Converting scanned PDF into Word document?

Can you convert a scanned document that comes out as a PDF into a Word document and if so, how do I do it?  So far using Mac OS10.8 I get a blank document.

Open the PDF with Acrobat (Pro or Standard).
Perform OCR of the scanned image of textual content.
Save.
Use Acrobat's Save As (pre-Acrobat 9) or Export feature to output to Word.
Be well...

    Hi Sara
    From the document
            When I try the file save as other, nothing happens after I click on Word or Excel Online.
            There is no way I can click on the convert button on Export PDF.
            I am logged in as you can see.                                                                               
            When I go to Cloud Acrobat I can see the file there but only as a PDF.
            There is no word document there.
            As you can see I have tried this more than once.
    I just don’t know what to do from there.
    Hope you can help
    Many thanks

    Hi Michelle ,
    We are extremely sorry that you have had a bad experience with Adobe .
    As far as your issue is concerned ,Acrobat generally prompts for internet connection as it is required to activate the product before you could use it comfortably .Once the product is activated or licensed you would be able to use the software offline .
    This could be the possible reason you are experiencing this .Please check if you have done so and still facing this .And if you have not ,you need to license/activate your product by typing in your credentials ,i.e Adobe ID and password .
    You could also refer the following link to get updated about the activation of your product .

  • Convert SAPScript output into Word document (.doc)

    Hi,
    I want to convert the output of sapscript into the word document. Will u pls. suggest the appropriate way to achieve it.
    We have a Function Module which converts the ouput in to the PDF and RTF format. Is dere a possibility to convert it into the DOC file.
    Thanks,
    Hitz

    hi ,
    Use ABAP program: RSTXSCRP
    It will download and upload your sapscripts as a text file in your local harddisk.
    when u execute that program ,one screen appears.there u have to enter the directory path and the name of the upload or download file. Use the naming conventions of the file system where the file is located.
    File system Example
    Windows, DOS d:\tmp\text.rtf
    Unix /usr/sap/c11/SYS/global/text.rtf
    When uploading, the data in the file is transported into the SAP System. When downloading, the data is stored in the file by the SAP System.
    If you are working on a PC, enter a file that is located on a hard disk or a disk of the PC.  If the PC is connected to a network, or if you are on a workstation, you can specify a file on a remote disk.
    and for converting the output in to PDF format use the function module CONVERT_OTF.
    u can use these function modules to convert the script.
    SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF Conversion From OTF to PDF (SAPScript conversion)
    SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PRT Conversion From OTF to Printer Format (SAPScript conversion)
    SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_RAW Conversion From OTF to ASCII (SAPScript conversion)
    i think  there is no such function module to convert script out put into DOC format.
    Reward points if useful.
    Thanks,

  • I converted a PDF to Word Document with Barcodes #39 on them.  The barcodes didn't convert.  Why?  Is there anything I can do?

    I converted a PDF to a Word Document with barcodes #39 on them.  The barcodes didn't convert?  Any ideas???

    Hey,
    There might be a quality-specific issue as the conversion of PDF file comprising of barcode depends upon the quality of the document as well.
    The better is the quality, more accurate can the file get converted to Word.
