Cannot convert even the smallest pdf into Word - Help?

I started with a scanned document (an address list) - ran forever; tried a single page - ran forever; tried just 4 lines (2 addresses)- ran forever; tried a totally different pdf document - still ran forever.  I have let the program run for what seems like hours - it never finishes, never get a converted file. What could I possibly be doing wrong? 

Sounds like there may be an issue on your network that prevents you from uploading files.
Try signing into Acrobat.com: http://files.acrobat.com/signin.html with your Adobe ID and password.  Check to see if you can upload a file there.  You'll also want to try uploading a file to the service from another network, such as from home.

  • Hi, am trying to convert pdf into word. I have 30 days trial, however, everytime i try to convert it's asking to subscribe, Why is that, what is the purpose of the free trial?

    Hi, am trying to convert pdf into word. I have 30 days trial, however, everytime i try to convert it's asking to subscribe, Why is that, what is the purpose of the free trial?

    Hi oj1,
    Since you mention a free trial, I'm guessing that you have an Acrobat trial (Adobe doesn't offer free trials of the Acrobat.com online services).
    If you do have Acrobat, you can use the Save As command in that application to save directly to Word format.
    Please let us know how it goes.

  • Why can I not convert pdf into word file?

    why can I not convert pdf into word file?

    This is not a feature of Adobe Reader. You'll need either Acrobat or a subscription to one of the web-based services that Adobe offers (like PDF Pack) to do it.

  • When I converted a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How can I solve this problem?

    When I tried to convert a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How do I solve this problem?  I don't know how to change it from Read Only.

    Dear Sara
    Thank you very much for sending the converted file.  Yes, I am able to edit it - that will be very useful to me and I appreciate your help.
    Referring to your previous message when you said you'd converted via Acrobat and not Acrobat.com, I'm converting via Acrobat.com because that's the only option that is shown (how do I convert via Acrobat? - perhaps that would be more successful).  I'm using the Export PDF website, and the OCR is enabled to "Recognize text in English UK".  However, I've just tried converting a different LPA pdf form, this time for Health & Welfare https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/245571/LPA114_He alth_welfare_LPA.pdf and again I have the same problem as before.  I've altered it from "Read only" and thought I'd then be able to enter text, but "Drawing Tools" is shown in the pane and I'm unable to enter anything onto the form - everything appears to be in images.  Also, the lettering on the heading of' page 1 has become jumbled, with the word "Public" overlaying the word "Guardian."  Any suggestions as to what it is I'm doing wrong would be welcome - I don't like to be beaten!
    Regards,
    Judith.

  • Any ideas how I can insert a pdf into word, using the insert object option. However the pdf i want to insert has text and lines annotated, but once inserted the comments don't appear????  any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You will need to find a forum for MS Word since that is the software that you are trying to manipulate in this.  If you think the processing/creation of the PDF plays a role then you should ask in the forum for the software that you are using to create the PDF.
    This forum is for issue regarding downloading and installing Adobe trial products, so in any circumstance, your issue does not fit in this forum.

  • How do you make the smallest pdf from InDesign CS4 but retain some sharpness?

    I have a 2 page brochure, front and back with layered photoshop files and when I make the small pdf I need to make a 100kb file like a client has done in the past. The smallest I can make the pdf file is 460kb.  It will not go smaller no matter what I do. Of course I can enter final resolution as 72 dpi but the photos become very fuzzy. I have even reduced the file sizes of the photos and replaced them in the document. The file size remains the same.  My client said that Illustrator reduced the size for him smaller in the past but I don't think that is the solution.  How do you retain some sharpness in a pdf but keep the file size at a very minimum?

    But InDesign CS4 outputs the file no matter what at 460 kb for me. 
    Still don't know why they got 100 kb.
    By not using InDesign. Scott is on the right track by mentioning Distiller - which makes PDFs that are smaller than what InDesign can export. Illustrator can be used (improperly*) in the same way. Both methods can strip out stuff that you don't need if you don't care about printing quality, don't care about reliable display across multiple platforms, don't care about precisely how your fonts are embedded, don't care about the lawsuit that the blind people using screenreaders are going to bring against you, and so on. I don't know which of the above is not in your client's 100k file, or which of the things in my above list will be stripped out by using Distiller or Illustrator, but I bet that one of the people who has already posted in your thread does know, and might be talked into telling us.
    But, if you're trying to make your client happy and aren't actually personally invested in making the smallest PDFs known to man, and if you're located in the US, then perhaps the phrases "screenreaders... blind... accessibilty... lawsuit" spoken together might induce your client to rethink this arbitrary desire for miniscule file size of PDFs.
    Alternately, you could just save postscript out of both PDFs and just look at the .ps files in your favorite raw-text viewer.
    * I'm surprised that Adobe Employee Dov Isaacs hasn't come along to tell us what a bad idea this is.

  • What is the best PDF to word OCR editor?

    What is the best PDF to Word OCR editor for Mac?

    "Best easy" could be a different answer for everyone.
    I'd suggest starting with the basic editing capabilities in iPhoto.  It's already on your Mac.
    If that doesn't meet your needs then you should probably consider Photoshop Elements, Graphic Converter or GIMP.
    If you need even more "editing power" then consider Pixelmator.  Maybe even Aperture.  Aperture's basic editing capabilities are pretty powerful, and there are many great plugins that add more capabilities.
    You don't see Adobe Photoshop in this list for a reason ... that is Adobe's recent change making all its professional apps available only by subscription (called the Adobe Creative Cloud).   Photoshop was always an expensive product, but the subscription fee makes it outrageously expensive - $240/year forever just for the one app.  And if you subscribe and use Adobe's cloud storage and then quit the plan you lose everything you may have saved in their cloud storage service.  "Buyer beware!"

  • I need to convert hundreds of TRANSPARENT PDFs into PNG or TIFF

    I need to convert hundreds of TRANSPARENT PDFs into PNG or TIFF. 
    That's not possible with Acrobat. It’s possible to convert hundreds of PDFs into PNG or TIFF using batch processing. But transparency is LOST! 
    Photoshop is the only software I know of which is able to keep transparency when converting from PDF to PNG.
    But now I have problems to get batch processing running.
    I made an Action with “Open file”, “Save as PSD” and “Export to PNG”. 
    Using this Action in batch-process-files with source as a folder with many PDFs and target as a different folder results in many opened PDFs within Photoshop. Nothing else happens:-(. 
    Any ideas? 
    Thanks
    Norbert

    Great:)
    It worked at once.
    Thank you so much for this link.

    I paid to convert a file from pdf to Word and it is unintelligible. Why ?

    Hi M & B P,
    Please give the following a try:
    If you're converting via the ExportPDF website, log out, clear the cache, and then log back in.
    If you're converting from within Reader, choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version.
    Please let us know how it goes. If you're still having problems, please let us know how you're converting, what browser you're using, and whether you're on Mac OS and Windows. We'll do some deeper digging if need be.
    Best,

    Hi Suresh,
    The easest solution I can think of is to copy the math equation from the PowerPoint then paste in the Word document directly, there's actually no way to convert it to plain text, some equation is very complext, String variable is not suitable in this case.
    For example, this code works fine:
    var powerPoint = new Application { WindowState = PpWindowState.ppWindowMinimized };
    var oPresSet = powerPoint.Presentations;
    Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint._Presentation oPres = oPresSet.Open(@"C:\test.pptx", MsoTriState.msoFalse, MsoTriState.msoFalse, MsoTriState.msoFalse);
    var strObj = oPres.Slides[1].NotesPage.Shapes[2].TextFrame2.TextRange.MathZones.get_MathZones();
    strObj.Copy();
    Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application wordApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application();
    wordApp.Visible = true;
    Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document doc = wordApp.Documents.Add();
    doc.Range(0, 0).Paste();

  • Cannot convert .tif file to .pdf in IE when I have an Abode Reader window open

    Cannot convert .tif file to .pdf in IE when I have an Abode Reader window open.

    Cannot convert .tif file to .pdf in IE when I have an Abode Reader window open. 
    I have a .pdf file open in Adobe Reader that is on my works P:/ drive. Then I open a .tif file from a website in Windows Phone and Fax Viewer and  Right click it and select "Convert to Adobe PDF".  I get the following message
    Adobe Reader could not open "filename.tif" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has not been damaged (For example, it was sent as a an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
    I have a work around for this.  Simply closing the Adobe Reader that was previously opened and the attempting to "Convert to Adobe PDF" will then work properly.  Was wondering if there was a fix to this issue beacuse it is frustrating to always have to close my other .pdf files to do this action.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
