How do I convert a file to a word document

How do I convert a file in pages to a word document so I can attach it to an email?

This is pretty infuriating. There is NO way to SAVE AS a Word document. You can only export it to Word. I'm getting increasingly irritated by people saying 'That's the same as a Save'. No it's not!
At home I have a Mac, but at work we use PCs. I don't have Word on my Mac (or Pages on PC, obviously). When preparng documents at home, the ability to Save AS a Word document has been crucial. Now that has been removed. I am being forced to shell out for Word. Once I have Word (a far better application than Pages, IMO) I will simply cease to use Pages.
Why would Apple want to force dual-platform users to purchase one of their rivals products? Especially when this would mean less people using Pages as a result? Baffling, yet somehow not surprising...

    Not stupid you! To, from PDF--it gets confusing!
    To edit a PDF file, you need to use Acrobat. Depending on how much work needs to be done to the PDF, it may make sure sense to edit in Word, and then reconvert to PDF. Acrobat doesn't function as a word processor, so while limited changes to the text should be fine, extensive updates may not yield the results you're looking for.
    That said, if you don't have Acrobat, you are welcome to try it for free for 30 days. For more information, see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.

  • Convert InDesign File to a Word Document

    I am trying to convert a file from an InDesign file to a word document and have fallen into a problem. I also have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and have tried to save my InDesign file as a PDF, so far so good. It looks perfect, but when I save the PDF as a .doc all of the text and pictures have moved around and the different frames used in InDesign have joined and there is no way to rearrange the pages like they were originally. I need to convert these pages to Word Perfect so that I can send them out and they can be edited. How can an InDesign file be saved to be used with Word Perfect? I thought if I converted it to a PDF and then to a word, everything would be fine, but the file isn't be converted correctly.

    > How can an InDesign file be saved to be used with Word Perfect?
    Short answer is you can't do it easily. Didn't you post this question in
    ID forum awhile back?
    If not, it was discussed there and you might want to search there. If it
    was you, nothing's changed. What you want to do is just plain work and
    you'll never get the same type of layout in a word processor as you will
    in a pagelayout application.

  • I want to use adobe to convert aPDF file into a word document that I can edit.How??

    I select a PDF file and then use adobe to open it .It then asks me do I want to "save" the file.I save it and when I open it there is nothing there?There is no option to immediately open it in word!
    How does this thing work?

    Good day,
    After you've saved the converted file to your hard drive, you'll want to navigate to where it's been saved and then open it in Word. 
    Alternatively, you could convert your files using ExportPDF's web interface.  To do this, simply visit http://exportpdf.acrobat.com and click 'Sign in' at the top right corner.  Enter your Adobe ID (email address) credentials to log into the service. After you're logged in, you should see the ExportPDF interface, with a button saying 'Select PDF file..' to get the process started.
    Please let us know if you have any questions.
    Kind regards,

  • Converting pdf file to a word document

    I'm trying to convert a pdf file to a word doc during the trial period but I'm having trouble. Does anyone know how I can achieve this?

    Windows does not really tell us the OS. There are many variations, including 32 and 64-bit systems.
    Anyway, assuming you are using Acrobat XI, you to to File>Save As and select to export to WORD. You should find 2 choices, retain format and retain flow or somthing like that. You should probably try both.

  • Saving a PDF file to a Word Document

    Can someone please tell me how to save a PDF file as a word document?  When I do a "save as" with the doc extension, a window pops up that says, "Save as failed to process this document.  No file was created."  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    Thank you.  I have attached the document that I am trying to save as a word
    document.  Please let me know if you are able to save it as a word document.
    It should work unless there is an issue with the PDF itself. Can you post
    the
    PDF?
    Also, keep in mind that saving to a Word doc from a PDF is far from foolproof.
    Here's an article that can explain it better than me (along with some good
    tips).

    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.
    Be well...
