Converting PDF files to Microsoft Word

I downloaded a PDF file to Microsoft word, but I can't edit it. Why?

That suggests that the PDF was not created with PDF Maker that retains the format information. As a result, there is not much you can do with Acrobat if it is not converting properly. You can try to save as HTML or RTF and import those into WORD. Sometimes those conversions will do better, but not real sure.
You can also use a copy and paste from the PDF with the alt key held down to force the column mode of copy. Unfortunately, with Acrobat there is not much more you can do. There are some 3rd party products that focus on the conversion to WORD and I understand do a much better job for the type of untagged document you likely have. Check with PDF Zone or Planet PDF for the 3rd party solutions. Be aware, they are not cheap either.

One solution would be to generate the report via an servlet which you then call with an af:golink with an target frame set to blank.

Why is the text garbled when I convert a pdf file to microsoft word ?

Why is the text garbled when I convert a pdf file to microsoft word ?

Hi amedah,
Could you please try converting any other PDF file with same fonts and then check.
It might also happen due to use of some poor fonts which result in garbled text.
Is the PDF scanned?
Let me know.

Not stupid you! To, from PDF--it gets confusing!
To edit a PDF file, you need to use Acrobat. Depending on how much work needs to be done to the PDF, it may make sure sense to edit in Word, and then reconvert to PDF. Acrobat doesn't function as a word processor, so while limited changes to the text should be fine, extensive updates may not yield the results you're looking for.
That said, if you don't have Acrobat, you are welcome to try it for free for 30 days. For more information, see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.

PDF file and Microsoft Word files

I love all the big improvements apple is making to their product lines. But I am a practical person who needs to open pdf. files and Microsoft Word files on the go. That is why I will still pick a Treo, Dash, and any other pda over the Iphone. When is apple going to make a real war against PDA's and produce these kinds of software? This would make the Iphone the ultimate phone.

Actually you CAN store them on your phone -- you need to download the free program FileMarkMaker (Its in versiontracker for mac, don't know if it is available for PC users)
It allows you to attach any PDF within a URL address and save it as a bookmark, and sync it to your iPhone. You can then read it anytime (you don't need an internet connection) by going to the name of the link you created for the file in Safari. Works perfectly -- I have everything from Maps of the subway stations for the cities I visit to manuals and documents on it.
Just one caveat -- you can't search or use other features from within that Safari page - it will just crash the safari application -- you need to change to a blank safari page before you can use google or other safari features.

That'd be associated with trying to connect to the server(s) for one of the Adobe online subscription services.
(Edit PDF or PDF Pack)
These online services are separate and independent of the desktop application Acrobat.
It appears that you have had / are having internet connection issues.
Be well...

Converting pdf file to a word document

I'm trying to convert a pdf file to a word doc during the trial period but I'm having trouble. Does anyone know how I can achieve this?

Windows does not really tell us the OS. There are many variations, including 32 and 64-bit systems.
Anyway, assuming you are using Acrobat XI, you to to File>Save As and select to export to WORD. You should find 2 choices, retain format and retain flow or somthing like that. You should probably try both.

PDF file showing Microsoft Word icon in library

Hello all,
I've come across a weird issue in a Sharepoint 2010 library. We have a library that contains both WORD documents and PDF files. We have a custom functionality in our implementation that converts the WORD documents to PDF. For one specific document, after
the WORD document was converted to PDF, the converted PDF is still showing the microsoft word icon under document type.
As you can see, the document is clearly a PDF, but it's showing the Word icon. If I click on the document, it opens up as a PDF. Every other PDF document in the library is showing the correct PDF icon except for this one, so it's not an overall icon issue.
Anybody have any ideas on this? Is this something that can be edited for specific files? If not, does anybody have any idea what can cause this?
Thanks!
