How convert to word in English words not code

How do I convert a PDF file to Word in English? All I get are codes I can't read.

What means "code"; can you post a screenshot of what you see: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933 - maybe you are not opening the converted document in Word?

I just purchased Adobe Acrobat in order to convert a pdf to an excel program but it appears that it will only convert to Word, not excel? Am I doing something wrong or should I cancel my subscription?

Convert to word not working - answers to form questions missing

Hi there
I have a form that was filled by a client that is now in pdf format. I am trying to convert it into a word file.
All of the questions and the blank boxes for the answers are coming across, but the answers to the questions within the boxes are missing.
Help would be appreciated please.
Rebecca

Well, they are right pretty much. PDF forms are not for conversion into Word. The export tools are about getting the data out NOT the look of the form.
Generally, converting forms of any kind (filled or not) from PDF to Word is a non-starter. The layout will change too much OR it will be utterly uneditable in Word, rendering all practical reasons for converting to Word useless.
Conversion to Word from PDF is a way to get back the text and hint of the layout ready for re-creation.

Why do files converted to Word not open on Mac?

I am a new user, and have just converted a PDF to Word, on Mac (using Open Office). The message I'm getting says the file may be corrupt, OO tries to fix but fails, and I get Error message.
The original is a scan of a Greek text. Is the problem with the language?

We need to know what the original document was (Word, Excel...etc). Also, how are you saving to pdf?

You're in the Adobe Acrobat Reader forum which is a free product. Would you accept a check or money order for your refund?

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.

How do I edit a 100 page pdf document without converting to Word. I do not want to edit content. Simply want to save certain pages in seperate files...

I have a large pdf file. I need to break it down into "x" numbers of pages.
Must I convert to Word?
I do not wish to edit the content, simply need certain pages in the pdf saved alone and not in master pdf.
Thanks.

How to setup word docs, converted to PDF on local drive with links to a second file at a page

how to setup word docs, converted to PDF on local drive with links to a second file at a page
Need to setup a set of word documents, converted to PDF that has links from one file to a second file at a given page.
I would like to setup a set of pdf documents, on the hard disk of a PC or Mac, that can be open with acrobat pro running on the same computer and have the link jump to, and open in a new window, in acrobat pro, to a given page of a second document in the set.
Is there a way to setup a link in word and the conversion to pdf that will result in a link that is equivalent to the acrobat link type you get when you add a link of the type Go to a page in another document?
Tools-Advanced Editing-Link tool, make a box
Check: Go to page view, Next (Create go to view dialog opens)
Open second document and go to page
Click “Create go to view dialog” to set up link
Result is a link, when view by link properties, with an action of
Go to a page in another document
File: C:\My Documents\second file.pdf
Page: 43
Zoom level: Custom
I got close but did not solve the problem:
I have a version that uses links to a website, using #page=43 at the end of the hyperlink.
That works but will only open to the page if is through the web browser, opening the acrobat reader plugin.
I need to open from a folder on the local harddisk (with relative links), in acrobat pro to the given page of the pdf, on a PC or a Mac.
I could bookmark each page “pagenumberxxx” and jump to the bookmark/page if that would get around some problem
Current Systems in use to create documents with links and view them:
Windows XP SP3
Word 2003 SP3
Acrobat 9 pro version 9.4.4
Or just to view them:
Mac OS 10 Lion version 10.7.4
Acrobat 9 pro version 9.5.1
(note I have limited understanding of Mac’s)

No. There seems to be no automated way to do it. You can of course go into the PDF and manually add links after you have converted to PDF, but that is what we want to avoid having to do. We want it to be automatic from the Word doc.

How to maintain original lines when converting a word file in a PDF

Unfortunately the table lines often change when converting a word file in a PDF, e.g. dotted/broken lines into straight lines or different kinds of broken lines. How can I maintain the original lines when converting the documents?
Many thanks in advance for your advice.

Hello,
Ok, this is the background.
I’m a publisher. Any document to end user will go as pdf. And off course it preserves the word appearance. We ship our manuals only in pdf. At this point my end users have to copy the “CODES” into his editor to run the product. So when doing it, the “Codes” copied from pdf to his editor loses its format. Editor need not be the actual one; you can also test in a notepad.
P.S: You can find the difference by copying the code from word to notepad and pdf to notepad
Hope you now understood the purpose what I’m looking at for.

How to use .joboptions file while converting from Word to PDF

Hi,
I'm pretty new to Acrobat. I'm using Acrobat XI. I need to convert a word document to a PDF file which conforms to certain requirements described by a given .joboptions file. The .joboptions file can be opened by distiller, but as far as I know distiller is not invovled in the conversion (Word to PDF) process. So how can I make sure the converted PDF file meets the requirement described by the .joboptions file?

Distiller is used when converting from Word to PDF, if you do it via the Acrobat panel, not the Adobe PDF printer or Word's internal Export to PDF command. If you've loaded your joboptions file in Distiller (via Settings - Add Adobe PDF Settings), then you will see it in the drop-down of Conversion Settings when you click the Preferences button in the Acrobat panel in Word.
After you've selected your job options profile click the Create PDF button, and the file will be converted using the selected options.

How do I convert a PDF written in gothic words? And how convert a PDF "image/foto" in Word ?

friends, how to convert file written in Gothic letters to normal letters in Word pdf?
and also, how to convert an image of text to Word?

Hi bulos solon,
I see that you have an ExportPDF subscription. Have you tried converting your PDF files, and found that the results aren't what you expect?
When you convert a PDF file to Word, the ExportPDF service does its best to match the font used in the PDF with one available in its font library. But, you don't get to choose a font for conversion. So, you could simply reformat the text in Word once the file has been converted.
As for converting a image of text (say, from a scanned document) from PDF to Word, that process actually happens with the ExportPDF service. It performs OCR (optical character recognition) by default. (You can disable OCR if you convert via Word, but not if you convert via the website).
I hope this has helped answer your questions. If not, please let us know!
Best,
Sara

How to scan a hard copy to pdf that I can convert to word for editing?

I've got a HP deskjet 3050A and my operating system is Windows 7, how to scan a hard copy to pdf that I can convert to word for editing?
This question was solved.

Hi,
The software provided for your device does not include OCR functionality
You may use any 3rd part OCR solution to scan as editable text.
If you have Microsoft Office suite there is a good chance the office suite provide this kind of capabilities:
Office 2007 or 2010:

How to convert a word file into PDF in command line ?

Hi,
I want to convert a word (excel, powerpoint, ...) into a PDF using a windows command line.
The command :
c:\> acrodist toto.ps
is working file and the output is a PDF file (toto.pdf)
But if i try with a MS office word file it is not working
c:\> acrodist toto.doc
The output in the console is:
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: ÐÏà¡±á ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
If i do a right clic on the file with the mouse and select in the context menu the option convert to PDF it is working fine :-\
How can i convert that kind of file with a command line ?
Thanks for your help
Xav

>But, from the windows explorer, if i do a right clic on the word document, with the context menu, i can directly convert to PDF
This is equivalent to using the PDFMaker facility in Word - that is,
the Acrobat button. Which is also the same thing that is done when you
use File > Create PDF > From File in Acrobat.
What it does is print to a PS file *and* do a lot of additional
processing to write stuff about links, tags etc. into the PS file.
>(no tmp PS file is used, cause the links are still working).
This isn't true, but it's certainly the case that you won't get links.
There seems to be no API, via any mechanism, still less the "obsolete"
(Microsoft's view) command line, to use PDFMaker from your program.

If I understand you correctly, you need to Scale and Position each clip. These are part of the inherent Motion effect attached to every clip, found in the Effects Control Panel.

How can I convert a word file into a pdf and then upload to a web site?

I need to convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site so people can read it from my
site. How can I do this? Can anyone please help? I'm only a newbie. Thanking you in anticipation.

Hi there,
There's actually an easy streamlined way to do this using Acrobat.com. Here are the steps:
1. Log in to Acrobat.com with your Adobe ID.
2. On the left, you'll see a navigation menu that includes the item "Import and Edit". Click that.
3. Choose the .doc (Word) file you want to convert and upload it to Buzzword.
4. After making sure that it looks the way you want it to, go to the top menu (still in Buzzword now, not the organizer where all your files live) and click the document menu. There will be an option to "Export" - choose that.
5. When prompted to select filetype, choose "Adobe PDF" and press OK.
6. It'll save to your desktop, so now you have to get it into your acrobat.com organizer. To do that, close the Buzzword document by clicking the little "x" in the upper right corner, under the Sign Out button. This'll get you back to your organizer, where you can choose "Import" from the left nav menu again. This time choose your new PDF file.
7. Select the file icon in the organizer and click the Share button. Or, select Share from the file context menu.
8. Select Allow Anyone With A Link To Share This Document to set the document to open access, and then click Copy Embed Code. The necessary HTML code to embed the preview is copied onto the clipboard.
9. Open the HTML file and paste the code into the file. The Flash previewer can display any file type that you can convert to PDF.
Hope this helps! Good luck, and let us know how it works out.
