Hi aretak62561303,
Are you finding this output in all of the PDF files that you convert? How were the PDFs created? Did they start life as scanned documents? Knowing how the PDFs were created can help us understand why they convert the way they do.
That said, the quality of the conversion depends quite a bit on the quality of the PDF file.
For starters, please try disabling OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community. When this option is disabled, ExportPDF won't perform optical character recognition on the PDF, so you may get more legible results.
Best,
Sara

  • I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

    I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

    The application Acrobat provides no language translation capability.
    If you localize the language for OS, MS Office applications, Acrobat, etc to the desired language try again.
    Alternative: transfer a copy of content into a web based translation service (Bing or Google provides a free service).
    Transfer the output into a word processing program that is localized to the appropriate language.
    Do cleanup.

  • I recently signed up for a one month trial of adobe pro.  I logged in.  I cannot convert a single page of PDF file to word or Excel with this trial.  I just get the request to sign up for a year.  What good is the trial if I can't try it?

    Hey vcomfort6,
    Please ensure that you are using Adobe Acrobat and not Reader to convert PDF file to word or excel.
    Could you tell me whether it is a scanned document? Does this happen with all PDFs or any specific one?
    Do you get any error message? What exactly happens when you try doing the same?
    Hope to hear from you.

    Hi Irenedix,
    If you are using Acrobat you can try the suggestions mentioned above.
    Are you using the Create PDF service from within Reader to create pdf?
    If yes then please check if you are able to login to: https://cloud.acrobat.com/convertpdf  with your Adobe ID and able to convert the document to pdf.
    If yes then within Reader you can try the following:
    Choose Edit > Preferences (Win)
    Click 'Online Services' or 'Adobe Online Services' on the left-hand side
    Sign out of your Adobe ID and sign back in.

    Can I convert .pdf documents to word and vice versa using my (already purchased) Acrobat 9 Standard?

    I am trying to subscribe so that I can convert PDF to word. Get so far but only options for address are in USA, I live in England

    Hi golfgerald,
    I'm sorry that you're having trouble subscribing. Please take a look in the lower-left corner of the Adobe.com website. Do you see "United Kingdom" listed as the region? If not, please click Change Region, and then choose United Kingdom.
    Did that do the trick?

  • After I have converted PDF file to Word how can I select certain pages to save them as a new document? Thank you

    After I have converted PDF file to Word how can I select certain pages to save them as a new document? Thank you

    You've said you have a Word file and want to use some pages in the file to create a new document.
    Use Word to establish a new Word file that has the desired pages for the original Word file.
    You now have a "new document" of the desired pages.
    With Acrobat Standard or Pro installed you can create a "new document" PDF.
    If you do not have Acrobat Standard or Pro or a subscription to an online Adobe service that can create PDF from MS Word you can use the Microsoft process to create PDF that comes with MS Word.

  • I just joined. I selected convert PDF to a word doc. I downloaded it. but I still can't edit it. What am I doing wrong? Are some PDF unable to be converted?

    I just joined. I selected convert PDF to a word doc. I downloaded it. but I still can't edit it. What am I doing wrong? Are some PDF unable to be converted?

    Hi karenb60536875,
    There are some PDF types (such as those that are password-protected) that can't be converted. But when that's the case, you'll get a message during conversion, and the conversion will stop. It doesn't sound like that's the case for you.
    What happens when you open the converted Word document in Word? Do you see an Enable Editing button at the top of the document? If so, please click that. If you're still unable to select text in the Word document, try triple-clicking to select it.
    For reference, I will say that the quality of the conversion depends on the quality of the PDF (see Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community). So, there may be cases where a PDF written by a third-party application (a non-Adobe app), may not be written to spec, and that can affect the accuracy of the conversion.

  • Can't convert pdf to microsoft word

    I cannot convert pdf to microsoft word says convert failure
    I cleared browser cache and still does not work
    was working fine a couple of weeks ago

    Hi Nura,
    Are you receiving that message for every file that you try to convert? Or is it specific to one file? Are you converting via the ExportPDF web interface, or via Adobe Reader?
    Please tell us more about the file or files that you're trying to convert. How were they created? Are they complex (many pages, or mix of different fonts and graphics)?

  • Cannot convert pdf file to Word using Adobe ExportPDF online...I get a timeout error after a wait of about 15 minutes

    Oh...BTW...I am using Windows 7 with Chrome browser and I disabled text recognition.  The file is 3.7 MB.  It says it failed because it is taking too long to process however the Adobe export PDF notes that it can convert unlimited files to Word or Excel files.  Anything else I can try?  I exported it to Adobe.com and tried toconvert it there but it looks like the same process...and with the same result.

    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.

  • Converting .pdf files to Word in Pro v9 for Mac

    I have just purchased a copy of Acrobat Pro v9 for Mac with the idea of converting .pdf files to word documents in the correct format and for editing.  When I attempt to export a .pdf file to Word (2008) or save as a Word doc or docx file, the file doesn't open and my Word program freezes.  To unfreeze, I need for force quit Word and begin again.  I was told that pdf to word could be done in this version of Acrobat.  Has anyone had this experience?

    What type Document, was it to begin with? (Text/Image)
    If the PDF was a Text document, you should be able to with no problem?
    IF text based and converted, try opening word first then open the document.
    There is a format that Word will read called RTF (Rich Text File), that Word can read.
    Try converting to RTF then try opening. When opened then save as DOC or DOCX
    If it was created from a scan, Word my not open it, because it is an image (a Big Picture).
    Finally, if it has a lot of images, they may not do right, and may cause a lot of  problems.

  • Need help with converting PDF files to word document.

    When attempting to convert PDF files to word document, after clicking on "convert" a message "error occurred while signing in" displays. Don't know why??? I'm logged into my account and haven't been able to convert documents.

    Just for completeness, can you post your operating system, browser, and Adobe Reader version?
