"Save As failed to process this document. No file was created." Error trying to convert pdf to word document

Hi - I have a pdf created from indesign as a print quality pdf. The client now wanted to text in an editable format so they can reuse the content for a new years event.
I get an error message "Save As failed to process this document. No file was created."
Can anyone help out here? There are a lot of graphics in it and it is horizontal - could any of this be an issue?
Thanks
Nikola

Totally agree. Saving the pdf as a word file gives it the look of a word file, until corrections have to be made. The text flow will be, so to say, "strange". Reusing that file in Indesign ...
We always save as rtf, send that one back and relink it afterwards (as long as the styles stay the same, only smaller corrections have to be made.

What's the problem?
Any help in finding a solution is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Installed AcrobatXI PRO 11.0.09 on seven computers and laptops. Two of them gives an error when you try to save a document in WORD, EXCEL, Power Point, or when exporting to... error: Save failed to process this document. No File was created.
But all good saves in the format of TXT and jpg.
I have uninstalled and restored and re-installed and updated and registry cleaned and removed using the special utility Cleaner Tool for Acrobat, but nothing helps.
On one notebook with Windows 8.1 and Microsoft office 2013, on another laptop with Windows 7 and Microsoft office 2010, the same problem, although there are computers with Windows 7 and Microsoft office 2010 and everything works.
Tell me where to find the problem and how to solve it.
Thank you.

Save as failed to process this document. No file was created.

I've had Adobe Acrobat XI installed on my computer since November of 2013 and had never had any problems with the 'Save As' function - I could save all kinds of PDFs to Word, Excel, Power Point -- whichever format I needed -- until yesterday. Now I am suddenly getting "Save as failed to process this document. No file was created."
I also have the exact same set up (Windows 8, 64, Adobe Acrobat XI) on my laptop and have no issues w/ the "Save As" feature. To make sure that it is just my desktop's Acrobat that is acting strange, I took the exact same document and was NOT ABLE to "Save As" on desktop -- and was, with no issues, able to "Save As" the exact same document to Word on my laptop.
The ability to "Save As" is a feature that I use often -- so, please, tell me how I can get that feature back. I've already tried the "Repair" feature in Acrobat - no luck.

Hi Bill,
Yes - I did the upgrade - which I was avoiding because last time I upgraded, the font and icons within Adobe Acrobat became microscopic -- so I did a 'system restore' and turned off my updates. I have old eyes & work with Adobe Acrobat all day -- so the tiny print is horrible.
So, now I can either NOT be able to see the fonts and have the ability to convert to Word/Excel, etc OR, I can revert and actually SEE the fonts - but not be able to convert the documents I need to convert. This sucks.
Adobe Acrobat XI upgrade (11.0.06 and .07) has really been a disappointment. I've done all the little tricks about trying to fix the size of the fonts - but, just like most of what I've read, I can either have HUGE fonts/menus, etc or make it 'readable' by changing the registry - but then end up w/ horrible little icons.
It's really sad to have to choose one or the other - I'm very disappointed in Adobe.
Thanks for your input!!

Hi bert090909,
Are you trying to convert your files from within Adobe Reader? If so, please make sure that you have the most current version by choosing Help > Check for Updates. Earlier versions of Reader could cause the specific error that you're reporting.
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.
On no account convert official forms to Word.

I get an error message when trying to convert to a word document

i get an error message when trying to convert to a word document

Its with the ExportPDF online service.
This is a snip of what it looks like:

Adobe Acrobat DC - Save As failed to process this document. No file was created

When exporting a pdf to any of the file formats in the Export Menu (Microsoft Word, Spreadsheet, Microsoft PowerPoint, etc) except for the Image format, the error mentioned in this title comes up and no file is created.
This has happened to me since the XI version and was hoping that with the update to DC this issue would have been solved by now, since there is no posted solution anywhere at all.
I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything, even tried creating PDF/X compatible files and executing various Preflight tasks as well. This happens with every file, no exception, from the most basic one-liners with text only to every other document I have attempted to export.
Please help, apparently the only remaining alternative would be to completely format the hard drive an reinstall everything from scratch (not even from a Time-Machine or comparable backup).
Thanks in advance.
Luis Herrero.

Hi Rave,
Thank you for your message.
I tried what you suggested and did not work either.
It still is throwing the same error.
Any other ideas?

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.

Converting PDF to word document

Why does the document seem corrupted? Unable to type in some blanks, font is random throughout, etc.

Hi Melonie,
I'd like to assist!
Have you tried this solution: OCR
Also, it will generally depend on the integrity of the original document before it was converted to a PDF. If it is a scan that has ink marks and text that isn't viable for the converter to read, then that can be an issue.
Let me know if this helps!
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Kind regards, Stacy
