Can you convert a pdf that won't allow text to be highlighted so you can do highlighting?

I have Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard. My monthly bank statement comes as a pdf. I would like to be able to highlight parts of it such as check and deposit amounts but, although the highlighting toolbar is available, when I select a tool such as the cross-out text tool and try to highlight an item, nothing happens. Is there a way to convert this apparently uneditable type of pdf to one that will allow highlighting?

You need an app that will perform that function. There are many apps that will do this, the most powerful being Adobe's Acrobat Pro, it's not inexpensive however that is what it is designed to do. If you want to just do some light annotations Preview (which you already have) will do this, however if you want to edit every aspect Acrobat Pro is tough to beat.
I would recommend using the Mac App store to begin shopping, you will probably find some middle ground app that will do what you need.

    Paul, isn't this setting part of acrobat itself and not something one can "set" in the document?  Opening pdf forms on my computer does not show the fields to be highlighted.
    Which version of Designer did you use to create the form?
    It looks like the same version I had quoted above.
    I originally created a form that was based off of an existing PDF image.  I had just put the fields "on top of" the scanned image that the PDF contained.  The result was too ugly for me, so I copy and pasted all my fields over onto a new empty static form and created what I posted above.
    Looking at the original "ugly" form's XML it looks like the version of the software didn't change:
    <?xfa generator="AdobeLiveCycleDesignerES_V8.2.1.4029.1.523496" APIVersion="2.8.9029.0"?>
    Also, the "right" attribute exists in the original "ugle" PDF document that is dated 5/3/2009 if that helps any.
    I followed your instructions and removed "right" and that fixed the problem.  Looks like LiveCycle's XML parser needs an additional validation check!  I had wondered what that "right" thing was since when I was looking through all the settings I didn't see a corrisponding setting. I had just assumed that it was some internal setting I wasn't supposed to care about. Good catch!
    Thanks for your help Paul!

  • Can I convert a pdf to use in a powerpoint presentation

    can I convert a pdf to use in a powerpoint presentation

    ..and now I can reply less cryptically:
    Export to PowerPoint (PPTX) is available in Acrobat XI Pro.
    The all-new Save As > Microsoft Powerpoint Presentation feature will not only convert an existing PDF file into an editable PPTX file, it will (try to) recognize elements and reconstruct Master Slides, re-convert Speaker Notes and convert things like tables into genuine PowerPoint tables. The feature works on both Windows and Mac.

    How can I convert a pdf file that's larger than 100MB to word?
    I have just paid $20 to Adobe to get this facility but It won't work ,
    as the pdf is larger than 100MB,
    I actually believe that I have paid twice for adobe but I'll take this up with them,
    in the meantilme,
    do you have any suggestions, I really need this material in word urgently,
    many thanks

    If your files are this large, ExportPDF is the wrong tool for you. You need Adobe Acrobat, which runs locally and does not need to send your files to Adobe.

  • How can I convert a pdf to OSX10.8 so I can submit a manuscript to the itunes store. I have a windows computer only.

    How can I convert a pdf file to an OSX.10 so I can submit a manuscript to the itunes store?

    Perhaps you want to submit an "ePub" to iTunes?
    If so then revisit the authoring files for the manuscript and go to ePub from there.
    Getting to ePub from PDF is really rather awkward.
    Lotsa "use me", "use me" software that purports to solve this; but, really, it doesn't.
    So, again - - authoring files to ePub.
    One example: use Word and Calibre.
    Might groom with Sigil.
    Pipe out the finalized ePub to iTunes.
    Do the Snoopy dance.
    Be well...

    Try converting your PDF file to an Excel (.xlsx) file with the ExportPDF service.  You can then use Excel to save that file as a .CSV file.  ExportPDF does not output .csv

  • Can't convert to pdf from word

    my wife uses adobe acrobat 6.0 standard with office 2003. The problem is that she can't convert to pdf from word. it works fine with an excel doc. but not a word. I did update to 6.0.1 and still nothing. There is no error message and the word document opens but nothing happens.

    I have exactly the same problem. Everything was ok untill a couple of months ago then after some auto updates the pdf buttons were no longer displayed in the word documents when it is open and if you try to convert it to pdf either by dragging the word file onto Adobe or highlighting the file and right clicking on it then selecting 'convert to Adobe PDF' it doesn't work. It looks like it attempts to do it by opening the word document but then nothing else happens. The only way I have been able to get it to convert to pdf is to go into the word document, click on file then print then select Adobe PDF then save to location. This is just a complete pain to do all the time especially when I need to convert a whole load of files in one go.
    Obviously the auto updates have effected it somehow but I can't work out where.
    I've tried uninstalling Adobe the re-installing it but it makes no difference.
    I'm using Acrobat 6.0 Standard with Windows XP Professional 2002

  • How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X?

    How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X? I'd like to modifiy the file which I have only as a PDF/A.

    There's two answers if you want to modify the file:
    You can temporarily turn off PDF/A Mode in your preferences, so they don't open as read-only. The problem would be if you do something to the file that violated the PDF/A standard, so you should always run a Preflight check afterwards to make sure.
    If you want to remove the PDF/A header tag, use Preflight again - it's on the Print Production Panel in Acrobat X Pro (which may be hidden, use the options menu on the Tools Pane to show it). There's a profile called "Remove PDF/A information" - choose this and press Analyze and Fix. Nothing else about the file will be altered but when you save and reopen it all the editing tools will become active.

    How can I convert a .pdf file to an Indesign CC file which is editable?

    Hi btacme,
    I understand there are some third-party utilities that will allow you to convert a PDF to an InDesign file. But, as PDF is intended to be a final format, Adobe doesn't offer this capability. Are you unable to make the edits that you need by opening the PDF in Acrobat?
    Best,
