Convert InDesign File to a Word Document

I am trying to convert a file from an InDesign file to a word document and have fallen into a problem. I also have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and have tried to save my InDesign file as a PDF, so far so good. It looks perfect, but when I save the PDF as a .doc all of the text and pictures have moved around and the different frames used in InDesign have joined and there is no way to rearrange the pages like they were originally. I need to convert these pages to Word Perfect so that I can send them out and they can be edited. How can an InDesign file be saved to be used with Word Perfect? I thought if I converted it to a PDF and then to a word, everything would be fine, but the file isn't be converted correctly.

Short answer is you can't do it easily. Didn't you post this question in
ID forum awhile back?
If not, it was discussed there and you might want to search there. If it
was you, nothing's changed. What you want to do is just plain work and
you'll never get the same type of layout in a word processor as you will
in a pagelayout application.

    Not stupid you! To, from PDF--it gets confusing!
    To edit a PDF file, you need to use Acrobat. Depending on how much work needs to be done to the PDF, it may make sure sense to edit in Word, and then reconvert to PDF. Acrobat doesn't function as a word processor, so while limited changes to the text should be fine, extensive updates may not yield the results you're looking for.
    That said, if you don't have Acrobat, you are welcome to try it for free for 30 days. For more information, see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.

  • How do I convert a file to a word document

    How do I convert a file in pages to a word document so I can attach it to an email?

    This is pretty infuriating. There is NO way to SAVE AS a Word document. You can only export it to Word. I'm getting increasingly irritated by people saying 'That's the same as a Save'. No it's not!
    At home I have a Mac, but at work we use PCs. I don't have Word on my Mac (or Pages on PC, obviously). When preparng documents at home, the ability to Save AS a Word document has been crucial. Now that has been removed. I am being forced to shell out for Word. Once I have Word (a far better application than Pages, IMO) I will simply cease to use Pages.
    Why would Apple want to force dual-platform users to purchase one of their rivals products? Especially when this would mean less people using Pages as a result? Baffling, yet somehow not surprising...

  • Converting pdf file to a word document

    I'm trying to convert a pdf file to a word doc during the trial period but I'm having trouble. Does anyone know how I can achieve this?

    Windows does not really tell us the OS. There are many variations, including 32 and 64-bit systems.
    Anyway, assuming you are using Acrobat XI, you to to File>Save As and select to export to WORD. You should find 2 choices, retain format and retain flow or somthing like that. You should probably try both.

  • I want to use adobe to convert aPDF file into a word document that I can edit.How??

    I select a PDF file and then use adobe to open it .It then asks me do I want to "save" the file.I save it and when I open it there is nothing there?There is no option to immediately open it in word!
    How does this thing work?

    Good day,
    After you've saved the converted file to your hard drive, you'll want to navigate to where it's been saved and then open it in Word. 
    Alternatively, you could convert your files using ExportPDF's web interface.  To do this, simply visit http://exportpdf.acrobat.com and click 'Sign in' at the top right corner.  Enter your Adobe ID (email address) credentials to log into the service. After you're logged in, you should see the ExportPDF interface, with a button saying 'Select PDF file..' to get the process started.
    Please let us know if you have any questions.
    Kind regards,
    David

    I am trying to convert a PDF to a Word document using Acrobat Pro 9 but am unable to find "Content to edit" under tools.  Do I need a newer version?

    Acrobat 9 Pro (not Standard) can export ("convert") PDF to Word, RTF, or other text formats.
    Click-path:  File - Export
    Take your pick.
    With install of Acrobat 9 the Help PDF is installed also.
    From the this PDF's Bookmarks expand Chapter 5's bookmark and select "Convert PDFs to Word".
    Be well...

    Select the file that you want to download.

  • Cannot search file content on Word document with embedded Excel table

    Cannot search file content on Word document with embedded Excel table. I have Windows 8.1 64-bit and Office 2010 Professional. Only phrases from within Excel tables are not searchable. I have many Word documents with embedded Excel table.
    I use it for my invoices. Those invoices are converted to pdf to be sent via mail. Searching the same phrases in related pdf files Works fine. And yes, folders are indexed, searching service is active......... For example I can find all invoices that have
    specific address or name, which is located in word document, but cannot find invoices with specific item name or price, being that information is in embedded Excel table. (not linked, embedded). I thought that is a question for Windows forum, but guys directed
    me here on Office forum. To clarify, I do not use Ctrl+F inside some document, but Windows Search in my folders. Probably the same happens in Office 2013.
    Thank you.

    Hi, I have a lot of Word documents (invoices, offers). Main part of those documents is embedded Excel file because it is easier to do mathematics in Excel than in Word. There are columns with description, unit price, quantity, taxes... Now, I need
    to find who bought HP switch 2530-24G last year. I open folder with last year invoices and search "2530". Cannot find any. But if that document was converted to pdf for mail, than I can find that phrase. Windows search does not work for content if the content
    is in embedded file.
