Converting pdf docs

How do I convert a PDF doc from Spanish to English please
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

I don't know what I missed to complete the procedure converting the program.
Well, there may not be more text that can be converted. It's as simple as that. PDFs are meant to represent the appearance of a document, so it's quite possible that even though something may appear like text, it is actually an image. The whole process is merely an option to provide a basis and half the time there is simply nothing there that could be extracted and the rest will require manual cleanup.

Hi beldon,
If you used the ExportPDF service to convert your PDF file to a Word doc, you can find it in your online account. Log in to https://cloud.acrobat.com using your Adobe ID and password, and click the Files tab. If you'd like to download the converted file, select it and click the download icon.
Please let us know how to goes.

Convert pdf doc to word doc in Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional

Scanned a doc to PDF now need to convert it into a word document I can edit.
Please help!

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.

Problems converting pdf to Word in Acrobat X Standard

I am not able to convert pdf docs into Word using acrobat x. I have tried running OCR before attempting the converstion but that does not help. It goes all the way through allowing me to save the document as a docx but then I get the message "Save As failed to process the document. No file was created". Any ideas?

You have both Adobe Reader (which offers one kind of conversion, paid for one way), and Adobe Acrobat Pro (which offers another kind of conversion, paid another way). Be sure you understand that these are two different bits of software, and that you can and must choose which one to use.

Edit PDF docs on an ipad2

I purchased the "convert PDFs to word/excel docs" for $23.99/year. I want to edit a PDF doc on my ipad2. So, I hit the "export from PDF" prompt and it sends me back to the "do you want to buy the convert PDF docs to word/excel". It is not recognizing that I purchased this option, though when I indicate "yes, I want to buy it", it comes back and says I have already purchased it! Can you help me?

I am sorry that you are seeing this. When you see the "do you want to buy", do you also see a "sign in" link? If so, you may not be logged. If you are logged in, can you please also go to the "My Account" section of the left-hand pane and verify that the user id there is the same user id that you used to purchase the subscription? If you are already logged in with the same user id you used to purchase the subscription, please share the user id with us at [email protected] so that we can look into this. Thank you!

Can Preview be set to automatically open PDF docs?

I am often converting/printing word docs into PDF docs in iMac Lion. I would like to set so converted PDF docs would open automatically in Preview.
Is it possible to set so? If then how?

Thanks but I already have Preview as default. It doesn't open freshly converted pdf-s automatically. I have to go to Finder and open them from there. I would like to skip that step and make Preview open freshly converted PDF doc automatically as soon as conversion is completed and document is created in Finder.

Can't convert PDF to Word Document!

I am not able to convert PDF docs to Word. I've tried the PDF conversion program and upgraded to the PDFPak for $89.99. Neither one of them work. What do I need to do?

Hi there gizmo5,
I see your ExportPDF subscription (active since August 6), but don't see an order for PDF Pack.
What happens when you try to convert your files? Are you getting an error message? Or, are you unable to log in?
I look forward to hearing back from you.

Convert PDF to Word - Word (Not responding)

I've used Adobe XI to convert PDF doc to Word. When working within the Word document highlighting or editing it "hangs" every few seconds showing "Word (Not Responding)". It's very frustrating as well as time consuming. Autosave is off. Any help or recommendations appreciated.

Using Acrobat or ExportPDF.

Need to Convert PDF to doc in Russian, why programm do not recognice it?

Need to Convert PDF to doc in Russian, why programm do not recognice it?

Hi alsu22,
The OCR system that converts documents does not recognize any cyrillic languages, such as Russian. If the text is already renderable (selectable), you may want to try converting your document without the OCR function enabled. You can find steps here: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3062

When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the test and change the font, it does not change it properly?

When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the text and change the font, it does not change it properly? This is making it impossible to amend.

Hi Janedance1,
If the PDF that you converted already has searchable text, please try disabling OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel. (If the PDF was created from a scanned document and doesn't already have searchable text, disabling OCR isn't a great option, as the text won't be searchable/editable in the converted Word doc.)
Please let us know how it goes.

Convert pdf to word doc-but don't have the export option.

I want to convert a pdf (that I got from an email) into a Word doc so I can edit it the way I want to. However, for some reason now I don't have the 'Export' option in my File drop down list.
Funny thing is, I've converted the document once already and have entirely forgotten how I did it obviously!
I've made so many changes in my first conversion I want to start over.
why don't I have the 'Export' option? Or ... when I do a 'save as' and chose 'word doc' it only does a copy - paste type save - where I can't make any changes. It's like it puts it into a text box or something.
I have MSWord 2010.

When I do the steps below, the Word doc that is saved is like a photo. I am unable to work with the document. Why does it do that? I have converted pdf’s before without that happening but I think I did it on a free 30-day trial of X Pro.
This usually happens when you're dealing with a very poor quality scanned document that doesn't have enough data for the Acrobat OCR engine to actually process.
As for Acrobat 6.0 Pro, I don't believe the Save as Word function was introduced until version 8.0, but it's been a few years and the memory of Acrobat 6 has faded a bit.
