After converting PDF to word, font sometimes changes in the middle and I can't get the document all in the same font. It happened on many documents.
I am preparing a book which I want in Times New Roman. After converting from PDF files, many of the pages had other fonts, mainly Cambria in them and I couldn't get the whole document in the same font. How can I fix this?

Fix it in Word. Converting to Word from PDF is a complex and uncertain process, just the first stage in editing. But does the book only exist in PDF? Often people go through PDF because it seems easier, while often it is harder.

The music software is imesh and I have changed my homepage designation with Firefox, in my internet options for Windows. Every time I close the page, the homepage changes back to imesh search page. I have deleted imesh from my computer including going to windows explorer and deleting all imesh that I can find to no avail.
Steps to remove iMesh as your homepage:<BR>
# In the address bar, type '''about:config''' and press Enter.
# In the '''Filter''' textbox at the top, type: '''keyword.URL'''
# You will be presented with the entry for keyword.URL
# Double-click on it, delete the string and press OK.
# Exit from Firefox.
Next, you need to set the desired website as your homepage. Open Firefox and follow the instructions given in this article: [[How to set the home page]]. -
That's it. I click on the Firefox icon in the start menu and I get this spurious site popping up with a 13th birthday celebration offering prizes. The rigmarole to register for a prize is unbeleivable and it soon becomes apparent thet tis is nothing to do with Mozilla. I lost a lot of infoo and programs when Windows (XP Professional 32bit) crashed, including my Firefox installation. As soon as I downloaded and re-installed Firefox the short cut takes me straight to the unwanted rubbish!
Sounds like Malware.
Install, update, and run these programs in this order. '''''(Not all programs detect the same Malware.)''''' They are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have.<br />

Why does all alphabets change to capital when converting pdf to word using Adobe Acrobat XI
Why does all alphabets change to capital when converting pdf to word using Adobe Acrobat XI
Word 2013 uses its own pdf creator engine as far as I know. The step I performed were:
1 - In the save settings I told word to embed fonts (sorry for the language, I have the Italian client)
2 - Export from Word -> Save As -> .pdf adding also the table of contents/index
N.B. I cannot use PDF/A, and in any case it doesn't embed the font
A working solution is to use Acrobat XI to convert it or print with Adobe PDF printer, results:
The problems are 2:
1 - It doesn't create any bookmark and doesn't create links from the table of images to the linked images
2 - Images, also with the preset "High Quality Printing" customized using "No compression", are really ugly and if you zoom a bit more than 100% they totally be s**t. It wasn't that way with PDF created by word.
In the end, or I find they way to open the pdf created by word and embedd the missing font, or I find a way to make Acrobat XI creating bookmarks from the word file.
Suggestion? -
Error when I sign in to the Convert PDF to Word feature
When I sign in to the Convert PDF to Word feature, after I enter my password I get a message "An error occurred while signing in" and the feature locks up, giving the same message if I use the "convert" button, can anyone help with this. Adobe Support sent 3 emails to reset my password all of which timed out before I could get to them. I have changed my password and it is still the same. Help please.
Hello Kathie,
Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
Please let me know if you have tried converting any other PDF to word with Reader.
Alos, please sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials. Click on 'ExportPDF' tab and upload the PDF that you want to convert to Word.
Let me know if this converts fine.
Hope to hear from you.
regards,

Converting PDF to word using OCR
How do I convert a PDF file to Word format without the text changing on the Word document?
Hi IBEW45,
OCR is enabled by default when you convert a PDF to Word via the ExportPDF website. Just make sure that you're selecting the correct language for character recognition.
If you're converting to Word from within Reader, it is possible to disable OCR. If you're encountering issues where there are odd characters in the converted Word file, you may be running into font issues. A good troubleshooting technique is to disable OCR. Here are the instructions: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel.
Please let us know how it goes.

have been using convertor form more than a year now to convert pdf to word documents
have started to get message 'an error occurred while signing in'
Help please ??This email is in response to support case #0185407323 submitted by Lowell Peterson.
I keep submitting the same problem and keep getting exactly the same response, which is not helpful. My problem is this: for over a year I have been converting .pdf documents to Word by clicking on Tools with a .pdf document open in Adobe Reader, then clicking on Convert. After a brief waiting signal, I am told to download and save the document. Perfect. But recently, every time I try to do exactly the same thing I get the message that says, "An error occurred while signing in."
I have followed this advice multiple times:
Do you get that error when you try to convert a file from within Reader? If so, please try this:
Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Adobe Reader > Preferences (Mac OS).
Click Adobe Online Services on the left side.
Sign out of our Adobe ID and sign back in.
Try to convert your document again.
THIS PROCESS DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING. I JUST KEEP ON GETTING THE ERROR MESSAGE.
If you continue to have trouble, please verify that you can access the service via the web interface. To do this:
Open a browser and navigate to http://exportpdf.acrobat.com/signin.html
Try to log in with your Adobe ID (email address) and password.
Once logged in, follow the on-screen prompts to convert a file.
THIS WORKS, BUT WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THESE STEPS WHEN I AM ALREADY IN A .PDF DOCUMENT WITH A "TOOLS" PANEL TELLING ME I CAN DO IT FROM THERE. PLUS, THIS MAY BE MY STUPIDITY, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO "SAVE" THIS LINK, SO EVERY TIME I WANT TO CONVERT A DOCUMENT, I HAVE TO LOOK UP THIS ADVICE, THEN FOLLOW ALL THE STEPS. IT WAS A GREAT DEAL SIMPLER AND LESS TIME CONFUSING WHEN I COULD JUST DO IT FROM "TOOLS."
Any idea what the problem is~?? -
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. -

What are the new terms for renewal of payment for converting pdf to word?
Hi joannep59572680,
The terms haven't changed recently. ExportPDF subscriptions renew annually, unless your turn off Auto Renewal before your renewal date.
Do you have a specific concern about your subscription?

I am trying to subscribe so that I can convert PDF to word. Get so far but only options for address are in USA, I live in England
Hi golfgerald,
I'm sorry that you're having trouble subscribing. Please take a look in the lower-left corner of the Adobe.com website. Do you see "United Kingdom" listed as the region? If not, please click Change Region, and then choose United Kingdom.
Did that do the trick?

Uable to convert PDF to Word. The following error is given: "an error occured while signing in"?
Hello,
I'm sorry you're having trouble. Unfortunately, I'll have to report that the nature of a PDF file is to be uneditable and unchangeable - you may want to think of it as a printed document that's viewable on your screen. As such, it is relatively difficult to convert it to other file formats (since it's really just an image, not data). That being said, you may want to consider trying Adobe Acrobat Pro desktop software, which allows you to convert some PDF files to editable formats or to make certain changes to PDF documents. If you're using Windows, you can find a free 30-day trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 right here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/tryout.html
(Unfortunately, there is no Mac trial available at this time.)
Best of luck!
Kind regards,

Trying to convert pdf to word. A msg box is open on the right side of the screen that says, "retrieving current session status..." It's frozen. What can I do? Thanks.
Hi Dewey,
Are you trying to convert via Adobe Reader? If so, are you able to close and restart Reader (you may need to force quit, or use Task Manager to quit Reader if it's truly frozen)? After restarting, choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version.
And, if updating Reader doesn't help (or you already have the most current version), please try converting that same file using the ExportPDF web interface at https://cloud.acrobat.com.
Please let us know how it goes.
Thanks!

Hi Cowandmoon,
From within Adobe Reader, could you try opening Adobe Reader XI and choosing Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Adobe Reader > Preferences (Mac), then select 'Adobe Online Services' from the left-hand side. Click 'Sign Out...', then sign back in with your Adobe ID and password.
After this is completed, try choosing the Tools pane again from within Reader to see if you can access your subscription.
Please let us know how it goes!
Thanks,

Converting pdf to Word 2003 in Acrobat 9 Pro
I am using Acrobat 9 Pro. I want to convert pdfs to Word 2003. I have followed the instructions to export to Word, but when I get to the dialog box that selects the conversion method, I choose Flowing, which is recommended, and click OK, and I get an error message that my PDF document may be corrupt. This happens with every pdf, whether it is a form downloaded from the internet or a text document I have created myself. If I try to convert to RTF instead, it makes the "conversion", but in doing so, it creates a file containing an image that is not editable -- it does not create a plain text, editable file.
Is the problem that I am using Word 2003? Word 2003 is not on the list of file formats to which the pdf can be exported, but when I get to that screen, I choose Workshare PDF in Word (which I believe I read somewhere is the correct choice for conversion to Word 2003) as my selection and it gets me to the "conversion method" screen (which gets me to the corruption error message). Again, even if I choose rtf, I do not get an editable document.
Any ideas???Something to try -
Export the PDF to RTF.
Open the RTF file with Word Pad.
Save As (perhaps to a new filename -- 'something_bis.rtf')
Open this file with MS Word.
Not particularly surprising that the PDF you posted behaves poorly when 'worked' with Acrobat.
It is an output of Ghostscript.
Compounding the awkwardness of export is the fact that the PDF is not a Tagged PDF.
A significant raison d'etre for Tagged PDF is to support export of PDF content to a word processor application.
Be well...
