Convert pdf to text in adobe pro x

I would like to convert a PDF document into text. Can someone advise?

If the PDF was originally scanned as a picture (JPG) there will be no "renderable" text in it to save from. You'll need to run OCR on it in order to save it as text. Reader CANNOT do OCR, Acrobat Pro can, under Tools.

Can I convert PDF to PPT using adobe acrobat x standard? If so, how?

Can I convert PDF to PPT using adobe acrobat x standard? If so, how?

Hi meganl52100253,
With Acrobat X, you can save to Word and Excel format by choosing File > Save As. But saving to PowerPoint wasn't introduced until Acrobat XI.
You're welcome to try Acrobat if you'd like. You can download a free 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
Best,

Why does all alphabets change to capital when converting pdf to word using Adobe Acrobat XI

Why does all alphabets change to capital when converting pdf to word using Adobe Acrobat XI

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?

I purchased PDF Converter Plus, v1.0 (4 ). I am unable to convert PDF into text. I get all gibberish when I try to do the conversion.

I purchased PDF Converter Plus, v1.0 (4 ). I am unable to convert PDF into text. I get all gibberish when I try to do the conversion.

I went to the site and did exactly as the 'support' said. I tried three PDF documents for conversion to Word. On clicking 'convert', the last window gives the file with .doc suffix. After I save and open it the window says, "The XML file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents." Under "Details", it says, "Incorrect document syntax".
Please guide me further.
Thanks

Converting .pdf files to Word in Pro v9 for Mac

I have just purchased a copy of Acrobat Pro v9 for Mac with the idea of converting .pdf files to word documents in the correct format and for editing. When I attempt to export a .pdf file to Word (2008) or save as a Word doc or docx file, the file doesn't open and my Word program freezes. To unfreeze, I need for force quit Word and begin again. I was told that pdf to word could be done in this version of Acrobat. Has anyone had this experience?

What type Document, was it to begin with? (Text/Image)
If the PDF was a Text document, you should be able to with no problem?
IF text based and converted, try opening word first then open the document.
There is a format that Word will read called RTF (Rich Text File), that Word can read.
Try converting to RTF then try opening. When opened then save as DOC or DOCX
If it was created from a scan, Word my not open it, because it is an image (a Big Picture).
Finally, if it has a lot of images, they may not do right, and may cause a lot of problems.

Problem converting PDF to text

I have the latest version of adobe on an xp and I am converting pdf files to text files. I get the first couple of files completed fine, the download really fast, like 300 pages in less than 30 secounds. Then the it starts to lock up. It takes forever to download a document that is 30 pages. Anyone know what is going on?
I have tried this on both of my computers and the same thing happens. These are ebooks in pdf that I am converting to text files because the font is to small to be viewed on the sony 505 using pdf even enlarged.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

>I am converting to text files because the font is to small to be viewed on the sony 505 using pdf even enlarged
That doesn't make sense. Especially since you can easily enlarge up to 6,500%. One font could fill the screen.
Also, what do you mean by downloading? If you are converting a PDF to text, where does downloading anything come in to play?
And, Adobe what? You are talking about Reader correct? Adobe is a company with many applications.

Disabling open pdf in browser in adobe PRO XI not reader

I have deployed adobe pro out to our user base and i understand in adobe PRO X there was a check box that would disable open pdf in a browser but that has gone away. I have gone under the preferences and on the internet section in PRO XI there is a link that takes you
here: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html I have created a GPO that disables the active X control in both IE 8 and IE 10 as you can see from this screen shot the adobe pdf reader is disabled so according to the instructions on the web all pdf files should open in PRO XI. This is not the case. The pdf will still open in the browser. I have checked the new customizations wizzard for adobe PRO XI and there is nothing to disable disply pdf in the browser to uncheck that i am aware of. I have read about the bdisablewebintegration but this have not worked either under the FeatureLockDown. In adobe reader you can go under the accessibilty options and disable open within a browser there but I have been unable to find that option in PRO XI. Had anyone found a fix for this issue to where it can be deployed out?
Please let me know
Thanks

From the screenshot it looks like you have both Acrobat and Reader on the machine and only Reader is disabled.
Check again. If you think the doc is incorrect, post back.
--- more info ---
All browser integration prefs were deprecated with 11.x because browser companies are releasing new versions every 6 weeks or more. It was simply not possible to keep pace without requiring admins to update every few weeks. Moreover, most browsers are gradually phasing out such plugins or at least disable them by default (e.g. Chrome). Many companies provide a browser-specific PDF viewer. Acrobat and Reader share the same config and there's nothing different between the two.

Lifecycle form (pdf) reader extended though adobe pro will not email though adobe reader

I have windows 7, adobe pro X and adobe reader X, and thunderbird 9.01 email client.
I have a PDF form (created in lifecycle 9.0.0.2_) that is complete and is reader extended though adobe pro x.
It will send the email correctly in abobe pro x, it opens all the correct windows etc and sends, and I receive the filled out PDF form.
When I open the form in adobe reader X it opens the correct window as before, but never sends the email.
Can any one here be of some help.
Thanks
Steve

As I understand your post, you have the form from Designer that you added Reader Extensions in Acrobat Pro X. With Acrobat, the e-mail submission works fine, but with Reader, the e-mail is not sent and no error messages are given.
I am not sure if the Reader Extensions need to be done from Designer or Acrobat. That is the only issue that I can think of, but did not think it was an issue. I am not a Designer user and so it may be hard to tell. You might need to ask in the LiveCycle forum for Designer.

Converting PDF to excel using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

I am trying to convert long but simple PDFs to excel but I keep getting an error message. I have tried disabling OCR, but nothing. Some of my files are rather large, but smaller than 100MB. Any suggestions?

Hi Sara,
I'm working on an Imac 3.2GHz Intel Core i5 running OS X 10.9.5. Sometimes
Acrobat just shuts down, sometimes it stops responding and I have to force
quit, and other times I get this message: "Save as failed to process this
document. No document was created".
I don't know exactly how the PDFs were created, as they come from another
institution. They look as if they were exported from excel though. The
thing is I have several files, all with the same structure, from the same
source, and the small ones were converted without a problem, but the large
ones simply won't. I'm attaching one of the files, perhaps you can see for
yourself something useful.
Thanks,
Mariana

Can't print scanned pdf files Xerox 3450 Adobe Pro and Reader 9

I have a user that cannot print PDF's made up of scanned images to a network printer.
The job goes to the printer and spools up but hangs at either 64kb or 255kb and then errors out.
Even if I print just one page, it does the same thing.
Folks with Acrobat Pro 8 or Reader 8 can print the same file to the same printer with no problems.
OS: XP
Network Printer: Xerox Phaser 3450 PS
Adobe: Reader 9.1.3 and Acrobat Professional 9.1.3
I have tried the following:
On the Xerox 3450 PS Printer:
- disabling Advanced Printing Options
- changing Post script options to: EPS, optimize for speed, optimize for portablity
- reloading the printer drivers
- unmapping/remapping the printer on the customer's system.
In the Reader and Acrobat Pro print options:
- print only Document rather than Document and Markups
- print as image
- unchecked 'convert to true type1'
- changed options to Send for each page, send by range,
- tried using Language level 2
- reinstalling Adobe Reader 9
This happens once the customer is upgraded to Adobe Reader 9. If I disable the 'Advanced Printer options' he can print OCR/Text PDF files but cannot print even a single page Scanned image PDF file. The spooler hangs at 255kb and then the print job errors out.
I confirmed this same issue on multiple machines and on other Xerox 3450 printers on multiple print servers. It is the same for Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.
The machines and users are in different parts of the country on different print servers but the symptoms are the same: after being upgraded to Adobe Reader 9.1.3 or Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.1.3 they cannot send certain PDF files (so far just scanned image files) to a Xerox 3450 PS network printer.
Any suggestions on what to try next would be appreciated.

This problem plagued me for several weeks, until I found a solution that has allowed me to print scanned documents as quickly as a text document.
I have confirmed this worked on several network X3450 printers using Adobe Reader 9.1.3 and Adobe Acrobat Professional v9.1.3
In the Reader and Acrobat Pro print options:
    Click on the Advanced button and uncheck "Print as image" if it's checked.
    Click on "Let printer determine colors" to enable this option
    Click OK and Print.
After making this change, the document queued up and printed as fast a any text document printed.
I had a single page scanned text document which was about 19 KB, but when sent to the printer, the spooler grew from 10 MB to 50 MB to 80 MB, until an error occurred. Like you I tried many combinations until one worked. Then it was a matter of figuring out which setting was primarily responsible for allowing it to print quickly.
Most likely the problem is with the raster image processor (RIP) within Adobe Reader and Acrobat. By selecting the option to "Let the printer determine colors", it passes that part of the processing over to the RIP within the printer. Since the X3450 is not a color printer, the information is easily converted to grayscale and printed.
I'm still trying to absorb the information in the articles I have read so far, and I welcome any discussion about this from those more knowledgeable than I.
I hope this fix works for you as it did for me. I made a lot of happy customers once they were able to print since most of their documents are scanned rather than created with Acrobat.

Converting pdf to word with XI Pro

I just downloaded a free trial of Adobe XI Pro as I'm trying to convert a PDF document to a Word doc on my Mac. I successfully downloaded the software, registered with Adobe and signed in. But when I press the tab to "convert" I'm informed there's an error in signing in or conversely it prompts me to "Sign Up Now" again. Can you help me? Peter

Thank you for the response. I insereted several .pdf files into my MS Word document where they show as Acobat icons. When in MS Word, I am able to double-click on the icons and the files open in Acrobat. I then converted the MS Word document to a .pdf. These icons now only show as pictures and do not open the original inserted .pdf documents.

Converting PDF to XSTRING for Adobe in WD ABAP Application

I have a requirement to develop a WD abap application in the portal, where 300 PDF's would exist on our LAN all with the pernr number embedded in the name. When a user logs onto the portal, it would retrieve the correct PDF for their pernr and display in an adobe form. In the application, I know how I can use the username, to derive the pernr to get the PDF name.
Right now I can use the upload functionality to upload(with an upload UI element) a particular file and put in a PDF with adobe, However, If I want to point to a particular file (based on the pernr name) on a secure folder on our LAN, can I do that?
If I plug in a file name instead of using the upload UI element, I need to figure out how to convert the PDF to an XSTRING so that I can pass that xstring to the adobe form interface.
Also, is there even a way to assign a file name on a LAN to an upload element in a WD ABAP application or is it necessary to use the dropdown to retrieve the file name from the users desktop in order for it to convert ot a PDF correctly?
Thanks,
Pam Laverty

hi pam,
I think it's not possible to select the file automatically. use action must be there.
So use upload ui element, once you click on upload button and select the file, that file data will be in DATASOURCE ATTRIBUTE ( the attribute which is binded to data property of upload ui element ) OF UPLOAD UI element in XSTRING format.
From there you can pass it to pdf.

Adobe pro 9 perflight is giving errors while verify compilance with PDF/A-1a , but adobe pro 8 is not giving errors?

Hi,
Iam using preflight in adobe professional 9 to verify compilance with PDF/A-1a. Iam getting the following errors:
1.In an indirect object keyword "obj" is not accurately followed by an EOL marker. This is explicitly prohibited by some PDF-based iso standards.
2.In structured PDF the document's structure is described by a hierarchy of objects.Each element is described by a dictionay of type"strucElem".
But in the Adobe professional 8 iam no getting any errors for the same file...
Please help me why iam getting errors in version 9 only? why those errors are not showing in version 8?
Thanks & Regards,
Pathap.

Acrobat 9's preflight is a complete implementation of PDF/A validation,
while Acrobat 8's was missing some of the lower level tests.
