to have trouble.

Need help with converting PDF files to word document.

When attempting to convert PDF files to word document, after clicking on "convert" a message "error occurred while signing in" displays. Don't know why??? I'm logged into my account and haven't been able to convert documents.

Assuming that you try to use the ExportPDF service, I am moving your topic to the ExportPDF forum.
Just for completeness, can you post your operating system, browser, and Adobe Reader version?

Unable to convert PDF file into word document

I just signed up with Adobe in order to convert a PDF file into a word document and it continues to fail. Any suggestions.

If you have adobe X, simply go to "File" -> "Save-As" and Microsoft Word is an option. Also, there is a download (paid) called Able2Extract that will allow you to convert pdfs to word, excel, etc. but the formatting is often lost. If you get the premium package, you can even convert scanned documents. I've used Adobe X to do the conversion, and it retains headers, footers and all formatting.
And i personally share you with a article about how to converting PDF files to Word(.doc), you just need to follow the easy guide.
Hope it can help you a lot.
