Converting PDF into Word

I am trying to create an edit-able document from a scanned PDF file. I have used all of the "help" tools available from Adobe, tried Exporting via all of my options and nothing is working. When I do a "save as" I get a picture file that I can't edit. When i try to export the document, I get named files that are blank on the inside. I have the full version of Adobe 9 Pro. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.

First you have to have a decent scan. Then you need to perform OCR. (Document->OCR Text Recognition). Finally, save as word. Before opening it helps make a sacrifice to the fates so that they will bless the word document. I may have the last step wrong, it could be you have to make the sacrifice before scanning.

Why can I not convert pdf into word file?

why can I not convert pdf into word file?

This is not a feature of Adobe Reader. You'll need either Acrobat or a subscription to one of the web-based services that Adobe offers (like PDF Pack) to do it.

Ive just subscribed online but realised I have the wrong service by mistake... I require Convert PDF into Word doc service but selected Adobe send in error, sorry. Can you please switch the service for me? Thanks Anthony Levy

Hi, am trying to convert pdf into word. I have 30 days trial, however, everytime i try to convert it's asking to subscribe, Why is that, what is the purpose of the free trial?

Hi oj1,
Since you mention a free trial, I'm guessing that you have an Acrobat trial (Adobe doesn't offer free trials of the Acrobat.com online services).
If you do have Acrobat, you can use the Save As command in that application to save directly to Word format.
Please let us know how it goes.

How can I choose korean language to convert pdf into word?

I need　to translate the document in Hungle.
To make the speed up,I tried to convert the Pdf document in hungle into word,and realized I can't choose Hungle for OCR.
I wonder why Hungle and Chinese are not seleced as languages for ExprtPdf ,for those countries are imortant for both aspects of economy and culture for Japan.

It seems that Hangul and Chinese is not available for OCR in ExportPDF; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat-com/kb/using-ocr-exportpdf.html
You may need to use Acrobat to OCR and convert Korean and Chinese documents.

Credit card charged twice and still can't convert pdf into word!

Hi, It seems my credit card was charged twice for my subscription. However, I'm not able to convert my pdf document into word. When I try and do this it just asks me to subscribe, even though I'm signed in. I tried to cancel one of my subscriptions and ended up in an annoying holding pattern where the available comments said to contact the adobe team, but when I went to the website where this contact was supposedly possible it directed me back to the community.

Hi florence12,
I just checked your account and see that both transactions have been canceled already. Please keep an eye on your credit card bill, and if the charges appear there let us know.
Best,
Sara

Not sure what you mean by "tried to use Word". ExportPDF doesn't change what Word can do. Can you explain what you try and what happens in more detail?

Converting PDF to word using OCR

How do I convert a PDF file to Word format without the text changing on the Word document?

Hi IBEW45,
OCR is enabled by default when you convert a PDF to Word via the ExportPDF website. Just make sure that you're selecting the correct language for character recognition.
If you're converting to Word from within Reader, it is possible to disable OCR. If you're encountering issues where there are odd characters in the converted Word file, you may be running into font issues. A good troubleshooting technique is to disable OCR. Here are the instructions: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel.
Please let us know how it goes.

Cannot convert pdf to word, then open.

I recently purchased adobe to convert pdf to word. I go through all the steps, the file is supposedly converted and saved into a downloads folder. From there I cannot open the file, or save it to another file, as is suggested. The same 'prompt' box just keeps popping up and I can never actually open the file. What am I missing?

Sara:
A little more cumbersome but going to the AdobeAcrobat.com works.
Thanks for the help.
Have a great day.
Bob

I purchased PDF Converter Plus, v1.0 (4 ). I am unable to convert PDF into text. I get all gibberish when I try to do the conversion.

I purchased PDF Converter Plus, v1.0 (4 ). I am unable to convert PDF into text. I get all gibberish when I try to do the conversion.

I went to the site and did exactly as the 'support' said. I tried three PDF documents for conversion to Word. On clicking 'convert', the last window gives the file with .doc suffix. After I save and open it the window says, "The XML file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents." Under "Details", it says, "Incorrect document syntax".
Please guide me further.
Thanks

Free trial version stopped converting pdf to word file

Hello -
I recently downloaded the free trial versio nof Adobe Reader XI, and for one day I was able to convert pdf files into Word files (doc, docx). I have not been able to do so since. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software to no avail. The furthest I can get is to click on the convert button within reader, and then when I click on 'view converted files' I am sent to a website that asks me to subscribe in order to use the conversion function. This looks to be a somewhat common bug with this software, which leaves me very little confidence that this would be a worthwhile purchase (I am a writing teacher and would like the ease of converting back and forth in the long term).
Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you and all best,
Jen

Adobe Reader is free software; there is no trial for it.
The ExportPDF online service, initiated through Adobe Reader, is subscription based. To the best of my knowledge there is no trial either.
The only trial there is to convert PDF to Word/Excel is Adobe Acrobat.
