Can't Export to Word

I have the Acrobat X Pro that came with CS5.5 Design Premium (Mac) and am unable to export to Word because there is no such option listed under File->Save As. Oddly the free demo version I have on my Windows 7 laptop has the option.
I've tried reinstalling to no avail.
This is especially irksome since Adobe's home page is currently highlighting this nonexistent (for me) feature.

Good day Mike,
I've seen this behavior myself from time to time.  The File > Save As > Microsoft Word > Word Document option just disappears.  Try opening a second PDF file, then go back to your first one.  The option should be there. 
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Kind regards,
David

  • Pictures from my iphoto library can't be exported to word

    I am trying to import a picture from my iphoto library into Microsoft Word and it will not work. When I attempt the transfer it says: This application cannot open this file. This file is an unsupported graphic format or may be damaged. Try opening the graphic in another application.
    When I try to import photos that have been downloaded to my computer through a source other than my digital camera, it works.
    Also, after working with a recently imported roll of pictures from my digital camera, the program iphoto unexpectedly quit. Could it be that my camera is causing these problems?

    Your subject line says you can't export to Word, and your post says you cannot import into Word -- these are diametrically opposite problems. You have apparently described the distinction between a successful import and one that fails. If you are able to import photos from the desktop, then export your iPhoto images to the desktop, before you import the images to Word from the desktop.

  • Can i open microsoft word documents in pages?

    I need a word processor for college and if i can use pages instead of word then i can save a whole lot of money.

    Hi Rich,
    If your instructors want you to turn in assignments in Word format, then I'd advise you to get Word. If your work will be Printed or used in PDF format, Pages will do nicely. It's not that you can't export to Word from Pages, it's that you don't need the hassles of semi-accurate conversions.
    If money is a big concern, you can install one of the free clones of Office. LibreOffice is generally well regarded for this purpose.

  • Unable to print or export to word to print

    I cannot print will not export from PDF to word for me to print, what can I do to print.  When trying to print will not print  response is: expired, but I bought the Adobe ExportPDF, and was so suppose to be Annual fee paid. Don't understand why I can't  export to word in order to print, or why I just can't print it, my printer does print other items, such as e-mails, facebook, etc.

  • How can I make Address Book print labels how I want, or export to Word?

    I have found a number of serious problems with Address Book, which unless I can overcome them mean it is entirely useless for me. Almost all are to do with creating mailing labels or envelopes:
    1.I can't find any way of defining a sheet format for labels different from those on the pre-defined list. My labels are in 2 columns of 8, on a sheet 12” long by 8” wide, margins 0.5mm top and bottom, and ½” left and right. The labels themselves are 3½” x1½”. Address Book can't do it. It is odd that this is so restrictive, whereas with envelopes one has total flexibility.
    2.Although I can define which address I want to print on each label or envelope, I can't find a way of defining which field should be used for the first (name) line. It always consists of the First and Last names as recorded on each card. This is not what I want. For different mailings, I want to use different first lines, as in many cases each card is the address of a family group, the First and Last names simply recording the names of the parents e.g., John and Mary Smith. But for my Christmas mailing I want to print 'The Smith Family', whereas for my charity mailshots I want to print 'Mrs Mary Smith', as she is the charity supporter, not her husband or children.
    3.The address layout seems to be fixed, with each element on a separate line. This is not how I want to print, as in some cases it makes for too many lines, particularly on labels. I want to put the zip/post-code on the same line as the county or state, separated by about ½”. But I can't see how to dictate the layout at all. On labels there is a further problem, in that I can't define a vertical and/or horizontal off-set for the text.
    4.The Country does not print at all on labels, making the application quite useless for foreign mailings, and I can't find a way of overcoming this. Over half our mailing addresses are affected by this.
    5. And another problem really puts the final cherry on the icing of this cake: There is no way I can find of exporting the data from the address book in a format, e.g. a csv file, that I can bring into a word processor where I could do these mailings how I want them. Not only does the box fail to do what I need, it is also locked.
    I don't understand why, having set up Address Book on the database principle that one should have have to record each contact only once no matter how many ways one needs to use the data, it seems it has then been implemented in a way that prevents it being used in one of the most obvious ways, to print addresses in a format of the user's choice.
    The Applecare adviser tells me the problems I have can't be overcome. Is that right, or is she, and I missing something? Please help.

    "It's Christmas card time again and the fact that Address Book is useless for this purpose is really frustrating."
    While I sympathise with the functionality of Address Book, I'm old-fashioned enough to write my cards and envelopes by hand (shock! horror!) and get quite p***-off to receive bulk-printed stuff.
    Just a thought, peeps.
    It'd be all too easy to follow that up with a cheapshot making reference to how many Christmas cards you have to send, but I'll rise above that and explain that some of us might want to use this for business contacts and have 300+ cards to address.
    It is a shame that the printing feature from Address Book is so close, yet so far from performing this simple task. It is a shame that Pages can run mail merge, but only for one record per page (which is useless for label printing). It is also a shame that MS Word for Mac does proper labels but doesn't recognise Address Book as a datasource.
    These things are all a shame because with Apple's software, you rather expect things to "just work", as per their advertising, and when very simple things don't "just work", it difficult not to feel cheated.

  • Export to Word--docs can't be opened

    When I export in Word format, the documents appear in the folder, but can't be opened in Word. (They can be opened in Pages, and look fine.)
    Any thoughts, anyone?

    (I've restarted, and it happens in both apps)
    But thanks to your thoughts I just created a new user, and Export works fine with it! So something is corrupted within my normal user. When I get some time I'll try deleting various preference files of Word and Pages, unless you have any better suggestions!

  • I have small black lines that appeared after I exported from word to PDF. I can't remove them.

    I can't edit/delete the black lines with content editing or form editing (they are not selectable, just like a line that was created in word prior to export), and when I tried to write a white line over it with a comment mark up, it does not show when opened with adobe.
    Further, redaction with a white box erased nearby text or text boxes.
    How can I white out/remove these small lines?
    I'm using Yosemite OS X with a macbook pro, acrobat XI.
    Thanks!

    Hi ,
    Could you please tell is that some specific file in which those black lines have appeared or are there any other files as well ?
    You can try exporting another test file to PDF and compare the results .
    Will it be possible for you to share the file with us so that we can analyze at our end ?If yes ,please share it on [email protected] .
    You could also send us the screen shot of the files ( both after and before export) so that we can have a look how it looks and what is the method to remove those lines.
    Regards

  • HT4168 I have created an 100 page booklet in Pages, with many photographs, can I export it to ePub, and make an electronic book, because it says that "Note: The Pages document must have been created using a word processing template"?

    I have created an 100 page booklet in Pages, with many photographs, and much written word, can I export it to ePub, and make an electronic book, because it says that "Note: The Pages document must have been created using a word processing template"?....
    Basically what I want to do is publish the document into both an eDocument, and a hard copy document. What is the best way to do this?

    No Peter, this statement came right off the Apple ePub statement when outlining how to use ePub. the full context is:
    Creating ePub files with Pages
    Summary
    Learn how to create ePub files with Pages.
    Products Affected
    Pages '09
    ePub is an open ebook standard produced by the International Digital Publishing Forum. Pages ’09 lets you export your documents in ePub format for reading with iBooks on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    iBooks supports both ePub and PDF file formats, and you can export both from Pages.
    When to use ePub or PDF
    Use ePub when text is the most important part of your document, for example when you create a book, a report, a paper, a thesis, or classroom reading material.
    More details on using ePubUse PDF when layout is the most important part of your document, for example when you create a brochure, a flyer, or a manual with multiple illustrations.
    More details on using PDF
    Creating an ePub Document to Read in iBooks
    You can export any Pages word processing document to the ePub file format for reading in an ePub reader, such as the iBooks application on the iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. Documents created in page layout templates can’t be exported to the ePub format.
    Documents exported to ePub format will look different than their Pages counterparts. If you want to get the best document fidelity between the Pages and ePub formats, style your Pages document with paragraph styles and other formatting attributes allowed in an ePub file. A sample document is provided on the Apple Support site that features styles and guidelines to help you create a Pages document that’s optimized for export to the ePub file format, which you can use as a template or a guide. To learn more about using paragraph styles in Pages, see the topics under the heading “Working with Styles” in the Pages built-in help.
    To read your ePub document in iBooks on your mobile device, you must transfer the ePub file that you create onto your device.
    To use the “ePub Best Practices” sample documentTo learn more about using the ePub format and get a better feel for how a Pages document might appear as a book in iBooks, it’s a good idea to download the “ePub Best Practices” sample document. After reading the guidelines and instructions within the document, you can use it as a template to create your own document. You can also import the styles from the sample document into a new document you create.
    Download the “ePub Best Practices” sample document at the following web address:
    http://images.apple.com/support/pages/docs/ePub_Best_Practices_EN.zip
    Do either of the following:Use the sample document as a template.Import the paragraph styles from the sample document into a new or existing Pages document.
    Export the document you create to ePub format to see how it looks in iBooks.
    Preparing an existing Pages document for export to ePub format
    Documents exported to the ePub format automatically appear with page breaks before every chapter. A table of contents is automatically generated, which allows readers to jump quickly to any chapter title, heading, or subheading in the book. In order to create a meaningful table of contents, it’s important to apply appropriate styles within your document. The ePub reader uses the paragraph styles to determine which items should appear in the table of contents for your book.
    Note: The Pages document must have been created using a word processing template.

  • Can't export Word docs to network drive

    I can't export Word documents to a network drive. I can save the document in .pages format, but if I try to export, the software goes through the motions, but the Word document is never created. If I "Save As" and check "Save Copy as Word Document," I receive an error message "The document ... could not be exported as ....doc." At least I get an error message, which is better than thinking a document exported when it didn't. I can't find any way to report this bug to Apple.

    I'm not really surprised by this behaviour.
    I think that good practice is to save / export on a 'normal' device then move the document from the 'normal' device to the network.

  • How can I export comments and tracked changes from Pages to Word?

    I just purchased Pages and tried to export a couple pages of my document to Microsoft Word so I could send them for review to a client who does not have Pages; however, when I copy-pasted into Word, none of the comments or tracked changes showed up in the doc., only the finished product. I've tried updating my software, but that hasn't worked. Is there a way to fix this?

    Here is what the Pages User Guide says:
    " Exporting Pages Documents to Other File Formats
    If you want to share your Pages documents with those who aren’t using the latest version of Pages, you can export your document to file formats that they may be able to use on their computers or other devices:
    • PDF: You can view PDF files in iBooks, and view or print them in Preview and Safari. You can edit them with a PDF application. Fonts used in the Pages document are preserved in the PDF file.
    Hyperlinks in your Pages document are exported to the PDF file. Hyperlinks are also created in the PDF file for table of contents entries, footnotes and endnotes, webpages, email addresses, and bookmarks.
    • Microsoft Word: You can open and edit Microsoft Word files in Microsoft Word on a computer running Mac OS X or Windows.
    Because of text layout differences between Microsoft Word and Pages, an exported Word document may contain a different number of pages than its Pages counterpart. You may notice other differences, as well, for example, table layouts and some special typographic features may not be identical. Some graphics (particularly those using transparency) may not display as well. Charts created in Pages appear as MS Graph objects, which you can edit in Microsoft Word.
    • RTF: You can open and edit RTF files in many different word processors. RTF files retain most of the text formatting and graphics.
    • Plain text: You can open and edit plain text files in many text editing applications, such as TextEdit. Exporting to plain text removes all document and text formatting, and images aren’t exported. ePub: You can open ePub files for reading in the iBooks application on an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, or in any ePub file reader. After you export your document to ePub format, you must transfer it to your device to read it in iBooks. To learn more about optimizing a document for ePub format, exporting it, and transferring it to your device, see “Creating an ePub Document to Read in iBooks” on page 257.
    If your Pages document is password-protected, the password-protection is removed from the new file that's created upon export. However, if you export to the PDF file format, you can apply a new password at the time of export. "
