Cannot convert PDF to WORD document
Why doesn't my PDF file convert? The message states that there is an error.
It could be the PDF is secured and does not allow the conversion, though I would expected a message saying that rather than error. What is the error message? What OS and what version of Acrobat.

Hi da522811,
Are you still having trouble converting files? It sounds as though you may be trying to convert via Reader, is that correct? If so, please try logging out, and then logging back in. You may need to log out via the web interface at https://cloud.acrobat.com if you don't have access to the Sign Out button in Reader.
Please let us know how it goes.

Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard Question - Converting PDF to word document
Question: I currently have Adobe Acrobat 8. I need to convert a PDF to word document. I know how to do that but the outcome of the word document sometimes varies as to retaining the exact formatting. How can I retain exact formatting? Is there something that I'm not doing that I need to be doing in order to retain the formatting. Also do newer versions (Adobe Acrobat 11 (Standard or Pro?)) do a better job of converting and retaining formatting?
Retaining the exact formatting is not possible in practice or in theory because Word documents are nothing like PDFs. For example, Word will cheerfully reflow text onto new lines or pages, while this will never happen with a PDF.
That said, Adobe keep trying to get closer to what people need. Sometimes this results in complex parts of the file being made into an uneditable graphic or text box.
Bottom line is you can get the basics into Word and then (according to your time, experience, and the abilities of Word) you might be able to reconstruct.

Cannot convert pdf to word, then open.
I recently purchased adobe to convert pdf to word. I go through all the steps, the file is supposedly converted and saved into a downloads folder. From there I cannot open the file, or save it to another file, as is suggested. The same 'prompt' box just keeps popping up and I can never actually open the file. What am I missing?

A little more cumbersome but going to the AdobeAcrobat.com works.
Thanks for the help.
Have a great day.

Trouble converting pdf to word document with ocr
I just tried converting a pdf to a word document. I've done this successfully before. I checked the box indicating I wanted character recognition in English. The conversion I received was only a picture of the pdf file. No OCR. What's wrong?
Thanks for your reply. My file is confidential, so I tried creating a similar file, 1 page long,that wasn't confidential. I found that Adobe easily converted the similar file using OCR.
My original confidential file is 20 pages long, with 5 columns on each page. I thought maybe its length was the problem, so I tried converting only one of the pages to Word and it worked with OCR recognition. There were many, many mistakes though. Also, it wasn't possible to copy and paste the columns into a new document. When I did that, the data reorganized itself into a list format with irregular formatting--as if I were pasting in text format. It seems like the OCR process only partially worked.
I thought that maybe enough of the conversion was accurate for me to be able to work with it. when I looked at it closely I realized it wouldn't be possible.
Unlike me, my colleague has the full version of Adobe. When she returns tomorrow (Thurs.), I will see if she is able to change any of the writing on the original document to make it non-confidential. If she can, I will include a screenshot. -
Hi, I am attempting to convert a PDF to word. I had another file the exact same size and essentially the same content, but the latest file is a corrected version of the first. I need to compare the two word documents to insure no additional changes were made to the corrected copy. I had no problem converting the first document to Word format succesfully.
The PDF is 14.00 MB. My OS is Mac OS X 10.9.2, browser Safari and Firefox (I attempted to convert using both browsers.) I have Microsoft Word 2011 and am using Adobe Export PDF to convert online to a docx format. I've attemptd this approximately five times. Acrobat Distiller 10.0.0 is the producer of the PDF and the application is pScript5.dll Version 5.2.2. The error message is vague; "Conversion Faliure" is the only info provided. I would like a refund for this purcahsed product if the conversion is not successful as this project is specifically why I bought Adobe Export PDF. Thank you for any assistance that can be provided.Hi NKB37,
I'm sorry that you're running into trouble with ExportPDF. Since the issue seems to be particular to one file, I would like to suggest that you send us your original file using the following File Conversion Issue form and Adobe will take a closer look at the file.
If you'd rather proceed with a refund, please contact our chat team by visiting: https://www.acrobat.com/misc/en/contact-support.html
