Can't open converted doc

Converted pdf to word doc with no issues but when i try to open word doc i get a messag saying "file you are downloading cannot be opened by the default program" I'm not very computer savvy, can someone help?

Sounds like the file extension was removed from the file when you saved it.  Append the .docx or .xlsx file extension to your file name and try opening the file again.
Let us know how it goes!

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • Can you open word doc. In pages? (Opening a doc. From the web) in the iPad or iPod tuch?

    Can you open word doc. In pages? (Opening a doc. From the web) in the iPad or iPod tuch?

    NH,
    This may seem a fine point, but iWork apps don't actually Open Office apps. They Import them. The reason I make this distinction for you is that when you view the result of the import, you may see some variations from what was in the Office document because of an imperfect translation, and when you make edits, you are editing an iWork document, not the original Office document.

  • Can't open Word docs after updating to Pages 5.1

    Can't open Word docs after updating to Pages 5.1. Have newest Mavericks OS.

    I could open .doc and .docx files when I originally purchased Pages 4.3 in July 2013. After software was updated to 5.1 January 2014 I can no longer open any .doc or .docx files. Now, when I try to open one, is says for example: "PET.doc" can't be opened.
    **You, know what? I just tried to save a pages document and it won't even let me do that. Saying I don't have permission to move. I double checked my sharing & permissions and that's not the problem. I can't even export the file to anything else (pdf, word, etc). Says the same thing: "Document.pages couldn't be moved because you don't have permission to access folder. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info."
    So it seems the entire app is crap. Although like I said it worked fine pre-update.

  • How can I open Microsoft doc attached to my iPad email

    How can I open Microsoft doc attached to my iPad email

    The document should open as an email attachment in the mail app. Did you tap on the icon in order to open the file?
    However, if you want to save or edit the document, then you will need a Word compatible app on the iPad. pages, Documents To Go, quick Office Pro ... And others are available in the app store.
    But you can open and read it right from the mail app as an attachment.

  • When I download word docs my MacBook is adding the flv extension onto the doc extension and I can't open the doc. Any ideas?

    When I download word docs my MacBook is adding the flv extension onto the doc extension and I can't open the doc. Any ideas?

    Go to the main Library folder and look for a folder called Application Support / Microsoft.
    There are a few folders in there, and you may have to do some digging. In one of them (mine is called MAU2.0), there should be a file called Microsoft Autoupdate. Open it.
    It looks like this:
    check the button for manual updates.
    That should let you open the apps without triggering an automatic update.

  • Word can't open converted file

    Converted a file from PDF to .doc, but Microsoft Word 2010 can't open it.  What do I need to do?

    Does the converted file have the .docx file extension on it?  If it doesn't, try appending the filename with the extension.
    Let us know if that helps!

  • Can't open google docs since iOS 6

    Since I upgraded to iOS 6 on my iPad and iPhone, I can no long open Google Docs on Google Drive. I have been using QuickOffice Pro HD for a couple years. When I went to open files that I had opened days earlier, I get an error message. I thought the problem was with QuickOffice, but I loaded Office2 HD and get the same message. I can still access Word Documents on Google Drive using QuickOffice. I can access the Google Docs using CloudOn, but that program saves the Google Doc as a Word Doc, so now I have two documents with the same name and I don't really want to go back through and convert everything. I'm guessing there's something about the upgrade that is causing this problem. Anybody else having this problem. The support forum for QuickOffice is enraged, but I'm not sure they're the culprit. Thx

    Here is the pic of what happens why he opens the file on iOS 6.  It does not go any further.  I open it fine with no problems, I am on iOS 5.1.1

  • Can not open PDF docs in Mavericks

    Can't open mail PDF docs when transfered to DT. Removed Adobe plugins and restarted Safari...no change. I can open then in 10.6 Is this a Reader or an Apple issue?

    Thank you Linc Davis and Joe Bailey. The three files in question that I was not able to open on the DT were empty (0 byte). I re-downloaded them, save them on the DT and they opened. I really don't know what took place here, maybe some preferences were previously changed in the reader, but I don't really remember and I am not too concerned at this point. The main thing they work now... so thanks for the help.

  • Can't open CS3 docs in CS4.

    I can't open an indesign doc made only a year ago. I have tried several but none of my old docs appear to open in CS4. Is there no backward compatibility? I am using the latest update version 6.0.3 557 on Vista x64.
    ray

    Older docs should open just fine.
    What is the file extension on the document you are having trouble with? How are you trying to open (Double-click, File > Open)? Do you get an error message?
    Is this isolated to older docs in general, specific docs, or are you also unable to sve and reopen a new file?
    What is the installation path you used for ID (what folder is it inistalled into)?
