How to get PDF file that has been transformed into docx into my filing system so I can work on it???

How can I get the PDF file that was transformed into a docx file into my filing system to be able to work on it and translate it as the customer requested?

THanks for your reply.
Well what happens is I bought the program. It gives you a button to click,
you log in and then a box opens up asking you to select the file, I go into
my filing system (in Windows explorer) select the file, and the program
converts it into docx, my choice. I can read it there and when I try to
copy and paste it into my file where the PDF version is saved, it behaves
like an "image", and I can't save it.... or it saves likes something you
save on the internet, so you have to go into internet every time you want
to see it. I have also pressed any amount of buttons to see if it will
give me the option to save it any other way, and have found nothing. What
I would need is a file in docx.format that I can edit. People send me
things in PDF and sometimes I can just copy it off the PDF file and save it
in WOrd, then I can translate it for them. But sometimes the PDF file
doesnt allow me to copy the text. If it is in image form, I cannot work on
it. It means printing it, so I can copy type it into Word... and for that
I certainly wouldnt need to buy a program. Its just double the work and
ends up that the job takes twice as long.!
Sorry if I am a bit dumb with informatics. But I simply could not find
any way whatever to copy the PDF file that was transformed into Word, in a
format that would enable me to edit it.
Kindest regards,
Margery

Hi rdfnra,
Please check the Page Display preferences (File > Preferences/Acrobat > Preferences) and make sure that Show Large Images is selected. If sounds as though this PDF may have been created from a scanned document, and this preference is disabled.
Please let us know how it goes.

I do not get a readable or editable PDF file that has been converted to Microsoft Word.

In the past I have been able to convert PDF files to MicroSoft Word, and Edit and Save the Documents. Now, the converted files are unreadable and uneditable. How do I correct this problem?

Thanks for the email, Stacy!
I don't have an old PDF file that I converted to MicroSoft Word, however the new file that I am trying to convert and edit is the same kind of file that I've converted and edited before; An Invoice from the same Company. Is there a possibility that a download, MicroSoft Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office System, onto MicroSoft Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 computer might be causing the problem? Should I download to (.doc) or (.docx)? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Hi Joseph,
I'd like to assist!
Have you tried converting one of your old PDF's that have worked in the past to see if it still works?
Are these files scanned to PDF files?
You may want to try utilizing the OCR solution.
Let me know if that works.
Looking forward to hearing back from you!

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,

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.

I have nine, 1-page PDF files that are accessible and need to combine into 1 PDF file. I have tried appending, adding and the combine PDFs process. The file created is not keeping my changes. The created file is partially accessible but I have to re-fix

I have nine, 1-page PDF files that are accessible and need to combine into 1 PDF file. I have tried appending, adding and the combine PDFs process. The file created is not keeping my changes. The created file is partially accessible but I have to re-fix issues I had fixed in the single files. I need suggestions on what else can be done if any. Using Acrobat pro XI.

Out of habit, I tend to combine PDF files in the Page Thumbnails pane by right-click then "Insert Pages" -> "From File". For me, this preserves the tags from both documents, although the tags may have to be moved into the right location (if I recall correctly the tags for the inserted pages get put at the end of the tag structure, regardless of where the pages are inserted), If I first put the tags for the document to be inserted inside a container tag like Section, it makes the process easier. Moving that set of tags to the right place is the only re-fixing that I recall having to do. What behavior are you experiencing?

I am a new first time user of adobe to convert pdf. files to word, etc. I must add that I am 75 years old and not a computer literate fellow. I have a fairly large pdf file that I want to convert to word so I can cut & paste, etc ? Any & all help will be appreciated.

Haakwine you have posted to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum. Which specific Adobe software or service are you trying to use to convert PDF files?

I cannot ope PDF files that are within a web link. Neither Safari nor Firefox will work. If I receive a PDF file as an email attachment, I can open it with either Adobe or Preview. I'm running 10.6.8 on an iMac.

I'm going to re-state this. Several weeks ago, I had installed Security Update 2012-004 on my iMac. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Immediately afterwards, my Mail 4.6 was GONE. Mail 4.2 was there, but the system would not open it. The Apple Support Communites quickly solved my problem. The problem lay within the Update. Now, I cannot open PDF files that are contained within a website, i.e. a lunch menu that is on a restaurant website. This happens on both Safari and Firefox. If someone sends me an email with an attached PDF file, I can open the file with either Adobe or Preview. This is happening only on my iMac. My MacBook Pro, also running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 has not experienced either the first or second problem. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Does this help with Firefox?

I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 on Windows XP, SP3

I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 All-in-One.
I have an (obsolete) Windows XP, SP3 computer. Obviously, no updates from Microsoft
have occurred that might have impacted my Canon Pixma MX479.
When I attempt to send 1 or more pages from a PDF file to the printer, I don't even get the
Canon PIXMA popup that would allow me to cancel the print job.
Yet the Print Queue icon appears in the lower right corner of my monitor.
If I view the Print Queue, the print queue shows "spooling" and does nothing more.
If I attempt to CANCEL the print job in the Print Queue, it simply changes to "deleting -
spooling".
I cannot cancel the print job that shows NOT RESPONDING via Task Manager, either.
In fact, the only way the Print Queue icon disappears is if I totally reboot my computer!
"Luckily", I can still print e-mails, Word documents, and even my downloaded PDF of my
bank statement.
So, I was thinking that it was *only* PIXMA'S OWN SCANNED PDFS that could not be
printed ON THE SAME PIXMA 479.
However, I have since realized that I also cannot print USPS Signature Proof of Delivery
PDFs that I received from USPS via e-mail.
So why can I print *some* PDF files, but not *all* PDF files, like I previously could do?
THESE SCANS ARE OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS, SO I WILL LIKELY HAVE TO E-MAIL
THE REQUISITE, PREVIOUSLY SCANNED PDFS TO FEDEX TO PAY FOR *THEM*
TO PRINT THEM.
NOTE: I *have* tried turning the PIXMA off, unplugging it, rebooting the computer, plugging
the PIXM in and restarting the PIXMA - still no ability to print PIXMA-scanned PDFs.
And, I find it very strange that e-mails, Word documents, and some other PDFs print with
no problem "around" "NOT RESPONDING" PIXMA print jobs.
I have owned Canon printers for years, including the MX420, and the MX340.

There may be some security issues related to the USPS PDFs.

I can't help with the scan/print problem. You seem to have done everything I would try.
I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.

SAP version 4.7 Email pdf file that is password protected.

Hi Gurus,
We have a requirement:
Email pdf file that is password protected.
Once the user receives the email, clicks on the attached pdf file,
     it should ask the password. Note that Password value should come from SAP.
What we have done is get the spool number and by using function module CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF, it converts the spool document to pdf.
On this function module, there are no parameters to make pdf as password protected and
also include the password. This is the problem.
Question:
   (a) Is there a way to make pdf password protected that will be emailed?
        What function modules, etc to be used? (sample coding if available)
   (b) Somebody mentioned the that Adobe LiveCycle Policy Server should be installed together with SAP.
        If this is installed, how then would be the abap coding be in order to make the pdf password
            protected?
        How is the new policy server gonna be linked to SAP and how do the abap coding gonna be?
           (sample abap coding if available)
Thanks.

Overwriting a PDF file that is open on another computer

Hi!
Instead of a intranet, we decided to post a PDF file via network mapping to keep the staff updated on the latest news.
We use a mapped network folder as source for the documents, and one document with links so the staff can navigate to relevant information. The staff opens the PDF-file in IE.
The problem we have is that whenever someone in the staff has opened the document in IE we are unable to edit the PDF in Word and overwrite the PDF-file that are availible to the staff.
Is there any way that we can make the file overwritable when someone has opened it, and the person that is reading the file can simple refresh and get the updated information?
This document will be edited by several departement managers, so it's impossible for us to use other editing tools than Office (which they are already used to).
Thanks in advance.

I'm not an expert on editing files that are opened by another application, but I am not sure it _can_ be done the way you currently have it set up. At least as far as IE is concerned. (And I hate IE, too.. never did like it.)
IMHO, the file should be stored in a database; that way, no matter how many people are accessing it, you can make changes and save them to the binary stored in a BLOB/CLOB datatype. And if you (exclusive) lock the record as it's being saved, whomever is trying to access it will be "paused" until the save is complete and they will then retrieve the latest update without any corruption of data, or other 'hiccup'.
If a database is not an option, I'm not sure what to do. If it were an intranet, it might be different. But a network share isn't the best solution. It might be cost-saving or easier to maintain; but there's a saying - You can have it cheap, fast, or good; pick two.

Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a .chm file work intermittently.

SUMMARY
Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a
.chm file (and the Baggage Files) only work intermittently. The
only solution appears to be deleting the Temporary Internet Files.
PROBLEM
1. I place the XLS, DOC, or PDF file in the Windows
sub-directory that corresponds to the RoboHelp project sub-folder
where the topic in which I’ll place the hyperlink exists.
2. I open the help project in RoboHelp HTML.
3. I right-click on the project’s Baggage Files
sub-folder that corresponds to the Windows sub-directory in which I
placed the XLS, DOC, or PDF file (in step 1).
4. I import the XLS, DOC, or PDF file.
5. I open the topic in which I’m going to place the
hyperlink in the WYSIWYG editor.
6. I “drag and drop” the Baggage File into the
topic (in the WYSIWYG editor) to create a link to it.
7. I save the changes and then generate HTML (.chm) help.
8. I open the .chm file and click the hyperlink. The XLS,
DOC, or PDF file may or may not open.
9. When the hyperlink works correctly, for DOC and XLS files,
a “File Download – Security Warning” dialog box
appears asking, “Do you want to open or save this
file?”. The buttons that are available are
“Open”, “Save”, and “Cancel”.
These buttons work then as one would expect. (When the hyperlink
works correctly for a PDF file, it simply opens the PDF file in a
new window; there’s no prompt to save, open, or cancel.)
10. When a hyperlink does NOT work, for DOC, XLS, and PDF
files, no dialog box or other visual message is displayed. Instead,
the sound that is associated with the “Exclamation”
program event is played (the “Windows XP
Exclamation.wav” file is the WinXP default).
Other Notes:
- The hyperlinks ALWAYS work when I view a topic using the
“View Selected Item” function (Ctrl+W) in the RoboHelp
HTML project.
- Once a hyperlink stops working, it will not start working
again until I delete all the Temporary Internet Files.
- A hyperlink will stop working even if Internet Explorer
(iexplore.exe) is closed the entire time.
WORKAROUND
Through trial and error, I have discovered that if a
hyperlink stops working, I can get it to work again using the
following steps:
1. Leave the .chm file open.
2. Open Internet Explorer.
3. Click Tools>Internet Options….
4. From the “Internet Options” dialog box, select
the “General” tab.
5. Under the “Temporary Internet Files” section,
click the “Delete Files…” button.
6. From the “Delete Files” dialog box, select
“Delete all offline content” and then click
“OK”. The files are deleted and the “Delete
Files” dialog box closes.
7. Click “OK” to close the “Internet
Options” dialog box.
8. Without closing Internet Explorer and without re-starting
the .chm file, all the hyperlinks that didn’t work before
will now work.
GENERAL SYSTEM INFORMATION
- Windows XP Pro, SP2
- Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180
- RoboHelp X5, 5.0.2 Build 801
- HTML (.chm) help project files exist on my local machine
- HTML (.chm) help file is run from my local machine
- Project is under RoboSource version control
TEMPORARY INTERNET SETTINGS
- “Check for newer versions of stored pages” is
set to “Automatically”
- “Current location” for the Temporary Internet
files folder is set to “C:\Documents and Settings\My
Username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\”
- “Amount of disk space to use” is set to
“594” MB
“View Files…”
- An XLS or DOC file will be listed here if I click its
hyperlink and then click either “Open” or
“Save” from the “File Download – Security
Warning” dialog box.
- A file will appear here even if I click “Save”
and then click “Cancel” from the subsequent “Save
As” dialog box.
- If I click “Cancel” from the “File
Download – Security Warning” dialog box, the file does
not appear in the Temporary Internet Files folder.
- When a file does appear in the Temporary Internet Files
folder, its Internet Address is displayed similar to the following:
“ms-its:C:\PrimaryProjectFolder\ProjectName.chm::/SubFolderName/FileName.xls”
“View Objects…”
Here’s a list of all the program files that appear:
- “Microsoft Office Template and Media Control”
(Last Accessed 12/13/06) (Version 12,0,6024,0)
- “Shockwave ActiveX Control” (Last Accessed
12/14/06) (Version 10,1,4,20)
- “Shockwave Flash Object” (Last Accessed
12/18/06) (Version 9,0,28,0)
- “Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool”
(Last Accessed 12/14/06) (Version 1,5,722,0)
- “WUWebControl Class” (Last Accessed 12/13/06)
(Version 5,8,0,2469)
Today is 12/18/06 so the only program file that is listed as
having been “Last Accessed” today is the
“Shockwave Flash Object”.
REQUEST FOR HELP
I really want to include certain PDF, DOC, and XLS files in
their native format in a .chm file. However, I need a better
solution to my problem than the one I discovered. What I really
want is to avoid the entire problem altogether.
Have anyone seen this before or have any suggestions?

You wont be able to do that. The embedded objects would appear as images only.
