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!
Best,
Sara

I purchasede pdf last year, now I cannot edit a document, what do I need to do?

I purchased pdf last year, now I cannot edit a document, what do I need to do? Can someone help me please? Do you have a phone number I can call?

Let be clear on some terms please.
pdf is a file type opened/viewed with Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat
Please check what program opens pdf files on your system.

Is this product Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat - Professional or Standard?
Adobe Reader is free, there is no cost. Assuming you have Acrobat...
What do you want to edit within the pdf. (Minor edits are possible, major edits are not)
Have you editted anything with Acrobat? The file in question may be protected by the author; dissallowing changes.

Editing scanned document with Adobe Pro

Is it possible to edit scanned documents that are saved as pdf files? I know the search or find command do not work on scanned documents. Our office is going paperless but there are times that we need to go back to the original document and make changes instead of reproducing the original, making the changes and then creating a new document

you'd need a good OCR (Optical Character Recognition) application to convert the images to text first.
After that, you'd probably want to export the text to something like a Word document for editing.
Most of the time it's easier just to recreate the document.

I cannot send scanned documents, i cannot send scanned documents

i cannot send scanned documents using mail. it says that the size is too big but the scan is only 33mb. i have tried with Snow leopard and now Lion and the same thing happens. Any ideas? Could it be the scanner that i am now using. i switched from HP to Brother and down loaded the brother presto page manager? i am on a 2007 imac with max RAM installed.

How many pages and what is the size of each page? I assume the 33 Mbytes is the total size.

Are you scanning from the HP Solution Center application? If yes, you can adjust the settings to specifiy the location where the scans are saved.
Follow the steps below:
1. Load the document you want to scan on the scanner glass.
2. Open the Solution Center application.
3. Choose 'Scan Document'.
4. Select the option 'Document to File' or 'Document to File (PDF)'
5. Click on Advanced Document Settings option and then click on 'Save to file save options'.
6. Specifiy the location to send the saved scans on the computer.
7. If you see the option to enable 'Edit the file name of the saved scan', select it.
8. You may also have an option to specify 'how the HP software completes the scan action'. Select 'Launches file explorer'. This will open the folder location where the scan is saved.
Hope this helps.

Office Web App Server 2013: cannot edit word document with own WOPI Server

Hi all,
I tried to build our own WOPI Server to connect to Office Web App Server 2013 SP1. Viewing documents
in IE was possible quite easy to achieve. Now it comes to editing.
When I try to edit a document, I got a german message “Sie verfügen leider nicht über die Berechtigung zum Bearbeiten dieses Dokuments“.
This means something like „Sorry, you do not have any permission to modify this document”.
I enabled editing on the OWAS-Server while setup procedure
(Until now, I only have an InternalUrl but no ExternalUrl.)
PS C:\ > New-OfficeWebAppsFarm –InternalUrl “https://win-owas...”
–CertificateName "win-owas…" –EditingEnabled
ULS log shows
BaseDocument says editing is not supported [WebEditingEnabled: True] [SupportsEditing: True] [PinnedUsersRights: Read]
So far, I implemented these three REST service methods:
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke
"GET":"api/wopi/files/{name}?access_token={access_token}"
"GET":"api/wopi/files/{name}/contents?access_token={access_token}"
"POST":"api/wopi/files/{name}/contents?access_token={access_token}"
Office Web App Server was downloaded from “Microsoft Volume Licensing Center”. I installed latest updates from Microsoft.
Did anybody succeed in writing to own WOPI an can give me some hints?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
The discovery xml contains many lines. The one for editing docx is:
<action
name="edit"
urlsrc="https://win-owas.cado.camos.de/we/wordeditorframe.aspx?"<ui=UI_LLCC=""&><rs=DC_LLCC=""&><showpagestats=PERFSTATS=""&>"
ext="docx" requires="locks,cobalt,update"/>
I am calling it this way:
<iframe
src="https://win-owas.cado.camos.de/we/wordeditorframe.aspx?WOPISrc=http%3a%2f%2fpc-ms.cado.camos.de%3a8000%2fWOPI%2fapi%2Fwopi%2Ffiles%2FAbout_Keyboard_Input.docx&access_token=5268690b-19c6-496d-8ae6-b694f8e7bd0c"
I’m not sure whether or not I implemented "locks,cobalt,update" correct, but I do not see any ‘edit-’network traffic from OWAS-Server to WOPI-Server. So I cannot debug anything. I will (re)check the articles you mentioned.
Thank you for your help.

Editing Scanned documents

I am unable to edit documents I have scanned into my computer using HP printer F2480; ie. the document cannot be altered or cut and paste extracts to use elsewhere. Any thoughts on how to correct this restriction.

OK, what are you scanning? Is it a printed or typed document? Is it on white paper or colored paper? Did you have a choice to scan to editable RTF? What format is the resulting file? How many pages are you scanning? How large is the file?

I am not able to use Firefox with Sharepoint - I can only open a file in read-only mode and cannot checkout the document and edit.

I would like to use Firefox with Sharepoint.
However, I am only able to open a file in "read only" mode whch means I cannot edit the document and save it. I am also not able to "check-out" a document in Sharepoint and edit it at the same time.

This may not work for everyone, but I solved this problem by clicking on the file name in sharepoint, not the document icon to the left of the name. This then brought up the various options, including checking out, editing, version history etc. It seems obvious but I have only just realised this!

Unable to open scanned documents

I cannot open scanned documents once they are saved to my computer.
I am using HP Officejet Pro 8600, scanning from the glass plectrum and the scanned documents automatically appear on my Computer under the program PDF Complete Special Edition.

Thanks for the reply. I worked it out, I was still using the free trial of PDF Complete so I've purchased the full version and it seems to be working fine. Thanks for the time.

Export a PDF to a Editable Word document

I purchased the Adobe Export where you can send a PDF to become and editable Wrod document. 23.99 (for the year) later and I still cannot edit the document. Can someone help me figure out what's wrong? I've tried everything and nothing works. Uh! :-(

I purchased Export so i can change PDF to word and still edit it, but when i export it, it becomes uneditable.

Editing scanned pics

Sometimes I cannot edit scanned pix in Photo Gallery - even some I've already edited before. At other times there's no problem. There must be something I'm missing -- suggestions welcome!

Hi,
It's up to your images editor software. Probably all of them can only edit image file formats such as TIFF, JPG ... Please make sure you ONLY scan images as jpg or jpeg files, not pdf files or even TIFF files.
Regards.

How do I edit a document that I've created but doesn't respond to normal edit effects

I cannot edit text in a PDF created from scanning

I am using Adobe XI, and I have created a PDF by scanning a document.
When I do click on a paragraph to edit text, all the page appears selected, it seems to be an image. At that moment a message pops up saying: this page has not editable text or digitalized content. The editing tools are disabled, so I cannot edit text.
If I do export a page to Excel or Word, I can edit text there, although there are some kind of data that is not converted properly (even when I have executed OCR).
I have edited preferences, but I am not sure if I did it correctly.
Thanks

I am using Acrobat XI Pro on PC.
Of course, I have done all the steps you mention, but I wanted someone to confirm me if these setting values are correct in order to obtain the best results. I repeat the paragraph of my previous discussion that I want to clarify, just in case some of you can help me, mainly about optimization
I digitalized the document from the scanner. This scanner is installed in the net, so I personalized the settings in Acrobat and I chose memory mode instead of native mode.
Mode color: black on white
Resolution: 600 ppp
As you say in your mail, I understand I should choose ClearScan OCR not searchable just at this moment.
Well, and what about the options of optimization?, JBIG2 (without lost)?, 4 CCITT?
And filters?, I have: activated, low, activated, medium
Are these values congruous or compatible?
Thank you
