Converting a PDF into an Indesign doc.

Hello everybody,
Is it possible to convert a PDF into an Indesign File?  I am using Indesign CS5.5
Thanks in advance for the help!

No you can´t.
There´s couple of thing you can try, but I´m afraif none of them are quite perfect...
1) Open you PDF into Illustrator and copy/paste or drag&drop the content of the page into InDesign from there. Cons are; you can do only one page at the time and your text will be converted to outlines during the process
2) Save your PDF as RTF or Word document from Acrobat Professional and place resulting file to InDesign with File>Place commans. You probably have to redo most of the layout, but with correct settings you may be able to preserve text as editable mode and have some styles and graphic elements still after placing....
Steve´s suggestion is only deasent way to do that.

  • Adobe reader has just stopped allowing me to convert a pdf into a word doc.

    I have been converting PDF documents today and just randomly, it stopped allowing me to do that. When I click the convert button, it pops up with a message saying, "An error has occurred while trying to access the service." I really need this function ASAP. What can I do to fix this??

    Hi rolandl,
    This error has been popping up in Reader, and Adobe engineers are investigating the root cause. Please try signing out, and then signing back in. And if that does't do the trick, you should be able to sign in without issue directly to the ExportPDF website.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

    it seems my subscription had expired so I signed up again.. It was still having trouble so I repeated the sign up process again.. Then it worked perfectly.. Unfortunately, I think I just subscribed twice and need to cancel one of them. Ugh. Such a pain when I'm trying to get this project completed. I'll be canceling at least one of the subscriptions in the morning. Adobe is not my favorite company right now. None of this was intuitive. And trying to get help was an absolute waste of an hour.

    Hi Jack,
    What version of Acrobat are you using?
    You might need to go to File> Save As Other> Microsoft Word or choose 'Adobe PDF printer' from the File menu.
    Is save as option not functioning correctly? Do you get any specific error?
    Please let me know.

    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!

    Hi Michelle ,
    We are extremely sorry that you have had a bad experience with Adobe .
    As far as your issue is concerned ,Acrobat generally prompts for internet connection as it is required to activate the product before you could use it comfortably .Once the product is activated or licensed you would be able to use the software offline .
    This could be the possible reason you are experiencing this .Please check if you have done so and still facing this .And if you have not ,you need to license/activate your product by typing in your credentials ,i.e Adobe ID and password .
    You could also refer the following link to get updated about the activation of your product .

  • How can i convert my pdf into excel

    How can I convert my pdf into excel, the tutorial shows a "content converter" option under the tools section but I do not have that option. I have Acrobat Pro v11.

    With Acrobat XI Pro use this click-path:
    File - Save As Other - Spreadsheet -
    Then select the option desired.
    Be well...
