Can't edit converted document

Once i have converted the file it will not allow me to edit. It is converting in a read only format.

Hi Rebecca,
Is this a document that you can share? If so, I would be happy to take a look at it.
How was the PDF created? Did it start as a scanned document, or contain handwriting, for example? Please see Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community. If the PDF was created by a third-party application (not an Adobe application), it may not have all the information necessary to ensure an optimal conversion to Word.
Best,
Sara

Can´t edit a document created on a Mac

A person creates a document in Indesign on a Macintosh. When I should open the document in Incopy on a pc, I get the message that there are a lot of fonts that isn´t available in the system. And I can´t edit the document. What can I do? Is there any solution to this problem?

Install the proper fonts.
I highly recommend opentype fonts for crossplatform work.

Hi jwt32068,
In order to help you.
Please let me know which application/Service of Adobe you are using.
You may be able to do that depends on quality of scanned document using Acrobat Pro.

Editing converted document

How do I edit a Word document converted from pdf and save to another file on my computer?

Hi slocante,
Do I understand correctly that you've already used ExportPDF to convert a PDF file to Word format? If so, what happens when you try to edit the file in Word (and what version of Word are you using)? It may be that the PDF was created from a scanned document, and that the image text wasn't converted to searchable/selectable text (by a process called OCR, or Optical Character Recognition).
However, OCR is enabled by default when you convert via the ExportPDF website. So, provided that the correct language was selected for OCR, then you should have selectable text in your Word doc.
I look forward to hearing back from you with a few more details about the problem you're running into in Word.

Can I edit&see documents Using Web Interface?

Hi,Guys:
As we know,we can edit attachement such as Excel/Word/Text/PPT file to our planning data,but anybody can tell me how can I do this by Web Interface?

Hi,
you need just to activate the iobjs you used to be document enable in BW (RSD1). Then in BPS Web Interface Builder, Insert web Component: Document type and Layout Type. In Document Property define for which layout the document shall be. In Layout define the Cell Selection with Line or row.
Generate it and you have your BPS Web document.

If I receive a document as a PDF or WORD Doc in an email, can I edit them. As in, if the doc is a template, how do I open it and fill the template in?

Can I edit a document that was sent to me, like a template? I cant seem to figure out how to do this, I am a new MAC user

If you look in App Store you will find Apple's own Pages which can read, edit, and export Microsoft Word compatible .DOC or .DOCX files. There is also another interation of the previously mentioned OpenOffice which is NeoOffice, NeoOffice uses the same open source kernel as OpenOffice, but wraps it in a Cocoa wrapper which provides access to virtually all of OS X's file and data managment features and is one of the fastest office suites avaiable for the Mac.

How can I best edit word documents that have been emailed to my iPad?

I regularly receive word documents from work, via my yahoo email account. I have two questions really.
1) Can I edit word documents received via email?
2) If this is possible, what is the best way to do this?
Thanks in advance

Sorry, yes. When I asked "how do I transfer it to Pages for editing?" I perhaps should have made it clear that I have purchased it. I can also create documents in it and send them as a Word document to others via email.
Could you clarify "When you get the email, click on the Word Document to view it." The email appears in the Inbox list but does not show an attachment in the same way it does on my Mac. If I tap the email, it opens and reveals the contents including the Word document contents. At what point am I looking for an arrow - in the email list or in the opened and readable Word document?

Word Web App can't open a document (corruption) but Word Desktop can

Hi,
My team and I are currently working on integrating a custom WOPI-Host and everything is going pretty good. While testing out different documents that will be used in the system to see the supported features and the reaction of Word Web App we found
a document that is problematic.
First things first, we took a document that was in Word 97-2003 version (.doc) and converted it in Word Documents (.docx). We had to actually use the Word Desktop Convert functionality because using "Save As" wouldn't work. We found
out that the document had Custom XML Data which was the reason that the "Save As" didn't work. So we did 2 version of the document in docx version. One that kept the Custom XML Data and one that didn't have it.
Now when we try to open the documents in the Word Web App, both trigger the same error: "Sorry, Word Web App can't edit this document because it appears to be corrupt.". What I don't really understand is that I can open them in the Desktop
version of Word without any problems. Also, if it was simply the Custom XML Data that would prevent Word Web App to open the document, how come the version of the document without these Custom XML Data is still considered corrupted by the Word Web App.
If needed, I can send the documents in question (probably by email since I don't see an option to attach them to this question).
Thanks,
Patrick Racicot

Hi,
I understand you can't open the Word documents from Word Web App, but may I know how you converted them? What is that "Word Desktop Convert functionality"? Would you please detail the steps of the conversation?
When you try the "Save As" method, any prompt or error? Can you keep saving just ignoring the error?
Before the conversation, I suggest you try removing the hyperlinks in the original .doc document, then convert the document to .docx format, check if then it can be opened from the Word Web App.
Feel free to post back to provide more information.
Thanks,
Melon Chen

How to edit Word Document stored in BDS through ABAP WebDynpro

Hi All,
Currently, my company has an ECC 6 program very similar to SAPRDEMO_FORM_INTERFACE. This program takes a word form and populates it with various bits of data for the end user. The user can then edit this document as they see fit and save it to the BDS system against a Material.
The current requirement is to replicate this functionality through a WebDynpro program. SAP does have a demo WebDynpro program IOS_TEST_WORDPROCESSING under package SIOS. Within Method WDDOMODIFYVIEW of view TEST_VIEW_WORDPROC, the program takes the URL of a MIME repository object (which is a word document) and displays that document. I tried to replicate this functionality by using the URL and content of the document using the CL_BDS_DOCUMENT_SET; however I am unsuccessful in getting this document to display. No matter what I do, I cannot seem to get the BDS document to display.
Does anyone know how to display and edit BDS documents through WebDynpro? Any help that you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help.
John

John,
use CL_HTTP_CLIENT instead to get the document from external URL.

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

The application Acrobat provides no language translation capability.
If you localize the language for OS, MS Office applications, Acrobat, etc to the desired language try again.
Alternative: transfer a copy of content into a web based translation service (Bing or Google provides a free service).
Transfer the output into a word processing program that is localized to the appropriate language.
Do cleanup.
Be well...

I downloaded the adobe XI software and it shows in my Adobe download assistant as downloaded but I can not open it and it is not a part of my applications. Very frustrating download process as I just want to convert a PDF file to an editable word document

Odonnells52 you will still need to install Adobe Acrobat Professional prior to being able to make edits to PDF or utilize Acrobat. By default the installation files have been saved to your download folder.
If you continue to face difficulties with the Adobe Download Assistant then please see Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant.
You can also download the installation files directly from Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X if you are unable to locate the downloaded installation files.

When I convert a PDF to a Word doc, it "converts" as a picture and I cannot edit the document. What can I do to get the PDF to convert properly?

When I convert a PDF to a Word doc, it "converts" as a picture and I cannot edit the document. What can I do to get the PDF to convert properly?

Hi conversionnewbie,
Are you able to select the text in Word by triple-clicking inside the text box? (Sometimes text selections can be tricky in converted files.) If you can't select the text, then I'm guessing that the PDF was created from a scanned file (so the text becomes images). Make sure that OCR is enabled when you convert the file to Word. OCR is enabled by default in the ExportPDF web interface, but can be disabled in Adobe Reader. If you're converting to Word from within Adobe Reader, make sure that OCR is enabled and that the correct language is selected:
Please let us know that works for you!

I am trying to convert a PDF into a document that can be edited - it's a client feedback form. I am using Adobe forms Central and it's saying that it can't use my document.

Hi Michelle ,
We are extremely sorry that you have had a bad experience with Adobe .
As far as your issue is concerned ,Acrobat generally prompts for internet connection as it is required to activate the product before you could use it comfortably .Once the product is activated or licensed you would be able to use the software offline .
This could be the possible reason you are experiencing this .Please check if you have done so and still facing this .And if you have not ,you need to license/activate your product by typing in your credentials ,i.e Adobe ID and password .
You could also refer the following link to get updated about the activation of your product .
