Convert a PDF File to an Indesign File

Can I convert a PDF File to an Indesign file.
Yvonne

Another way is to use Acrobat's built in conversion to Word or rtf and import that back into InDesign.
Either way, remember that PDF is a final form file format in which the original layout program docment's contexts such as what is an article, frame, paragraph, sentence, etc. are not maintained. All PDF maintains is content at a particular position on a particular page. As such all attempts to return such content to an editable format achieves somewhat mixed results.

    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,

  • ALL MY DESKTOP APPS CONVERTED TO PDF FILES.

    After sending an urgent email attachment in Adobe PDF to Government Offcom, all my Desktop applications in windows 7 64 bit have been converted to PDF files and cannot be opened.   The attachment used was sent to me by my Secretary remotely using an old MAC.
    I can return my laptop to normal operation by un installing my Adobe Reader 11 app, but the problem returns when I re Download Adobe Reader
    11 again.     After discussing this with Adobe Technical in London they advised me to raise this issue with your Adjudicators in this Forum. 
    Please assist asap as this is very urgent right now for several genuine reasons.
    Many thanks.   Derek Horder.

  • I need to convert a pdf file to word

    I'm trying to convert a pdf file to a word document, so i tried to use adobe reader and it asked me to sign up, i tried to sign up and it told me i couldn't purchase it (the adobe export pdf pack) since it is not available for my country. what do i do??

    Sorry, but your country isn't on the list of supported locations for Acrobat.com subscriptions

    Over time Adobe does add more choices, but in your specific case there are no options for any Adobe Store purchases, so I don't expect it will change anytime soon. Acrobat.com services aren't available through resellers.

  • I downloaded the adobe XI software and it shows in my Adobe download assistant as downloaded but I can not open it and it is not a part of my applications. Very frustrating download process as I just want to convert a PDF file to an editable word document

    Odonnells52 you will still need to install Adobe Acrobat Professional prior to being able to make edits to PDF or utilize Acrobat.   By default the installation files have been saved to your download folder.
    If you continue to face difficulties with the Adobe Download Assistant then please see Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant.
    You can also download the installation files directly from Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X if you are unable to locate the downloaded installation files.

  • How can I convert a PDF file in a CVS file

    I receive from my bank the monthly bankstatement as PDF file.

    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

  • Is it possible to convert several pdf files (into Excel or Word) at the same time ?

    I'd like to convert several pdf files (up to 500) into Excel at the same time. Is it possible ? How many files can Export PDF handle at the same time ?
    Thanks a lot for your answers,
    Sylvain

    Hi, Sylvain.
    This is a great idea! Currently, ExportPDF only can export 1 file at a time. (Acrobat can do a batch export using it's Action Wizard feature.)
    I added your idea to our idea list: http://forums.adobe.com/ideas/1499. If you'd like to see us add this feature, please go vote or add comment to this Idea on the idea list.

  • How to convert a pdf file into RTF format or Doc Format

    Hello
    I need to convert a pdf file into a rtf file or doc file.
    But i need to do this with a command line or with the api of acrobat.
    My version is adobe acrobat 9 standard.
    Is it possible to do this?
    So i see there's a convert pdf online.
    Is it possible to use this whith a web service?
    The final file (RTF or doc) must be analyse into an application
    Best regards

    Look at the doc.saveAs JavaScript method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.524.html
    You can save to other formats when you include the corresponding cConvID parameter. It can be used in a batch sequence, but you'll need the Pro version for that.

  • Converting a PDF file to Word format issue

    I am using Adobe Reader XI 11.0.09 with the paid side bar to convert the pdf file to an editable Word 2007 format. The problem is that the formatting after conversion is really bad and getting worse, example of the most recient: "I n  a cont ingent circumstance, an effect  results  from  clearly definable causes, t hough t he effect could be  different, given an entirel y  possible and  different interrelation of  causes. In   short, a  contingent  event   or thi ng is a nonnecessa ry event or thi ng tha t either might  not  exist or could  be other than it is."
    The conversion in the past was never this bad and I was hoping it was some setting but I have not found a way to tweak the settings in the converter. I have converted many pdf files and had no problems with the outcome of the conversion until recently.
    Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm trying to convert a PDF file to Word by using Adobe ExportPDF online. The file uploads okay and then the screen says it is converting - but it simply keeps displaying the "working" logo and never actually finishes. Any thoughts as to why this is so?

  • In converting a pdf file to xlxs it did not convert the first 48 lines.

    When I converted a pdf file that I originally created in Excel, it did not convert the first 48 rows of info.

    Good day Hudda,
    I've seen this behavior a few times over the last few months.  You could try disabling the 'Recognize text' function, but it may not help.  We're anticipating an update to the ExportPDF service within the next few weeks that should help with issues like this, but I don't have an immediate solution for you.
    Please let me know if you have any questions.
