After converting a pdf to Word

After converting to Word (using adobe's export service), special characters appear & text is altered. What did we do wrong?

Besides Daniel's answer, you should be aware that Acrobat is not the forum for the service you are talking about. There is a separate forum for the services such as you are talking about and may be a better source of answers.

How do I convert from pdf to word? I see an option to do so, however, when I click on it, Ia box opens...

when I try to convert from pdf to word, a box opens and suggests I am to click on (select) the file I want to convert. It sounds all well but it does not work. I really really just want my files back in word, all of them, no matter, because after having to reinstall windows 7 (done by techs) and me having to re-download all my HP drivers, and tools, and other software, which I imagine included adobe reader, now I see some pdf files won't open. It says, "access denied" and boy that really makes me wantt o scream. I am the ONLY user, it is my notebook, I am the administrator so I can't figure out why some files open and some don't. I can't ascertain any difference.
I would be grateful for any help. This has become just too exhausting. After reinstalling sooooooooo much, then to have to go through this with what is a free application? I say I think not.
This should NEVER happen with any free application and boy there is NO help to be found. They blow you off the phone fast telling you it's a free application. Then why are you putting in this kind of stuff that it won't open? This is NOT a shared notebook, it's mine. I am the only user, personal use.
HP probook, if anyone needs that info.
Please, will someone help?
I would be so grateful.
thanks,
Gina

Gee, Pat, this is a real big help.
Nobody could possibly think anyone would ask for help without first trying to fix the issue oneself. Or maybe you do. I have opened the file and looked under security. I have changed it to owner-notebook (which is what the techs called me) and clicked accept but geepers it didn't work.
Maybe someone else has an idea.
Take Ownership of a File or Folder
The above should be a link. At least I copied and pasted the link. I did what was stated in there. It isn't like brain surgery. But it is not working. I ended up being able to open some pdf files after transferring them from one partition category to another. I wish it was that easy as you seem to think.
Thanks for the help. Have a great year.

could you please assist.
Thanks

Hi Sara
From the document
        When I try the file save as other, nothing happens after I click on Word or Excel Online.
        There is no way I can click on the convert button on Export PDF.
        I am logged in as you can see.
        When I go to Cloud Acrobat I can see the file there but only as a PDF.
        There is no word document there.
        As you can see I have tried this more than once.
I just don’t know what to do from there.
Hope you can help
Many thanks
Kaye

Can't convert to pdf from word

my wife uses adobe acrobat 6.0 standard with office 2003. The problem is that she can't convert to pdf from word. it works fine with an excel doc. but not a word. I did update to 6.0.1 and still nothing. There is no error message and the word document opens but nothing happens.

I have exactly the same problem. Everything was ok untill a couple of months ago then after some auto updates the pdf buttons were no longer displayed in the word documents when it is open and if you try to convert it to pdf either by dragging the word file onto Adobe or highlighting the file and right clicking on it then selecting 'convert to Adobe PDF' it doesn't work. It looks like it attempts to do it by opening the word document but then nothing else happens. The only way I have been able to get it to convert to pdf is to go into the word document, click on file then print then select Adobe PDF then save to location. This is just a complete pain to do all the time especially when I need to convert a whole load of files in one go.
Obviously the auto updates have effected it somehow but I can't work out where.
I've tried uninstalling Adobe the re-installing it but it makes no difference.
I'm using Acrobat 6.0 Standard with Windows XP Professional 2002

Converted a pdf to Word.rtf.

First time user: I just converted a pdf to Word.rtf. The lines are all off. e.g. If it says Address: ________________, then the lines are appearing in the middle or above the word and it throws everything off. Can this be fixed?? Help please

Hi Jim,
I just responded directly. Unfortunately the original PDF is from an old fax or scan. The random ink marks and blotches along with the runny font won't transfer the proper information from PDF to Word. The only thing I can recommend is to re-create the doc so you have a clean copy. As I offered - if you need a PDF of it after you have completed - I'd be happy to do that for you.
Kind regards, Stacy

Border became thicker after converting to pdf

Hi,
I am using Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional. I converted an excel sheet which consist of text, number, colored border (thin border). After converting to pdf, I have found that all the borders in the pdf file which i just created become thicker. I would like to have everything same as i do the print preview in excel. Could you please advice what are the posible problems and how to get this fixed? I am using both excel 2007 and 2003.
Thanks you very much for your time.

I converted it to pdf so I could fly it into Photoshop and change the resolution to 350 (I wish i could just do this in pages...it is a print design program right?
Adobe Photoshop is a colour correction and colour composition tool for professional photographers. You edit the pixel values of your photographs in this tool.
When you are done editing the pixel values, you embed the ICC RGB working space into your image, and place your image e.g. in TIFF file format into a pagination tool.
Apple Pages is a pagination tool, whether you work in continuous colum mode (typewriter style) or in area composition mode (typesetter style).
You use a pagination tool in area composition mode to
a. create frames for area composition,
b. flow text into the frames,
c. format the text with a typographic appearance.
You use a pagination tool in area separation mode to
a. create frames for area separation,
b. import ICC color managed raster images e.g. in TIFF format into the frames,
c. import ICC colour managed vector formats e.g. PDF format into the frames.
You then either stream directly to a printing device in
a. Adobe PostScript, or
b. Hewlett-Packard Printer Command Language
Or you save to disk for offline or online distribution in
a. Adobe Portable Document Format.
It has been possible to open PDF in Adobe Illustrator since version 6, if memory serves, and newer versions of Adobe Photoshop are also able to open PDF. There are a range of reasons for wanting to do this, one of which is to rasterise the PDF at a specified resolution. It is more difficult to open a PDF for the purpose of editing it, since in PostScript and in PDF the structure information in the form of blank spaces (kerning spaces, word spaces, spaces between columns) may be represented as move to commands.

hi when I convert a pdf to word document I get a inccorect conversion, can any one please help me

Hey nikolays87340013,
Thanks for your reply.
Please let me know what version of Adobe Reader you are using.
You might need to check for updates as well as repair installation from Reader Help menu.
While converting scanned PDF into Word, OCR runs automatically and its quality largely depends upon the quality of scanned images and clarity of characters in the PDF.
Please try the same conversion online after signing in at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf" and check if the conversion quality varies.
Let me know.

I have converted a pdf to word. How can I access the Word file from my online account? When it says 'download the converted file' I choose a location on my PC and click, but nothing happens. It seems that it can only save the converted file to my online account. I went to my online account but I see no way to look for the file

Hey Fabrizio,
You might need to sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf" using your Adobe ID credentials to convert your PDF file to Word.
Do you get the 'download' prompt?
Also, you can find the converted files by clicking at the 'Files' tab.
Please try the same using a different browser and check.
Hope to hear from you.

Look I am not looking to discuss anything all I want is to convert the PDF into word.... I thought I did and it even looked like I did ... but I can't find it... just want steps to convert pdf to word document

Hi Anna,
If you are using Adobe online service, then you need to:
Sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf" using your Adobe ID credentials.
Select PDF files to export to Word.
A pop up will come showing the download option.
Click on that and download the converted file onto your system.
You can also click on 'Files' tab to locate the converted files.
On the other hand, if you are using Adobe Reader, all you need is to sign up and convert the file to word and later download it on your computer.
