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.

Hi Joe ,
Could you please specify ,what exactly are you trying to install ,Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat .
Adobe Reader does not allow you to convert PDF' .It is a software meant to view PDF' only whereas Acrobat is meant to view and edit PDF'.
If you need Adobe Reader refer the following link .Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Install for all versions
If you need Acrobat perpetual license ,refer the following link Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | DC, XI, X
And If you wish to subscribe for Acrobat DC ,refer the following link .Download Acrobat DC (Continuous) | Enterprise or VIP

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 help

I created a fillable PDF form for others in the office to fill out. When I get all the forms back I need to combine them all into one Word document. I am able to Save As a docx but when I import the form into Word I get the blank form, no data comes with it. If I import it as an Object then PDF it doesn't come in full size, so I stretch it to fit and it doesn't look very good. So.....how can I import the PDF into Word that includes the data with it?

"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.
