From PDF to Word DOC

When I attempt to convert a multiple page MS Word 2003 doc (25 pgs) to PDF using Adobe Std 9, it works. When I attempt to take that same PDF and convert it back to WORD using the feature within Adobe Acrobat 9 Std FILE - EXPORT - WORD DOCUMENT, Adobe will take the 25 pages and convert it to 2 pgs. Is there a setting turned on that I'm missing?

The fact that it is a new WORD doc is not the point. It is the process you used to create the PDF. I suspect from your post that you used the print to the Adobe PDF printer option. That option includes no tags or bookmarks. The tags are needed to reverse the process, though that may still not be perfect. The 25 pp to 2 pp is a bit drastic, but without knowing the content of the WORD file and the method of creating the PDF, I am only guess at possibilities.

  • When I converted a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How can I solve this problem?

    When I tried to convert a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How do I solve this problem?  I don't know how to change it from Read Only.

    Dear Sara
    Thank you very much for sending the converted file.  Yes, I am able to edit it - that will be very useful to me and I appreciate your help.
    Referring to your previous message when you said you'd converted via Acrobat and not Acrobat.com, I'm converting via Acrobat.com because that's the only option that is shown (how do I convert via Acrobat? - perhaps that would be more successful).  I'm using the Export PDF website, and the OCR is enabled to "Recognize text in English UK".  However, I've just tried converting a different LPA pdf form, this time for Health & Welfare https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/245571/LPA114_He alth_welfare_LPA.pdf and again I have the same problem as before.  I've altered it from "Read only" and thought I'd then be able to enter text, but "Drawing Tools" is shown in the pane and I'm unable to enter anything onto the form - everything appears to be in images.  Also, the lettering on the heading of' page 1 has become jumbled, with the word "Public" overlaying the word "Guardian."  Any suggestions as to what it is I'm doing wrong would be welcome - I don't like to be beaten!

  • I paid to convert a file from pdf to Word doc. and it is unintelligible. Why ?

    Hi M & B P,
    Please give the following a try:
    If you're converting via the ExportPDF website, log out, clear the cache, and then log back in.
    If you're converting from within Reader, choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version.
    Please let us know how it goes. If you're still having problems, please let us know how you're converting, what browser you're using, and whether you're on Mac OS and Windows. We'll do some deeper digging if need be.
    Best,

  • Edit document that was converted from PDF to Word Doc.

    How do I edit a document that I converted from a PDF to a word document????? When I open my now "Word Document" it does not allow me to edit the text.

    Bill, The PDF came from a scanning of a Word document, but my office did not produce the PDF and I don't know exactly how the original Word document was scanned, whether OCR was engaged at that stage, etc., but the select tool in Adobe Reader leads to the cross-hairs on the PDF. We are working without AA, and I was trying to convert the PDF back to an editable Word document through ExportPDF, with which I thought I had had some success in the past in similar circumstances (converting an image PDF back to an editable Word document). With this document, the conversion back to Word through ExportPDF has led to an uneditable Word document with text in image frames whether OCR is on or off in the PDF to Word conversion effort... and if there is a way to remove the frames in Word, but keep the text, I haven't "re"figured it out yet. For instance, triple clicking doesn't seem to do anything.
    On this particular document, we've gone back to the old fashioned way of retyping the page that has the error in it ... and sticking it back in the document. (It also would have been smarter timewise for me in this case to have spent more time on tracking down the preceding Word document.)
    Was I missing something in the conversion process from scanned image PDF to Word document with edit capabilities? Thanks!

  • Converting from PDF to Word doc: Text in Fields disappears. What to do?

    Hi,
    I have a PDF template I filled out, for the cover of my thesis, which included 3 fields.  I am using the trial version of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, and saved the filled in template as a new PDF. So far, so good.  However, I need to covert the PDF into Word. When I do so, and open the new Word doc, the text I filled in is gone.  Help?

    Hi hamsa142,

  • Text Hyperlink from PDF (converted Word doc) to specific Excel cell in same Portfolio

    Good Morning,
    I have created a Word document with an embedded Excel sheet (both Office 2007) and created a text hyperlink within the document that points to a specific cell on a specific tab. My company wants to send our document to a customer, but will only send PDFs. When converting to PDF the hyperlink does not work any longer.
    To make the behaviour in Word one must open the embedded Excel object to the specific sheet and then copy the specific cell in question. In Word choose Paste as Hyperlink. Press Alt+F9 and then change HYPERLINK to hyperLINK. Press Alt+F9. Edit the Settings of the Hyperlink and change the Text to Display.
    Is there a way to do this with Acrobat 10? The plus side would be that the Excel document would not be embedded in Word although it would still need the Document ID of the Excel file in the portfolio. Futhermore, the Word document won't be included in the portfolio.

    While Acrobat cannot pass opening parameters to non-PDF files it can do so for PDF (under specific circumstances).
    See the "Parameters for Opening PDF Files" document at:

    Be well...

  • Cannot convert from PDF to word doc.....

    I am not able to access PDF files on my desktop to then convert.

    Hi Dan,
    What happens when you try to access the PDF files? Do you get an error message? Are you converting from within Adobe Reader, or via the ExportPDF web interface?
    Are you able to log in directly to https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf and convert your files from there?

  • Hyperlinks in PDF'd word doc

    hyeperlinks aren't happening after I PDF a Word doc. I'd be soooo grateful for right answer on this - the hyperlink feature is the whole point for me to have Pro.
    thanks so much.

    There is a PDF Creator
    from Code-Poetry http://www.codepoetry.net/projects/cups-pdf-for-mosx
    That will do it.  install. install it and if word has any hyperlinks when you go to Printer:
    The will Transfer over with no problem :
    Note the two email adresses show in this png one is mine that now goes to a spam dump email address for me.
    the other belonged to a cousin but she changed providers so this email address doesn't exist. Plus this a PNG representation and is not clickable
    this was a copy of an email that was  was converted to a word document  to be used in a family tree item on my website.
    In or to do this in acrobat I actually have to go to advanced menu then choose create to a url, or a  mailto
    This Utility actually proves a point, MS has been making about needed information to create URLs and Mailtos are in word Mac and have been all along.

  • I am trying to convert a PDF to Word doc-- it worked previously but now it won't-?

    Trying to convert PDF to Word doc--- was able to do it  before but now nothing shows up when I click on the downloaded file

    Hi asjoseph,
    It sounds like you're reporting two different problems--is that correct? One, that you're unable to convert using ExportPDF, and another that you're trying to open or convert PDF? Is that correct?
    For the first issue, make sure that you're signed in to the ExportPDF service. You can log in directly at cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf.
    For the second part of your question, please tell me a bit more about where that error is occurring, and what steps you're taking before the error appears.
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Can you please tell me what to do when I change a file from PDF to word and it comes up with headers

    Can you you please tell me what to do when I change a file from PDF to word and it comes up with headers and footers. I do not want the headers and footers but I need the information so that changes can be made in them  - There are over 80 pages in this document and every page had a header and footer. The document did not have any headers and footers when it was first typed out.

    Good day,
    Try converting the document to a .doc format instead of .docx. 
    If that doesn't resolve the issue, please share the file with us via the File Conversion Issue form.  Be sure to reference this forum thread in your description so we can circle back on the issue.
    Kind regards,
