How can I convert a pdf file containing a scanned document?

I tried (and paid for) Adobe ExportPdf. It did not work. I get a Word-Document containing huge images. Useless.

Hello and sorry for the long delay in answering.
I have tested several pdf files that only contain scanned images.
I always selected the correct language for text recognition.
The first I tried was a Spanish document with 13 pages, converting to *.doc. The original had 3162 kB, the newly created Word document has 11836 kB. It contains only images, every page in the PDF document is an image.
Then I did a German document with only one page, it was converted beautifully into a WORD-Document.
Same for a Spanish document with only one page, it was converted beautifully into a WORD-Document.
Then I tried a again Spanish document with 18 pages, converting to *.docx. I took about 10 minutes due to my slow Internet connection. The original has 3807kB, the converted file 6559 kB. The opened converted docx-file is almost empty.
Is it possible that multiple page documents do no work?
Would you like to have a look at these documents yourself?
Thank you and best regards, AlMarsad2013

    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

    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?

    If your files are this large, ExportPDF is the wrong tool for you. You need Adobe Acrobat, which runs locally and does not need to send your files to Adobe.

  • How can I convert a PDF file in Hebrew to docx format?

    The convert options do no not cover Hebrew.

    Hey,
    Adobe ExportPDF online service does not support Hebrew PDF to get converted into Word.
    It converts PDF files containing content in various western languages, including English, French, German, Spanish, and Italian, and Japanese.
    You might need to fill the feature request form for the same:

  • How can I change a PDF file into a Word Document

    Regretfully, I am Disabled and unable to watch a Tutorial video online. So, I must use this venue to ask a simply question...Is there a way to make a PDF file into a Word Document? OR, how can I type info into a PDF file? Either answer would help me IMMENSELY!
    Thanks for your time and consideration.

    Using your Adobe ID, I believe you have one free trial on ExportPDF.
    Also, Acrobat is available as a fully functional 30-day trial.

  • How do I convert a pdf file into a word document? I have a form to fill out.

    I have a form to fill out and it is currently in pdf format I would like to change it into a word document so that I can fill it out. This document I need to be able to e-mail it out today. So any help that anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, lnquisitive.
    ExportPDF and CreatePDF will both convert a PDF to an editable Word document. I would recommend you subscribe , give it a try, and let us know if it works for you. You have 30 days to get a full refund if you're not satisfied.

  • 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.
