If it is a 64-bit system, your install process is to upgrade to AA XI. If it is a 32-bit system, then you should be able to install it. However, you will have to change the printer port in the Adobe PDF printer properties to File rather than Adobe PDF to Desktop\*.* or what ever. When you create PDFs you will have to use a 2 step process -- print the file (will have a PRN extension though it is a PS file) and then open the file in Distiller to create a PDF. With Acrobat 6, you should even be able to use PDF Maker (unless you are upgrading OFFICE also and then you would have to upgrade to AA XI for it), but again you will have to open the file in Distiller to create the PDF.
There will likely be other things that will go wrong, but that would have to be dealt with to see if there is a workaround. MS has been changing the guts of their operating system so fast, they are making previous programs obsolete. Keep in mind that AA 6 is five versions back from the current.
I am suggesting this approach since I was successful in an experiment of installing AA5 on Win7, 32-bit. Now I have AA XI on that machine. As I said it was just an experiment.

Hi karenb60536875,
There are some PDF types (such as those that are password-protected) that can't be converted. But when that's the case, you'll get a message during conversion, and the conversion will stop. It doesn't sound like that's the case for you.
What happens when you open the converted Word document in Word? Do you see an Enable Editing button at the top of the document? If so, please click that. If you're still unable to select text in the Word document, try triple-clicking to select it.
For reference, I will say that the quality of the conversion depends on the quality of the PDF (see Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community). So, there may be cases where a PDF written by a third-party application (a non-Adobe app), may not be written to spec, and that can affect the accuracy of the conversion.

I bought your program to convert PDF files to WORD doc. files. I did this and when I send the files as an attachment to recipients the recipients say the attachment is blank! I want a refund!!

I bought this Adobe program to convert PDF files to Word doc. files so I could e-mail them as an attachment to people who do not have Adobe Reader. When the people got my e-mail with the attachment and opened it. The attachment was BLANK!! Is there a way to correct this?? or should I just get my money back and cancel this program?

Hi bogy,
How very frustrating! I'm sorry that your email attachment was blank. I'm sure this is a silly question, but did the Word file display as expected on your own machine? If not, then the issue is quite likely with the conversion from PDF to Word (but what you describe isn't a common issue that we're hearing about).
If it looks OK for you, then I suspect the issue lies outside of ExportPDF. If the Word doc is blank when you open it, then please tell me a bit more about the PDF that you're trying to convert and we will take it from there.

Sara

Any way to help me convert PDF format to word(.doc) on Mac

Hi,guys.Is there any one tell me how to convert PDF to word on Mac?
I am a middle school teacher.Recently I have a download some PDF file need to transfer to word as material for my working.As I use Mac OS has been doubly difficult for me,beacuse I am not familiar with mac system.
So any idea helpfully would be appreciated.

There is a very simple method and doesn't require new software.
Open a new Word document
Open the PDF in Preview (i.e., double click or right click and open with ... Preview)
Using the TEXT tool (button labeled "A') highlight the text you want to copy, then copy (i.e. Edit ... Copy, or right click .... Copy, or Command+C)
Paste the text into a Word document, and it will be editable.
If you want to copy the entire contents, you can use Command+A to select all contents, then copy and paste to Word document.
Preview actually works much better than Acrobat Professional in this respect because you don't carry over junk code from PDF.

Convert PDF Image to Word Doc

I am having trouble converting PDFs with images. The wording shows, but the images show distorted and jumbled. I have also tried turning off the OCR and that only gives me all black pages. The whole point in purchasing this was to convert my PDFs with the images. How can I fix this?

Hi abitocd,
Do you know how the PDF files were created? The quality of the PDF determines the quality of the conversion, so it could be that the PDFs aren't well-formed, and therefore, won't convert well. Can you please open one of your PDF files in Reader or Acrbat, choose File > Properties, and then note what the PDF Creator is? That may give us some insight into why your PDFs are converting the way that they are.
Best,
Sara

Converting pdf to editable word doc

Does anyone know if you can convert pdf files back into an
editable word document? If so, how?
Thank you.

Hello Murphy#1,
Thanks for your post.
Converting PDF to another file type is outside of the scope
of Acrobat.com's functionality. Of course that doesn't mean the
operation can't be done!
I performed a
Google
search for PDF to Word and saw a few options.
You may consider looking one or more of these.
Or if you'd like, you could ask this question over on the
Acrobat forums, as some users there may be performing this type of
workflow as well.
Acrobat
Pro Forums
Give some of those suggestions a try!
Cheers,
Pete

Embed a font in a PDF(generated by Word 2013) using Adobe Acrobat XI

Hi all,
I wrote my thesis in Word 2013 using the LaTex font "LM Roman 12" that is an Open Type font not restricted (it results "Editable").
Although it is marked as opentype, word doesn't embed it into the exported pdf and I guess that is becouse the font is identified as Type1.
I more or less solved the problem printing the word file using Adobe PDF Printer or converting it with Abobe Acrobat XI, but I'd like to use the pdf generated by word becouse auto-creates index, links index items to contents and doesn't resize/alter the images inside the document.
The screenshot above is the properties of the pdf generated from word.
Is there a simple way to force the embedding in this pdf of the missing not embedded fonts?

Word 2013 uses its own pdf creator engine as far as I know. The step I performed were:
1 - In the save settings I told word to embed fonts (sorry for the language, I have the Italian client)
2 - Export from Word -> Save As -> .pdf adding also the table of contents/index
N.B. I cannot use PDF/A, and in any case it doesn't embed the font
A working solution is to use Acrobat XI to convert it or print with Adobe PDF printer, results:
The problems are 2:
1 - It doesn't create any bookmark and doesn't create links from the table of images to the linked images
2 - Images, also with the preset "High Quality Printing" customized using "No compression", are really ugly and if you zoom a bit more than 100% they totally be s**t. It wasn't that way with PDF created by word.
In the end, or I find they way to open the pdf created by word and embedd the missing font, or I find a way to make Acrobat XI creating bookmarks from the word file.
Suggestion?

PDF converted to a messy Word Doc, why is it so

I just purchased PDF converter and tried to convert pdf to a Word doc and half of the document was jumbled up, I restarted my computer and did it again and the same thing happened. Does anyone know why this is happening, there is no point having the converter if I have to make up a whole new document

Hi Sonia,
I'd like to assist!
Would you mind telling me more about your PDF? What type of document was it prior to becoming a PDF? Are there any graphics or pictures? Was it scanned?
Looking forward to hearing back from you!
Kind regards, Stacy

Is there a way to change PDF files to Word Doc on my iPad? I subscribed to it.

I just subscribed the converting PDF file to Word doc. But I would like to use my iPad for this. Does anyone know how to do it?

For starters, you can take a look at the Help document in Adobe Reader for iOS.
Go to Reader's home screen.
Tap Help (in the lower left corner).
Tap Handbook (in the right pane).
Select "Acrobat.com and the Cloud".
The page describes various operations (Logging in, Exporting PDFs, etc.).
Please let us know if you have any specific questions.

Unable to convert PDF file into word document

I just signed up with Adobe in order to convert a PDF file into a word document and it continues to fail. Any suggestions.

If you have adobe X, simply go to "File" -> "Save-As" and Microsoft Word is an option. Also, there is a download (paid) called Able2Extract that will allow you to convert pdfs to word, excel, etc. but the formatting is often lost. If you get the premium package, you can even convert scanned documents. I've used Adobe X to do the conversion, and it retains headers, footers and all formatting.
And i personally share you with a article about how to converting PDF files to Word(.doc), you just need to follow the easy guide.
Hope it can help you a lot.

Hi Linda,
I just tried it, and was able to convert a Word .doc to to PDF, in spite of the fact that it was marked Read Only. Here are the instructions for uploading and converting to PDF with Acrobat.com:

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!
