Convert pdfs to word from emails

Hi
I am unable to convert pdf files to word from my emails
Can anyone help
Thanks

Maybe some more information from you would help. This is the Adobe Reader forum and it doesn't convert files all on it's own.

Connect to AdobeID for converting PDF to WORD from Adobe Reader

Hello,
I can not connect to Acrobat.com from Adobe Reader. I always have an error message: A network error occurred when attempting to connect.
I tried to uninstall the application and reinstall and still the same error

Hi Anne,
What happens when you try to sign in directly to cloud.acrobat.com/export? I don't see any issues with your account, so you shouldn't have trouble logging in.
Let me know how that goes.

Error when I sign in to the Convert PDF to Word feature

When I sign in to the Convert PDF to Word feature, after I enter my password I get a message "An error occurred while signing in" and the feature locks up, giving the same message if I use the "convert" button, can anyone help with this. Adobe Support sent 3 emails to reset my password all of which timed out before I could get to them. I have changed my password and it is still the same. Help please.

Hello Kathie,
Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
Please let me know if you have tried converting any other PDF to word with Reader.
Alos, please sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials. Click on 'ExportPDF' tab and upload the PDF that you want to convert to Word.
Let me know if this converts fine.
Hope to hear from you.
regards,

Trying to convert pdf to word - error message " an error occurred while signing in " - How do i get it to work ?

have been using convertor form more than a year now to convert pdf to word documents
have started to get message 'an error occurred while signing in'
Help please ??

This email is in response to support case #0185407323 submitted by Lowell Peterson.
I keep submitting the same problem and keep getting exactly the same response, which is not helpful. My problem is this: for over a year I have been converting .pdf documents to Word by clicking on Tools with a .pdf document open in Adobe Reader, then clicking on Convert. After a brief waiting signal, I am told to download and save the document. Perfect. But recently, every time I try to do exactly the same thing I get the message that says, "An error occurred while signing in."
I have followed this advice multiple times:
Do you get that error when you try to convert a file from within Reader? If so, please try this:
Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Adobe Reader > Preferences (Mac OS).
Click Adobe Online Services on the left side.
Sign out of our Adobe ID and sign back in.
Try to convert your document again.
THIS PROCESS DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING. I JUST KEEP ON GETTING THE ERROR MESSAGE.
If you continue to have trouble, please verify that you can access the service via the web interface. To do this:
Open a browser and navigate to http://exportpdf.acrobat.com/signin.html
Try to log in with your Adobe ID (email address) and password.
Once logged in, follow the on-screen prompts to convert a file.
THIS WORKS, BUT WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THESE STEPS WHEN I AM ALREADY IN A .PDF DOCUMENT WITH A "TOOLS" PANEL TELLING ME I CAN DO IT FROM THERE. PLUS, THIS MAY BE MY STUPIDITY, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO "SAVE" THIS LINK, SO EVERY TIME I WANT TO CONVERT A DOCUMENT, I HAVE TO LOOK UP THIS ADVICE, THEN FOLLOW ALL THE STEPS. IT WAS A GREAT DEAL SIMPLER AND LESS TIME CONFUSING WHEN I COULD JUST DO IT FROM "TOOLS."
Any idea what the problem is~??

Converting pdf to Word 2003 in Acrobat 9 Pro

I am using Acrobat 9 Pro. I want to convert pdfs to Word 2003. I have followed the instructions to export to Word, but when I get to the dialog box that selects the conversion method, I choose Flowing, which is recommended, and click OK, and I get an error message that my PDF document may be corrupt. This happens with every pdf, whether it is a form downloaded from the internet or a text document I have created myself. If I try to convert to RTF instead, it makes the "conversion", but in doing so, it creates a file containing an image that is not editable -- it does not create a plain text, editable file.
Is the problem that I am using Word 2003? Word 2003 is not on the list of file formats to which the pdf can be exported, but when I get to that screen, I choose Workshare PDF in Word (which I believe I read somewhere is the correct choice for conversion to Word 2003) as my selection and it gets me to the "conversion method" screen (which gets me to the corruption error message). Again, even if I choose rtf, I do not get an editable document.
Any ideas???

Something to try -
Export the PDF to RTF.
Open the RTF file with Word Pad.
Save As (perhaps to a new filename -- 'something_bis.rtf')
Open this file with MS Word.
Not particularly surprising that the PDF you posted behaves poorly when 'worked' with Acrobat.
It is an output of Ghostscript.
Compounding the awkwardness of export is the fact that the PDF is not a Tagged PDF.
A significant raison d'etre for Tagged PDF is to support export of PDF content to a word processor application.
Be well...

I am trying to convert PDF to word. With my PC I get a message "Error occurred while trying to access the service. It worked fine for a long time. Has been doing this for days now with all files i try to convert.

Hi bert090909,
Are you trying to convert your files from within Adobe Reader? If so, please make sure that you have the most current version by choosing Help > Check for Updates. Earlier versions of Reader could cause the specific error that you're reporting.
Please let us know how it goes.

Having problems converting pdf to word. I'm not able to convert the file, what do I need to do?

having problems converting pdf to word. I'm not able to convert the file, what do I need to do?

Hi prates77,
I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble converting files. Are you receiving the conversion error regardless of the file that you try to convert? Does the error occur whether you use the web interface, or convert via Reader? And an odd question: how many files do you have stored in your Acrobat.com account? We have seen reports of this error when there are a large number of files stored in the root folder of your Acrobat.com account.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara

I have Adobe Reader XI with the package that allows me to send pdfs and convert pdfs to Word. When I open a pdf and try to search the search shows no matches even though the word I am searching for is in the document. Any suggestions how to search?

Once again, my thanks for your assistance. If I may impose on your generosity one more time, if I understand you correctly if I create a document on Word or WordPerfect, print it and scan it to create a pdf, the search function will not work. But, if I create the pdf document in Word the search function will work. Unfortunately, I am not sure how I create a pdf document in Word other than by printing it and scanning it. Could you please explain.

How do I convert PDF to word on a mac?

Hi,
I'm new to apple products and i'm struggling to find how i convert a pdf file to word. On a PC the option automatically popped up on the file or edit and right click. There is no right click on a mac from what I can see and there is no option in file or edit.
Any help grately received.
Thanks in advance
Jo

I've found that some of the non-Adobe converters (and some of the free online converters) don't do such a good job as Acrobat Pro. If you want to try it out, you can download one of the free 30-day trial packages from Adobe that include Acrobat Pro X (such as Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard),
but it is really very expensive, but there are many other third pary PDF converter progarms out there:

Converting PDF to word using OCR

How do I convert a PDF file to Word format without the text changing on the Word document?

Hi IBEW45,
OCR is enabled by default when you convert a PDF to Word via the ExportPDF website. Just make sure that you're selecting the correct language for character recognition.
If you're converting to Word from within Reader, it is possible to disable OCR. If you're encountering issues where there are odd characters in the converted Word file, you may be running into font issues. A good troubleshooting technique is to disable OCR. Here are the instructions: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel.
Please let us know how it goes.

Cannot convert pdf to word, then open.

I recently purchased adobe to convert pdf to word. I go through all the steps, the file is supposedly converted and saved into a downloads folder. From there I cannot open the file, or save it to another file, as is suggested. The same 'prompt' box just keeps popping up and I can never actually open the file. What am I missing?

Sara:
A little more cumbersome but going to the AdobeAcrobat.com works.
Thanks for the help.
Have a great day.

Convert pdf to word doc?

How do I convert a pdf that is in preview to
a word doc?

I've found that some of the non-Adobe converters (and some of the free online converters) don't do such a good job as Acrobat Pro. If you want to try it out, you can download one of the free 30-day trial packages from Adobe that include Acrobat Pro X (such as Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard) and try it out for yourself. It won't cost you a thing to use for 30-days and each app is fully functional.
Just my 2¢... and if you want to get the best final product. Adobe also has an online service - Adobe CreatePDF -that will convert PDF to Word.
I think that it's free for a one-off.
Good luck,

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?

How do I convert PDF to Word in Croatia?

Hi mirkok88586581,
You can use Acrobat DC to convert PDF files to Word. If you don't have Acrobat, you're welcome to try it for free for 30-days. You can download the trial from this page: Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat Pro DC.
(We also have an ExportPDF online subscription which allows you to convert PDF to Word, but that subscription is not available in Croatia.)
