Editing a PDF file converted to Word- please tell me how

I converted a PDF file to Word, but I can't edit it. How do I do this?

Are you unable to change any of the text in the Word document?  Are you able to edit the document, but the results you're receiving aren't in line with your expectations?

  • How do I activate hyperlinks in PDF files converted from WORD

    I have created a flyer in Word and converted it to PDF with the Adobe PDF Pack.  The hyperlink to a URL in the doc is not active.  The hyperlink to an email address is.  What do I need to do to activate the URL hyperlink?
    Thanks

    Hi cjsewmour01,
    There's a preference in Reader and Acrobat to "Create Links from URLs." It sounds like that preference is enabled, or the email address wouldn't be hyperlinked. That particular preference looks for link text (http, www, mailto: and so on) in the PDF and then creates hyperlinks for that text. It sounds like Acrobat isn't recognizing the link text--is that particular link formatted correctly?

  • I recently purchased the Adobe Reader XI but can't edit a pdf file at all. Please advise on what is going on? I am paying roughly 18 GBP a month and my subscription says it is a Acrobat Pro Subscription on my account online.

    Do you know what may be causing this?

    I actually just figured it out. I had bought the Acrobat pro but never updated my program on my laptop...

  • How can I change a PDF file into a Word Document

    Regretfully, I am Disabled and unable to watch a Tutorial video online. So, I must use this venue to ask a simply question...Is there a way to make a PDF file into a Word Document? OR, how can I type info into a PDF file? Either answer would help me IMMENSELY!
    Thanks for your time and consideration.

    Using your Adobe ID, I believe you have one free trial on ExportPDF.
    Also, Acrobat is available as a fully functional 30-day trial.

    Hi there,
    It sounds like there may be an issue with the quality of the PDF. Not all PDFs are created equal, and especially those created from scanned documents can be problematic if the scan quality isn't the best. Is there a dark background on the PDF, or stray marks or smudges?
    You can try converting with OCR disabled at outlined in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community. But, while that's a good test to find out where the problem lies, you'll end up with a Word document that isn't editable, so it's not an optimal solution.
    Please let us know how it goes.

    Hi olivias,
    It sounds like there may be some confusion on your system about what application should be associated with PDF files. You can reset filename associations by following the steps in these articles (depending on your operating system):

  • Have converted pdf file into a word document. How do I engage the edit option?

    Have converted pdf file into a word document. How do I engage the edit option?
    jnicholasperkins@

    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.

    Hi how to do forum,
    It sounds like you have downloaded the Acrobat trial, is that correct? If so, you can save directly to Word format by opening your PDF in Acrobat, and choosing File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document.
    Please let us know how it goes.

  • Is there a way to edit a PDF file without converting it into a word document?

    Is there a way to edit a PDF file without converting it into a word document?

    Then you posted in the wrong forum...
    At any rate, you can use the Edit Text & Images tool (under Tools - Content Editing) to make changes to the file. You'll need to be a bit more specific about what you want to change if you want more detailed instructions.

  • How do i convert a pdf file to a word doc in order to make changes

    How do I convert a pdf file into a word doc in order to make chnages?

    You need Acrobat and can then use File --> Save As... --> Microsoft Word. Just don't expect miracels. PDFs aren't meant for editing and you may end up with clumps of text and lose all formatting and may have to rebuild the document completely.

  • When I convert my PDF file to either Word or Excel, the result is garbage and not usable.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have converted two PDF files to both Word and Excel.  The result is garbage and unreadable.  I want to edit the content of the PDF file and thought that this was the solution.  What am I doing wrong?

    It's probably not something wrong you're doing, just the way the file was
    created. You can look under File - Properties - Description and see what
    application and PDF producer were used to generate it. My guess is it was
    not produced using Adobe software.
    At any rate, there's no a lot you can do about it, I'm afraid. You can try
    re-frying it, ie sending it to the PDF Printer to produce a new copy, and
    then exporting that to Word/Excel, but that's about it.
