How can I get ExportPDF to not add hyphens when converting to Word?

I am using the online service ExportPDF, at https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf .It automatically adds hyphens in the resulting Word document for all words that were auto-hyphenated at line ends in the original PDF. How can I get it to convert these as whole words?
I know that for example in InDesign there is a setting in the Preferences menu and changing it from Retain Flowing Text to Retain Page Layout should remove such extra hyphens upon exporting. But I don't find any such settings for the ExportPDF service online.
It matters because I frequently need to cut and paste converted text from the Word documents into other documents with different formatting, and the hyphens, which are now hard characters, come out all wrong.
Can anyone help with this?

Hi liquidandrew,
There is no setting in ExportPDF to change the output, other than choosing a language for OCR. ExportPDF does it's best to keep the converted document true to the original, so it sounds like it's maintaining the hyphens where they appear in the PDF. Could you do a quick find/replace in Word to remove the hyphens? However, you would run the risk of removing hyphens where you want them, such as in compound words.
Best,
Sara

    Thanks Bill for your reply.
    I am using Acrobat XI, just downloaded it and Word 2003.  There are no punctuations on my form, I just hit return to go to the next lines. 
    I put in a little square check box and that is also causing issues.  I checked to make sure the field codes are off on the original word doc. 
    I did try from the printer to save and adobe and I get the same codes.  Other people that I work with are able to get my document to save correctly in acrobat with the same versions of word and XI. 
    It has to be some small setting on my computer. 

  • When clicking "Save image as" how can I get Firefox to auto add a (1) (2) etc at the end of the filename if an image with the same filename already exists?

    How can I get Firefox to automatically rename images when clicking "Save image as" on the menu, when an image with the same file name already exists in the folder??

    Hello,
    That is not a feature that is supported natively within Firefox but there are various add-ons which I think will do the job you need.
    The one I have used is [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/web-slide-show/?src=search Web Slide Show]. This is primarily an add-on for viewing a slideshow of images when they are presented as thumbnails on a web page. However once you are in the slideshow there is a download button which will download all the images in the slideshow. It will automatically rename the images if an image with the same name already exists in the folder.
    If you don't like that add-on then here are some others that may do the same job:
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/image-download-%E2%85%B1/?src=search Image Download II]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/En-us/firefox/addon/image-picker/ Image Picker]
    I hope that helps. Let me know if not.
    Also I notice that you are using Firefox v23. That is now an outdated version. To get the latest security updates I suggest updating to version 24. See the support article here: [[Update Firefox to the latest version]].

    If the app is G-Toolkit and you have a Gmail app on your iPhone, delete the Gmail app.  Apparently the G-Tool kit is tied to a Gmail app.  From searching the web my impression is that G-Toolkit is not spyware and is from a legitimate company that produces app for several platforms.

  • How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade?

    Dear wise & wondeful people:
    How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade? Half of my contacts, notes, ect. were on my iCloud so have happily moved to my new iPhone but the rest are completely resistant. For example, on my iCloud I have 14 missing contacts starting with the letter A alone, however they are happily viewable on my old iPhone 4S and won't budge over into the iCloud.
    There are also 3 notes missing yet still acessible on my onld iPhone 4S, the list goes on.
    Your help would be most appreciated. Thank you so much.

  • How can I get the link not to override my style sheet formatting?

    I have an html page with text that has a style sheet applied
    to it. When I insert a link into parts of the formatted text, the
    style sheet formatting is lost in the linked text (the text for
    mylars, shapes and number shapes becomes smaller: see code below).
    How can I get the link not to override my style sheet
    formatting?
    Here is the html code I am referring to:
    <span class="bodyheader20pt">Fall into winter's biggest
    celebration with our New Year's Day <a href="
    http://www.usballoon.net/web/default.asp?pagename=mg_cls&mg=A9&mg2=&cl=A4&sc=184&PageNumbe r=1"

    I am using Dreaweaver CS3 on a Mac running OSX
    10.4.11.

    Show us this rule --> bodyheader20pt?
    Also, having this in your three anchor tags -
    style="text-decoration:none" -
    will prevent your anchors from displaying any stylesheet
    style for
    text-decoration.

  • How can I get the galaxy note 4 to ring longer?

    how can I get the galaxy note 4 to ring longer?

        kick143
    Making sure you answer your calls on times is important.  All phones have a standard amount set per rings before a call goes to voice.  We are unable to change settings to make the phone ring longer.  Sometimes purchased or recorded ringtones  can cause the ringing on your end to seem shorter.  Do you currently have a customized ringtone on your phone?
