After I exported my PDF file to Word it will not let me edit????

Hi naomih57262273,
Could you please let me know whether you are accessing ExportPDF online service via Acrobat.com or using Adobe Reader.
Once you convert your PDF to Word, first download the converted file on your computer.
Open the Word file and click at 'Enable Editing' button on the top which would allow editing.
Please try again and then let me know.
Regards,

After i export a pdf file (written in Hebrew) to a Word document, the Word document is written in a Mirror-writing, how can i fix it?

after i export a pdf file (written in Hebrew) to a Word document, the Word document is written in a Mirror-writing, how can i fix it?

Hi,
thank you for your help.
I am using an Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.
It is not a specific file that causes trouble, it is happening with all the documents with Hebrew fonts.
I tried the "Save as" option and the same problem happened.

After I exported a PDF to a Word doc and downloaded it, I can't get the pointer tool to work.

After I exported a PDF to a Word doc and downloaded it, I can't get the pointer tool to work. When I click on the document text, the only tool is the "move" tool. I can't edit or select text. Please advise.

Version of Adobe: Adobe ExportPDF (not Pro)
Operating system: Windows 8.1
Steps I am taking: When the PDF file is selected and opened, I clicked on Tools menu on right side of the screen; then I clicked on Select PDF file; then under Convert To, I selected Microsoft Word (*.docx); then I hit the box below that; and clicked Convert. I then see the message that says it is Converting to Export PDF Online. Then I see a link below that, that says Download Converted File. This takes me online to Adobe Acrobat .com, where, I see the command, Export PDF, and see a blue box on the same screen that says Select PDF Files to Export. I click on the thumbnail of the file I want to export. This brings up, online, a screen containing the file I wanted to convert to Word. Then, on the same screen, I click on the icon on the right hand of the screen that says Download. then I click on the box on the bottom the screen that contains the Word document I had wanted to convert. This brings up the Word doc. in Compatibility Mode the latest Word version, which I am unfamiliar with and which has a Picture Tools tab that I cannot escape from and I cannot get any selection tool other that the Move pointer, and I cannot find the Select text pointer to select any text on the page. I don't want this Word version and do not know how to return to the old version of Word that I am familiar with.
Can you help me, please?

I exported a pdf file to word but i can't edit

I exported a pdf file to word but i can't edit. What am I doing wrong?

Hi hc69,
You're most likely doing nothing wrong! For starters, please try triple-clicking in the text that you want to edit in Word.
If that doesn't work, it may be that the PDF was created from a scanned page, and that OCR (optical character recognition) wasn't performed on that PDF to convert the scanned/image text to selectable/editable text. OCR is enabled by default when you convert via the ExportPDF website, but can be disabled in Reader. Please see How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community to make sure OCR is enabled.
Let's start there. If neither of those solutions work, we can take it from there.
Best,
Sara

After I have converted PDF file to Word how can I select certain pages to save them as a new document? Thank you

After I have converted PDF file to Word how can I select certain pages to save them as a new document? Thank you

You've said you have a Word file and want to use some pages in the file to create a new document.
Use Word to establish a new Word file that has the desired pages for the original Word file.
You now have a "new document" of the desired pages.
With Acrobat Standard or Pro installed you can create a "new document" PDF.
If you do not have Acrobat Standard or Pro or a subscription to an online Adobe service that can create PDF from MS Word you can use the Microsoft process to create PDF that comes with MS Word.
Be well...

Things that don't seem editable after you take a PDF file to word doc

It adds lines that can't be removed and some things are lighter grey in word whereas they were black in the PDF file. How do I fix these issues.

This is STILL not the place to discuss problems with products... you need the forum for the product you are using... Acrobat or Reader or MS Word

Hi Paul,
Welcome!
I'd like to help!
What type of document was it prior to becoming a PDF? Is it a scanned document? Perhaps a secure document?
Please provide more detail so we can troubleshoot together.
Also - here is a 'getting started' guide that may assist.
Looking forward to hearing back from you!
Kind regards, Stacy

Converting .pdf files to Word in Pro v9 for Mac

I have just purchased a copy of Acrobat Pro v9 for Mac with the idea of converting .pdf files to word documents in the correct format and for editing. When I attempt to export a .pdf file to Word (2008) or save as a Word doc or docx file, the file doesn't open and my Word program freezes. To unfreeze, I need for force quit Word and begin again. I was told that pdf to word could be done in this version of Acrobat. Has anyone had this experience?

What type Document, was it to begin with? (Text/Image)
If the PDF was a Text document, you should be able to with no problem?
IF text based and converted, try opening word first then open the document.
There is a format that Word will read called RTF (Rich Text File), that Word can read.
Try converting to RTF then try opening. When opened then save as DOC or DOCX
If it was created from a scan, Word my not open it, because it is an image (a Big Picture).
Finally, if it has a lot of images, they may not do right, and may cause a lot of problems.

Hello,
I have paid for this service for a year and it never worked on my computer. I just renewed and it finally converted the file but it will not let me edit it. I join you in being bummed. Either I get help with this or I am asking for a 2 year refund. My intention was to be able to edit a pdf in MS Word.

How to export a PDF to a word document? at the moment it came up with "The encoding (CMap) specified by a font is missing ????? what can I do? thanks

Hi frenchiem,
This is due to the PDF file cannot display the original fonts. To fix it, creator should create the PDF file with the embed font option enabled. Thus, user can open the file on any platform with the same layout. Or the Acrobat product can display them after you install the appropriate font support package on the client side.

I just bought ExportPDF. How do I convert a PDF file to Word?

I just bought ExportPDF. How do I convert a PDF file to Word?

Sara,
Apparently, I got caught in a down period of the system that handles new purchases. After a while, Export PDF did just what is was supposed to. The problem was that it didn’t know it had been paid for until the glitch was fixed, or so it seems.
The remaining problem is that while it was in the glitchy period, my profile showed no orders and no purchases. So, of course, I concluded that something went wrong when I ordered (even though I got the email confirmation), so I ordered again. Now I may get billed twice.
Is there some way to see that I’m not billed twice?
Thanks vey much.
