Hey Mario,
Please let me know what Acrobat version are you using.
Does this happen with all PDF files or any specific one? How are you trying to convert the PDF to word?
You might try repairing Acrobat and then check.
Hope to hear from you.
Regards,
Anubha

  • When I converted a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How can I solve this problem?

    When I tried to convert a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How do I solve this problem?  I don't know how to change it from Read Only.

    Dear Sara
    Thank you very much for sending the converted file.  Yes, I am able to edit it - that will be very useful to me and I appreciate your help.
    Referring to your previous message when you said you'd converted via Acrobat and not Acrobat.com, I'm converting via Acrobat.com because that's the only option that is shown (how do I convert via Acrobat? - perhaps that would be more successful).  I'm using the Export PDF website, and the OCR is enabled to "Recognize text in English UK".  However, I've just tried converting a different LPA pdf form, this time for Health & Welfare https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/245571/LPA114_He alth_welfare_LPA.pdf and again I have the same problem as before.  I've altered it from "Read only" and thought I'd then be able to enter text, but "Drawing Tools" is shown in the pane and I'm unable to enter anything onto the form - everything appears to be in images.  Also, the lettering on the heading of' page 1 has become jumbled, with the word "Public" overlaying the word "Guardian."  Any suggestions as to what it is I'm doing wrong would be welcome - I don't like to be beaten!
    Regards,
    Judith.

  • Trying to convert to word. Half the text is missing and all the pictures. Please help ASAP

    Need help converting to word. Not showing text or images

    I'm sorry that didn't work. Are you experiencing the same issue no matter what file you try to convert to Word? Or is the problem specific to one file? Knowing the following can help us get to the bottom of the issue:
    What kind of content is in the PDF: text, scanned text, images, tables, signatures (can be a problem), smudges, etc.?
    How was the PDF created and in what program: Acrobat, MS Word, LiveCycle, scanner utility, or some other application? Some applications are not as fussy about following PDF conventions. (If you don't know, you can open the file in Reader and choose File > Properties.  Look for PDF Producer, Application, and PDF Version).
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
    Best,

  • When I convert InDesign file to pdf, the background of my image is no longer transparent

    I am working with InDesign CS3, and when I place a .gif file onto the document, the background of the image is transparent, which is what I want. However, when I convert the InDesign file to a pdf, that same image shows up in a white box. Why is this happening? Is there a setting that I am missing when I convert it? Thanks in advance

    I am converting it via export, and actually it is an ai file, my apologies.
    The white box does not appear in InDesign print preview. 
    I corrected the link, but still no luck.
    I am opening the document in Adobe reader, and overprint preview is turned on.
    Keep the suggestions coming please! I really appreciate it.

  • I am unable to use safari....when I try to click out of it I am unable to do so, it is faded....when I click onto safari, I get the apple page.  Please advise.

    I am unable to open safari...the apply page automatically come on...when I try to click out of safari, I can't do it because it's not in bold black, it's faded and will not allow me to click out.  Please advise.
    Donna

    By default, www.apple.com is the page that Safari loads when starting. You can change that by clicking on "Safari" in the menu bar, then "Preferences", the "General" tab, then playing with the options and entry under "Safari opens with:" and "Homepage:"
    Not sure I'm understand the problem when you're "clicking out" of Safari...

  • When saving a document as a PDF, the text converts to symbols.  How do I correct this problem?

    English word text in a document that is saved as a PDF appears in the PDF as a series of unreadable symbols, letters, and numbers.  This happens in Adobe Acrobat 9 and X Pro.

    i take it this only happens when saving from a website?  the trick (for me) was to bring up the "print" drop down menu, select Adobe PDF, then select "preferences".  on the new dialog box, uncheck "rely on system fonts only, do not use document fonts".  then hit "okay" "apply" and "print".  it should come out correct.

  • When converting word to pdf the cover page of my documet gets page number 1.On the original the numb

    When converting word to pdf the cover page of my documet gets page number 1.On the original the number pages start from the second page.How to keep the original format?

    Michael's reponse is correct. However, as far as I knew, OFFICE 2007 came with printer metrics turned off, meaning it is not supposed to be sensitive to the printer selection. The setting is buried in the options list for compatibility. If it is turned off and a change in printer does affect the result, it would appear just one more of the many things in OFFICE 2007 that MS messed up. The latest one for me has been helping students with the messed up equation editor when you want to add equation numbers in a "standard" way. One of the MS employees even wrote a workaround macro for that problem.

  • Can you please tell me what to do when I change a file from PDF to word and it comes up with headers

    Can you you please tell me what to do when I change a file from PDF to word and it comes up with headers and footers. I do not want the headers and footers but I need the information so that changes can be made in them  - There are over 80 pages in this document and every page had a header and footer. The document did not have any headers and footers when it was first typed out.

    Good day,
    Try converting the document to a .doc format instead of .docx. 
    If that doesn't resolve the issue, please share the file with us via the File Conversion Issue form.  Be sure to reference this forum thread in your description so we can circle back on the issue.
    Kind regards,

  • When I convert a word document to a pdf, it shows up as a firefox html document

    Recently I reloaded my acrobat pro and ever since when I convert a word file to a pdf, it shows as a firefox html file.  Why?

    Hi chief grunt,
    It seems that the pdf ownership is taken over by Firefox.
    Right click on the generated file and select 'Open with' > Choose Default program.
    In the list of Programs that appear select Adobe Acrobat and click on 'Apply> Ok'
    You can also check the setting in Acrobat > Edit> Preferences> General> Defalult pdf handler

    Hi there,
    It sounds like there may be an issue with the quality of the PDF. Not all PDFs are created equal, and especially those created from scanned documents can be problematic if the scan quality isn't the best. Is there a dark background on the PDF, or stray marks or smudges?
    You can try converting with OCR disabled at outlined in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community. But, while that's a good test to find out where the problem lies, you'll end up with a Word document that isn't editable, so it's not an optimal solution.
    Please let us know how it goes.
