Horrible Product PDF to Word

I just tried my first conversion last night. I was shocked. Alignment was thrown off, some material missing, alignment thrown off, footer deleted from one page and kicked over to a blank page, Would not allow me to fill in some blocks, on others it would switch and print in bizarre fonts (illegible). I am amazes that Adobe would market such a bad product.

Creating PDF in Word 2007 creates horizontal line

Hello,
This is my first post in this forum. In general, I have not had problems creating PDFs from Word 2003, or from Word 2007 - from either .doc or .docx documents.
Yesterday, with one document, when I created a PDF, a centered horizontal line kept appearing near the top of the first 2 pages. These 2 pages
have no header content. This line is NOT in the Word document. The rest of the PDF appears normal - with its normal header content.
I think the problem is within Word 2007 (what a surprise!) because I can eliminate the problem by printing a .ps file of the Word doc and then
distilling it. The only problems with that method are that (1) It's more time-consuming, and - more important - (2) the bookmarks are not
automatically created. So, to create bookmarks manually takes even more time, and I don't know how to create the hyperlinks from the TOC
(or even if that's possible).
Any idea what's going on? I tried making PDFs of some other user
guides (same doc template), and they are fine.
Many thanks!

Hi again Raechel,
It's such fun dealing with Word and "Microsloth", isn't it?! IMHO, they
should have left Office alone at the 2003 (or 2002?) versions.... Even at
2000, styles were easier to deal with!
Especially after using Madcap Flare for a few years, going back to Word is
especially torturous. I go back and forth from one to the other,
depending on what I'm working on - product-wise or document-wise.
Your Word certainly may have gotten corrupted, but even if that's not the
case -- Word is still buggy as hell (forgive the minor expletive)!!
Glad you made your printing deadline!!
Regards,
Melanie

Creating PDF in Word 2007 creates horizontal line
Melanie,
I read your post, and decided to spend my evening figuring out what was
going on. You are right about it being related to the lines in the header
and footers, but as my document had no headers and footers, I found that
odd. I tried to edit the styles without success. Now isn't that odd,
too?
I had to delete the header and footer styles from my document in order
to
get rid of the lines. I suspect my copy of Word became corrupted as I
madly
edited several documents, all with photos. As my adult son pointed out,
"well, they don't put their top programmers on Word, after all." I
checked
my memory utilization, and it appears that Word isn't cleaning up after
itself very well, so it loses track of some of its objects, and things get
out of synch.
Well, in the end I managed to re-produce my document, which is good,
because
it had to go to the printer last night before midnight, and it got there
at
11:40.
Thanks for your help,
Raechel

Any help grately received.

I've found that some of the non-Adobe converters (and some of the free online converters) don't do such a good job as Acrobat Pro. If you want to try it out, you can download one of the free 30-day trial packages from Adobe that include Acrobat Pro X (such as Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard),
but it is really very expensive, but there are many other third pary PDF converter progarms out there:

Cannot Convert PDF to Word

Hi, I am attempting to convert a PDF to word. I had another file the exact same size and essentially the same content, but the latest file is a corrected version of the first. I need to compare the two word documents to insure no additional changes were made to the corrected copy. I had no problem converting the first document to Word format succesfully.
The PDF is 14.00 MB. My OS is Mac OS X 10.9.2, browser Safari and Firefox (I attempted to convert using both browsers.) I have Microsoft Word 2011 and am using Adobe Export PDF to convert online to a docx format. I've attemptd this approximately five times. Acrobat Distiller 10.0.0 is the producer of the PDF and the application is pScript5.dll Version 5.2.2. The error message is vague; "Conversion Faliure" is the only info provided. I would like a refund for this purcahsed product if the conversion is not successful as this project is specifically why I bought Adobe Export PDF. Thank you for any assistance that can be provided.

Hi NKB37,
I'm sorry that you're running into trouble with ExportPDF. Since the issue seems to be particular to one file, I would like to suggest that you send us your original file using the following File Conversion Issue form and Adobe will take a closer look at the file.
If you'd rather proceed with a refund, please contact our chat team by visiting: https://www.acrobat.com/misc/en/contact-support.html

Why do I see incorrect fonts when I create PDFs from Word

When I first started using Acrobat (versions 3 through 5), it was an incredible product because it could create an exact copy of a document I created with a DTP program. I could send that PDF to someone who did not have the DTP program, yet the recipient saw exactly what I created in the DTP program. That's what made Acrobat great. It worked flawlessly.
Now I have Acrobat Pro XI, and I can't create a PDF from Word and get the correct fonts. I've seen quite a few messages on this forum and elsewhere indicating that other people have this problem, too. But I haven't found a solution. I've tried many things that are suggested--embed fonts, don't embed fonts, and different settings. Nothing seems to work. I've spent hours on this insted of doing the job I am paid for (writing). So I'd be very glad if anyone knows how to fix this.
A few specifics:
- Using Word 2010 and Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.3. Windows 64 bit.
- Most fonts are OK, but some appear to be substitutes. For example, some headings that are supposed to be Tahoma bold-italic come out as something different. It's a lighter weight font. I don't know what it is.
- Creation method from Word: Acrobat Tab, Create PDF or File > Save As PDF. Either way I get the wrong fonts.
- Print to Adobe PDF printer DOES produce the correct fonts, but this doesn't help because you don't get bookmarks (which are a critical part of our final PDF product).
- At one point it seemed that a Word setting, File > Options > Save > Preseve fidelty when sharing this document, but it didn't always work.
- I've seen this same problem on four computers, all using Word 2010 and Acrobat Pro XI.
Some messages suggest that rolling back to Acrobat 8 will solve this problem. It's hard to believe that's the only solution.

I was starting to think this might be an issue with font fauxing (I think that's the tech term). You've confirmed it.
Here's what can happen.
Font designers design a font, and (if they have the enthusiasm) bold and italic and bold-italic versions of the font. If you compare carefully, you will see that they are often quite different designs (look at lower case "a" for example, you'll often see that different in italic). Anyway, in an ideal world the font designer has provided four font files. Choose the bold/italic buttons in Word and it (well, actually Windows) picks the right font file.
But Word never forbids you from choosing those buttons even if the font files aren't there. (As an aside, pro design tools like InDesign WILL stop you choosing a style for which there is no font file, because what happens next in Word is considered evil).
If you ask Windows (or Mac OS) to show you a font in italic and there is no italic font file, it will take the regular file and slant each character. This may look different from the italic design font, it may also have different spacing. But to the casual word processor user, all is fine. (The pro designer says "oh my, look at that"). No bold? The font letters get thickened up somehow, often with ugly results, but the casual user is happy, because it's clearly the same font and clearly bolder. These processes are called "fauxing" (from making a faux or fake font).
But what happens in a PDF? PDFs will not faux fonts, and they don't have to. If you make a PDF it's like printing. To print a faux italic font, a slanted font prints. Generally looks no worse than the screen font. To print a faux bold font there are several different techniques, all ugly. One is to print several copies of each letter, slightly set off from each other but overlayed. This isn't only ugly, copy/paste often yields something like BBBOOOLLLDD TTTEEEXXXTTT. Often the printed bold faux font doesn't look much like the screen bold faux font. And here we have your situation exactly.
Now, I see only Tahoma and Tahoma-Bold on my computer too. You could see if anyone seels an Italic/BoldItalic version, or if they are bundled with some Microsoft software (which you'd need to own, the fonts can't be freely copied). But really this is sending the message - use a different font. I'd use Arial, where Windows has had all four files included since Windows 3.1 was released.

PDF to Word 2007

Hello I am trying to convert a PDF to Word 2007 in an editable format while retaining the original layout of the PDF. I have downloaded a lot of different free options online that have simply pasted the PDF into word as an image instead of a .doc
Can anyone help me with this?

If you want it done properly obtain Acrobat X (Standard or Pro).
Either supports save as / export to MS Word.
You can obtain a free 30-day trial of Acrobat X Pro at:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=acrobat_pro&loc=en
Alternatively you could subscribe to Adobe's online service ExportPDF.

Convert pdf to word doc?

a word doc?

If you want to try it out, you can download one of the free 30-day trial packages from Adobe that include Acrobat Pro X (such as Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard) and try it out for yourself. It won't cost you a thing to use for 30-days and each app is fully functional.
Just my 2¢... and if you want to get the best final product. Adobe also has an online service - Adobe CreatePDF -that will convert PDF to Word.
I think that it's free for a one-off.
Good luck,
