Converting PDF documents to edit them

I am having difficulty editing PDF documents. Can you help please?

Pat,
I followed your step procedure but obviously did not succeed in getting the files to you.
Allow me to try an alternative approach.
I purchased the Adobe Reader product in order to extract selected info from PDF documents to incorporate into my Microsoft Word document.
As I described to you, I understand that the export process allows me to convert the PDF into an editable format (i.e. word doc). Is that the process I follow or is there another way of achieving that?
Thanks for your patience
Ed

Any way to convert PDF document in to Tiff format with inbuilt IBR features

Is there any way to convert PDF document in to Tiff format with inbuilt IBR features?
In our Webcenter Portal app, we create the PDF document with the content of ADF pages and check it in UCM using RIDC api.
There will some batch job which will retrieve the documents from UCM and send them to client internal Document management system. The client / batch job will only process TIFF files. So we need a way to convert the PDF into TIFF. We are okie to have both PDF and TIFF stored in UCM.
When i have done research, i could only see components like PDFexport or TIFFConverter which only converts the other formats into PDF. But i am expecting a reverse conversion. Is it possible ? Thanks

How do I convert a Word hyperlink path to point to a converted PDF document?

I have a folder with Word documents that I want to convert to PDF. Many of the Word documents have hyperlinks to bookmarks in other Word documents in the same folder. (I'm trying to convert all the Word documents in the folder to PDF.) After I convert all the folder documents to PDF and click on the hyperlinks, they take me to the old Word documents. Is there a way to convert the hyperlink paths to instead take me to the converted PDF document?

The original Hyperlink path, established in the MS Word files has as the target file some *.doc file.
Edit Hyperlinks, in MS Word, to change the target file(s) to the appropriate *.pdf file.
As a guess, I'd say someone familiar with MS VB might be able to come of with something to do the change programmatically.
An alternative could be a web search for a possible Acrobat JavaScript that might do the job to the PDF files.
Failing that the job would be done manually to each Hyperlink in each MS Word file.
As to MS Hyperlinks to MS "Bookmarks" in other files.
The [ # ] character used as a parameter is not interpreted by Adobe Reader / Acrobat in the same manner as MS Office products.
Consequently, in an output PDF, the link will only open the target file. Note that MS Bookmarks within a DOC file will function in the output PDF.
For PDF Open Parameters see:

How to avoid converting pdf documents to searchable text repeatedly

Can someone help me to resolve this Acrobat 8 or 9 problem.
I select a folder and initiate the conversion of all pdf documents to searchabel text (or OCR).
It works great. Next time, if I re-do the process, some documents re-convert again. Is there a way to tell Acrobat to stop converting pdf documents that already been OCR or converted to searchabel text ??

Hi,
Simplest -> OCR the PDF(s) prior to deployment to the production zone.
"Good" OCR can come from Acrobat or other applications (done ok with AdLib Server & Adobe's Capture Cluster - I'm sure there are others).
Typically, an OCR engine only knows how to do one thing - OCR what it is pointed to.
Perhaps a dedicated server application would provide more refined control - but that's not Acrobat's OCR engine.
Maybe possible -
Acrobat 8 & 9 Pro each has a Preflight Custom check that can identify if text rendering mode 3 (invisible text) - Acrobat's OCR output- is present.
Create an appropriate Preflight Profile.
Create a Batch Sequence to run the Preflight Profile.
Configure the Preflight: Batch Sequence Setup to create a report (for "On success" or "On error" or both).
Designate where the report PDF is to go.
Extract/filter the report's content to obtain a data set of what files have no text rendering mode 3 present.
Feed this data to a routine that directs/controls OCR.
"Routine" maybe possible via something with Acrobat JavaScript. Don't know.
Maybe via an Acrobat plug-in.
Maybe to control some other OCR application(?).
(Something for a real 'gritty' codehead <g>).
Myself, I try assiduously to avoid post processing my "deployed" PDFs; particular when OCR is involved.
At the work place, for on-going, PDF "streams" to be OCRd I and co-workers use AdLib Server.
So, the PDFs are OCRd prior to deployment.
Be well...

What would be the best Adobe Product option for me if I only need it to be able to convert PDF documents to Excel Format?

Hello, I'm hoping to pick everyone's brain about which Adobe Acrobat Product / License I would need if the only Function I require is the ability to convert PDF documents to Excel format. This would not include Scanned documents.

Only you can decide what is a "best fit".
PDF content export to Excel can be performed by Acrobat XI or either of Adobe's online subscription services "ExportPDF" or "PDF Pack".

Is it allowed to convert pdf documents into rtf using Adobe SDK

Hello
Can I convert pdf document into rtf using Adobe SDK?
Is available this functionality on c# code? Which assemblies i can use for it?

which is why it has to be on the desktop and not a server.
I didn't quite understand your statement. Could you, please, explain, why I can't use it only on the desktop and not a server? And, could you provide documentation, where I can find information about converting documents using c#?

Misspelled words in a converted PDF document

I converted a PDF document into a Word 7 document. One word ("breakfast") was misspelled throughout the Word document. What happened to allow a misspelling?

Hi Tom,
Click three times inside the square. That should allow you to edit the text.
Let me know if that helps!
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Kind regards, Stacy

Convert PDF document to Pages

I have a large PDF document and i need to convert the same to a pages document. Can anybody help please.
Many thanks

I assumes that you wish to be able to edit the document's contents.
The free tool "Skim" may give you the ability to extract the embedded text from the PDF.
Alas, you will be forced to rebuild the layout.
You may download Skim from:

Converting pdf document to interactive pdf document

How can I convert an existing pdf document to an interactive fill and print pdf document ? I am using Adobe 9 Standard.

Thanks, I have tried that and also just downloaded trial version of Adobe X . Problem I am having is that program converts many of the sections of the document to interactive fields but unfortunately not all that I need and I don’t see how to get it to convert all in the original document. Basically got same result with same fields converted whether using Adobe 9 or the Adobe X trial version. This is a Tax Organizer Form I use to gather client data (they fill in a printed paper version by hand) and would like to have a pdf version to provide them with interactive fill in the blank capability but so far not all required fields are getting converted.

Can't convert pdf document to excel

I tried to export a pdf document to Excel using the conversion process presented, but that didn't work at all. I then uploaded the document to my workspace but don't see any links that would convert the document there. How does this process work?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.
