Converting exported pdf to word

I am having a problem converting a pdf I received by e-mail to a word document.  I open it with adobe reader then export the pdf to convert to word 2007 or newer.  I do this online and when it comes back it is not any where close to correct.  what am I doing wrong.

Probably nothing. Conversion back to word depends a lot on the structure of the e-mail and all. To do it with Reader is difficult, but apparently you are using the on-line service. Neither Reader or the on-line service are the focus of this forum, but my guess is that Acrobat may do only slightly better. AA XI has done the best of any version I have ever used, but it often still is not very good.
I would suggest you ask the author for an original WORD document. That would be a lot easier in the long run. However, it might be that it was produced by WORD Perfect, Open/Libre Office, LaTeX, or a host of other editors and layout programs. In that case, it may be no better.
Layout is often the first thing to go. If you have equations, expect them to look like garble. Those are issues that Acrobat can just not complete well.

  • How do I convert a pdf in word and if I did where did it go or get sent to...

    Look I am not looking to discuss anything all I want is to convert the PDF into word.... I thought I did and it even looked like I did ... but I can't find it... just want steps to convert pdf to word document

    Hi Anna,
    If you are using Adobe online service, then you need to:
    Sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf" using your Adobe ID credentials.
    Select PDF files to export to Word.
    A pop up will come showing the download option.
    Click on that and download the converted file onto your system.
    You can also click on 'Files' tab to locate the converted files.
    On the other hand, if you are using Adobe Reader, all you need is to sign up and convert the file to word and later download it on your computer.
    Please try and let me know if you still face any problem.
    Regards,

    Hi Sara
    From the document
            When I try the file save as other, nothing happens after I click on Word or Excel Online.
            There is no way I can click on the convert button on Export PDF.
            I am logged in as you can see.                                                                               
            When I go to Cloud Acrobat I can see the file there but only as a PDF.
            There is no word document there.
            As you can see I have tried this more than once.
    I just don’t know what to do from there.
    Hope you can help
    Many thanks

  • Need help. Exporting pdf to Word or cretaing live fields in doc

    I need to take a 180pg doc and save it as a word doc or manage to turn all the necessary areas into live fields. I've tried going to export > word document or File > export to anything really and I keep getting this error message
    Adobe was unabl;e to make this document accessible becuase of the following error:
    Bad PDF; could not read page structure. Bad PDF; error in processing fonts cannot find CMap resource file> [3]
    I received this document form a client overseas. I can't get them to resend another copy.
    Anyway's I can get around this error? I'm desperate I have 9 other docs with the same amount of page to make live

    Sounds that you want to make the PDF files live and then edit them in Word? Why not directly edit them in Adobe Acrobat? It can help directly edit PDF, the conversion is unnecessary. And if you really want to export PDF to Word but the acrobat can help you little, you would try free PDF to Word Converter, which may help you for the conversion. However, I am not sure you would do that work well. Because I am a little confused about the problem you described. Just have a try and it may helps.

  • Converting difficult PDF to Word

    I need to convert a PDF to Word.  I've tried "Save as" and "Export to" using Adobe XI, but still get many errors in the Word document.  Any tips or tricks?  Thanks!

    What do you mean by "errors" in the Word document? Conversion can never look exactly like the PDF, even in theory, because Word is so much less capable than PDF, and because Word treats layouts as something to reflow and change.
