I do not get a readable or editable PDF file that has been converted to Microsoft Word.

In the past I have been able to convert PDF files to MicroSoft Word, and Edit and Save the Documents. Now, the converted files are unreadable and uneditable. How do I correct this problem?

Thanks for the email, Stacy!
I don't have an old PDF file that I converted to MicroSoft Word, however the new file that I am trying to convert and edit is the same kind of file that I've converted and edited before; An Invoice from the same Company. Is there a possibility that a download, MicroSoft Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office System, onto MicroSoft Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 computer might be causing the problem? Should I download to (.doc) or (.docx)? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Joseph Renn Little

Hi Joseph,
I'd like to assist!
Have you tried converting one of your old PDF's that have worked in the past to see if it still works?
Are these files scanned to PDF files?
You may want to try utilizing the OCR solution.
Let me know if that works.
Looking forward to hearing back from you!
Kind regards, Stacy

How to get PDF file that has been transformed into docx into my filing system so I can work on it???

How can I get the PDF file that was transformed into a docx file into my filing system to be able to work on it and translate it as the customer requested?

THanks for your reply.
Well what happens is I bought the program. It gives you a button to click,
you log in and then a box opens up asking you to select the file, I go into
my filing system (in Windows explorer) select the file, and the program
converts it into docx, my choice. I can read it there and when I try to
copy and paste it into my file where the PDF version is saved, it behaves
like an "image", and I can't save it.... or it saves likes something you
save on the internet, so you have to go into internet every time you want
to see it. I have also pressed any amount of buttons to see if it will
give me the option to save it any other way, and have found nothing. What
I would need is a file in docx.format that I can edit. People send me
things in PDF and sometimes I can just copy it off the PDF file and save it
in WOrd, then I can translate it for them. But sometimes the PDF file
doesnt allow me to copy the text. If it is in image form, I cannot work on
it. It means printing it, so I can copy type it into Word... and for that
I certainly wouldnt need to buy a program. Its just double the work and
ends up that the job takes twice as long.!
Sorry if I am a bit dumb with informatics. But I simply could not find
any way whatever to copy the PDF file that was transformed into Word, in a
format that would enable me to edit it.
Kindest regards,
Margery

How do I edit the text in a PDF

I have a PDF document written by someone else. Using Adobe Pro X, how do I erase the text and replace it with new text?. I don't want to edit anything but the text (leaving all photos and graphs intact). Basically, the document is written in German and I wanto do through the document and replace all German text with the English translations. I am new to Adobe and I just can't figure this out. Thank you for your help.

As PDF is not a "word processing" format heavy editing such as you describe has a high probability of damaging the PDF.
While the TouchUp Text tool supports minor "touch ups" it is not designed to support word processor like content editing.
Regarding removal of PDF page content. You can use the Redaction tool for that.
Read the Help topics on this so as to use the tool properly (if you want full removal of the selected content).
You might consider use of the Text Edit feature - this supports cross-out of selected text and has an associated pop-up into which you could enter the English.
Regardless, consider making "work" copies of the original PDF as, again, more than minor "touch up" can (and often does) result in making a PDF unusable.
Be well...

How can I edit the email on a PDF form that's not created by me?

I'm a beginner for Acrobat Pro and there is an email button on the form for user to email to the previous admin, how can I change the email addres to mine? When I try to edit on forms, it asked me to click "save a copy", I really can edit and changed to email address, however when I tested it, it said this is only a data but not a form.

Tools > Content > Edit Document Text
Better yet, edit the original source document, create a new PDF, and replace the old pages with the new: Tools > Pages > Replace

How do i edit a file that has been converted to word

I have converte a pdf to a word doc. how do I get to it and how do i edit it

Hello kairle,
if I understand you in the right way you made a YourName.doc from a YourName.pdf file.
Therefore you need to open and edit the contents of this file text editors such as WORD itself, Notepad, WordPad or similar.

How can I add the date to a PDF file that always displays today's date?

I am trying to convert a word document into a PDF file. The word document has a field code for the date, but when I convert it to PDF format, the field code is not preserved.

Convert using what? Acrobat? PDF Pack? Microsoft Office?

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I repurchased Garageband and I can't get passed the complete installation. I don't seem to have the "com.apple.garageband.plist" file that has been a common solution. Any suggestions?

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I repurchased Garageband and I can't get passed the complete installation. I've read through several posts that all reference the "com.apple.garageband.plist" solution. I don't seem to have the referenced .plist. Any solutions or suggestions?

Did you upgrade from SnowLeopard?
I can't get passed the complete installation
What exactly is happening? Is GarageBand trying to download over and over again?
all reference the "com.apple.garageband.plist" solution. I don't seem to have the referenced .plist.
The property list stores your preferences, but also the settings from the last run of the application. If that file is corrupted in some way, you might see third behaviour.
You must have this file, for it will be recreated automatically, if it is missing, or you have a permissions problem with your user library.
Perhaps you did look in he wrong place.
in MacOS 10.7. or later the User Library is hidden. To find the Preferences Files use the Finder's "Go" menu:
Quit GarageBand, if it is running.
Click onto you Desktop to bring the Finder forward.
In the Finder Menu press "Go" and hold down the "option/alt" key, until your user library appears in the drop-down menu
Select "Library" and in the Finder window that opens navigate to the "Prederences" folder; move com.apple.garageband.plist to the Desktop.
Log off and on again (don't skip that step!). Retry GarageBand and see if it GarageBand is now downloading the missing content properly.
If that does not fix the problem, post back and explain in more detail what the download problem is.
Why did you "repurchase" GarageBand? If you already owned GarageBand '11, it should be unnecessary.

How do I copy the URL of a PDF file that I have opened in FireFox using FoxIt Reader add-on?

This does NOT seem to be a FoxIt question because, when I use FoxIt 5.0 as my PDF reader in Internet Explorer 8, I do not have this problem. I have encountered the problem only when using FoxIt 5.0 as my PDF reader in FireFox 4.0. The problem is quite annoying. I NEED to capture the URLs of the PDFs I view and I prefer to use FireFox as my browser. The problem exists because no destination field is displayed when FoxIt opens in FireFox. A destination field IS displayed when FoxIt opens in IE.

Another option for sending large files is to use :
http://www.filedropper.com/
You upload the files to the website and it creates
a URL that you can copy and paste into an email
which you send to the recipient and they use the
generated link to get the file.

How to save a scanned pdf file that has been rotated?

I scanned several pages of a book but I evidently did it upside-down. I rotated the pages 90 degrees, twice, and then saved the document with a different name. But when I open the new document, the pages are still upside-down. How can I correct this so that I don't have to re-scan all the pages?

Thank you. As it happens, I'm still running Acrobat 9, so the drop-down commands are a bit different:
Document > Rotate Pages allows you to rotate selected pages. It worked, and then when I saved the document and re-opened it, it was exactly as I wanted it!
What had not worked was using the Rotate Clockwise option after right-clicking on a page. That allows the user to view the rotated document but not to save it in that view.
Thanks again.
Brian

How do I fix or open a corrupted file that has been corrupted by some sort of programmatically email

How do I fix or open a corrupted PDF file that has been corrupted by some sort of programmatically emailing?
Please see the following screen shot:
http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/Athono/pdfproblem_zpsbd9bdc00.png

Well, it is a pdf file, and it once was a readable one, I suppose.
It must have data on the hex or binary level that can be retrieved.
If necessary, I will have to look into the file format of a PDF file? Is this documented?

Does anyone know how to simply edit the text in the spine of hard cover, 40 page book in the book mo

Does anyone know how to simply edit the text in the spine of hard cover, 40 page book in the book module? I can click into any other text window and edit and change attributes but I am locked out of editing text when it comes to the spine of the book. I spoke to Blurb support and they referred me to Adobe. I spent 45 minutes with support here - no one knew. I am still waiting for a call back with an answer... not holding my breath as it's been a few hours now. HELP!!!

Thanks for your reply John. I have experienced all the fiddly aspects you mentioned - these are attributes and although changing them requires the skill of a surgeon's hand - it's the actual editing of the text I can't seem to access anymore. The box just won't allow me to do anything except change attributes. Does that make sense? And it's only on the spine where I am having this issue. Puzzled! I have even rebooted the program and just now the computer - to no avail.

What is the file format of the vector you downloaded? Custom Shapes have a .PSP extension, and are placed according to this table.
Preference filenames and locations in Photoshop CC
They will then be loadable from the Custom Shapes drop down — click on the cog icon > Load shape > Find your downloaded vector.
Once placed in the image, it will appear as a Shape layer, and can be edited with the Path, and Direct Selection tools (black and white arrows on the toolbar)

How can I fix the text in my photo book that reads"your default text had not been edited. Printed books will not include this text?"

How can I fix the text in my photo book that reads"your default text had not been edited. Printed books will not include this text?"

You will get this warning, if your book includes textboxes that still include the default text, like "Insert Title". You need to find these boxes and add your own text. Look for boxes like this:
Make a PDF-preview of your book and look, where the preview differs from what you are seeing in iPhoto.

Photoshop touch can I edit the text from a psd file with that app ....

Can photoshop touch edit the text from a psd file from my iMac on my ipad with that app ....

I don't think you can because a Photoshop file (PSD) with layers will be flattened when you open up in Photoshop Touch.
I prepared a Photoshop file with one layer of image, one layer of text over a background using Photoshop CS6 on my Mac Pro and upload the PSD file onto Creative Cloud. I then open this file in Photoshop Touch (on iPad) but it comes out as a single flat layer merging all three layers. Hope this helps.
Below: 3 layers in Photoshop CS6 (with one layer of text)
