Any way to help me convert PDF format to word(.doc) on Mac

Hi,guys.Is there any one tell me how to convert PDF to word on Mac?
I am a middle school teacher.Recently I have a download some PDF file need to transfer to word as material for my working.As I use Mac OS has been doubly difficult for me,beacuse I am not familiar with mac system.
So any idea helpfully would be appreciated.

There is a very simple method and doesn't require new software.
Open a new Word document
Open the PDF in Preview (i.e., double click or right click and open with ... Preview)
Using the TEXT tool (button labeled "A') highlight the text you want to copy, then copy (i.e. Edit ... Copy, or right click .... Copy, or Command+C)
Paste the text into a Word document, and it will be editable.
If you want to copy the entire contents, you can use Command+A to select all contents, then copy and paste to Word document.
Preview actually works much better than Acrobat Professional in this respect because you don't carry over junk code from PDF.

I bought your program to convert PDF files to WORD doc. files. I did this and when I send the files as an attachment to recipients the recipients say the attachment is blank! I want a refund!!

I bought this Adobe program to convert PDF files to Word doc. files so I could e-mail them as an attachment to people who do not have Adobe Reader. When the people got my e-mail with the attachment and opened it. The attachment was BLANK!! Is there a way to correct this?? or should I just get my money back and cancel this program?

Hi bogy,
How very frustrating! I'm sorry that your email attachment was blank. I'm sure this is a silly question, but did the Word file display as expected on your own machine? If not, then the issue is quite likely with the conversion from PDF to Word (but what you describe isn't a common issue that we're hearing about).
If it looks OK for you, then I suspect the issue lies outside of ExportPDF. If the Word doc is blank when you open it, then please tell me a bit more about the PDF that you're trying to convert and we will take it from there.
Best,
Sara

Hi karenb60536875,
There are some PDF types (such as those that are password-protected) that can't be converted. But when that's the case, you'll get a message during conversion, and the conversion will stop. It doesn't sound like that's the case for you.
What happens when you open the converted Word document in Word? Do you see an Enable Editing button at the top of the document? If so, please click that. If you're still unable to select text in the Word document, try triple-clicking to select it.
For reference, I will say that the quality of the conversion depends on the quality of the PDF (see Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community). So, there may be cases where a PDF written by a third-party application (a non-Adobe app), may not be written to spec, and that can affect the accuracy of the conversion.
Best,
Sara

Need help with converting PDF files to word document.

When attempting to convert PDF files to word document, after clicking on "convert" a message "error occurred while signing in" displays. Don't know why??? I'm logged into my account and haven't been able to convert documents.

Assuming that you try to use the ExportPDF service, I am moving your topic to the ExportPDF forum.
Just for completeness, can you post your operating system, browser, and Adobe Reader version?

Convert PDF Image to Word Doc

I am having trouble converting PDFs with images. The wording shows, but the images show distorted and jumbled. I have also tried turning off the OCR and that only gives me all black pages. The whole point in purchasing this was to convert my PDFs with the images. How can I fix this?

Hi abitocd,
Do you know how the PDF files were created? The quality of the PDF determines the quality of the conversion, so it could be that the PDFs aren't well-formed, and therefore, won't convert well. Can you please open one of your PDF files in Reader or Acrbat, choose File > Properties, and then note what the PDF Creator is? That may give us some insight into why your PDFs are converting the way that they are.
Best,
Sara

Converting pdf to editable word doc

Does anyone know if you can convert pdf files back into an
editable word document? If so, how?
Thank you.

Hello Murphy#1,
Thanks for your post.
Converting PDF to another file type is outside of the scope
of Acrobat.com's functionality. Of course that doesn't mean the
operation can't be done!
I performed a
Google
search for PDF to Word and saw a few options.
You may consider looking one or more of these.
Or if you'd like, you could ask this question over on the
Acrobat forums, as some users there may be performing this type of
workflow as well.
Acrobat
Pro Forums
Give some of those suggestions a try!
Cheers,
Pete

Please Help with Converting PDF document to Word Document

I have downloaded our PDF document to be converted to a word document --- it did not work correctly--we need help with this

Good day Scott,
I received your document via our File Conversion Issue form. The root of the problem you're facing is the quality of the scan. I'm not sure if you were starting with a poor quality hard-copy or simply low DPI settings on your scanner, but the reason the results you received were so different than the PDF was the quality of the input.
If you're hard copy looks clearer than the PDF file you created, I would suggest increasing the resolution settings on your scanner.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Kind regards,
David

Unable to convert PDF file into word document

I just signed up with Adobe in order to convert a PDF file into a word document and it continues to fail. Any suggestions.

If you have adobe X, simply go to "File" -> "Save-As" and Microsoft Word is an option. Also, there is a download (paid) called Able2Extract that will allow you to convert pdfs to word, excel, etc. but the formatting is often lost. If you get the premium package, you can even convert scanned documents. I've used Adobe X to do the conversion, and it retains headers, footers and all formatting.
And i personally share you with a article about how to converting PDF files to Word(.doc), you just need to follow the easy guide.
Hope it can help you a lot.

Is there a way to change PDF files to Word Doc on my iPad? I subscribed to it.

I just subscribed the converting PDF file to Word doc. But I would like to use my iPad for this. Does anyone know how to do it?

For starters, you can take a look at the Help document in Adobe Reader for iOS.
Go to Reader's home screen.
Tap Help (in the lower left corner).
Tap Handbook (in the right pane).
Select "Acrobat.com and the Cloud".
The page describes various operations (Logging in, Exporting PDFs, etc.).
Please let us know if you have any specific questions.

PDF converted to a messy Word Doc, why is it so

I just purchased PDF converter and tried to convert pdf to a Word doc and half of the document was jumbled up, I restarted my computer and did it again and the same thing happened. Does anyone know why this is happening, there is no point having the converter if I have to make up a whole new document

Hi Sonia,
I'd like to assist!
Would you mind telling me more about your PDF? What type of document was it prior to becoming a PDF? Are there any graphics or pictures? Was it scanned?
Looking forward to hearing back from you!
Kind regards, Stacy

I'm wondering if there is any way to view the results of the form other than in a table? Is it possible to print responses one by one in PDF format, or word, etc? I'd like to create a form for proposal applications, and the spreadsheet format results are nearly unusable for this type of form.

Hi Nalani500 ,
Yes, you can print the response in a PDF by following the steps suggested below.
1) Go to the response file
2) Select the response you want to print
3) Click on Save as PDF button and it would save the selected response in PDF format.
Thanks,
