How do I convert a large pdf to word?

I have tried converting a 164 page document to word and to rtf. On both occasions i get the message that the file is too large or complicated. Can i split the pdf into two or more files and if so how?

Open the file in Acrobat, and then go to File - Save As Other - Microsoft

  • Tried to convert a large PDF to word. Timed Out....tried 3 times

    I tried to convert a very large PDF document to word three times; it timed out all three times, solution? Thanks Rick

    Hi Ricks PDF,
    How large is the PDF? There is a file size limit of 100MB; so if the file is larger, ExportPDF can't upload it. If the file is smaller than 100MB, you can try disabling OCR. See How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

  • I can't convert a large PDF to Word - what's wrong?

    I’m trying to convert a 22MB PDF file and it fails. The only message I get is ‘there was an error’ or something like that after spending over 2-hours (or so) under the status of ‘converting file to Word using Adobe ExportPDF on-line’.  My first though was the size, but saw that there is a 100MB limit.  If my PDF (from a good source) has a password or permissions preventing the conversion, would ExportPDF state that upfront as the reason it did not convert?  What should I try or what are my options to convert this PDF to Word?

    Hi Gary,
    I would like to help! If you don't mind - send me the file directly and I can take a look. My e-mail address is: [email protected]
    Looking forward to hearing back from you.
    Kind regards, Stacy

  • How do I convert a large PDF (1000 pages) into excel?

    This does not seem to work.

    Did you try processing smaller numbers of pages? The application (or your computer) may not have the memory to do all the pages at one time. You could combine them together in Excel.
    Which version of Acrobat are you using?

  • How do I convert a Russian pdf to Word? It converts to nothing but symbols.

    Do I need to install something else in order to convert a pdf in the russian language to a word doc?

    If I'm guessing correctly, you are asking how to unimpose a booklet set up as printer spreads so you can post it as individual pages.
    The short answer is that you don't. You make a new PDF from the original file.
    If that's not possible, be prepared for a lot of work placing the pdf into ID and cropping off half of each spread (you'll eventually place every spread twice) and rearranging the cropped halves into consecutive order.

  • How to convert a large PDF into smaller files

    How does one convert a large PDF file into smaller files and not get odd page breaks.  Need to get the page breaks at the headers.  Just looking for instructions for an end user of Acrobat Pro who reports getting random page breaks and couldn't get help from the Adobe help desk.  I was directed here when I tried to contact support ... Figure this forum may have information. ... thanks.

    You can't. If you split the file into pages it will remain in the same layout the original has. PDF files were not meant to be edited in the way you're describing.

  • Acrobat only converts the page that is displayed.  How do I export/convert an entire PDF to word or exel?

    I have some huge reports that need to be converted.  This is not a one time thing.
    When I try to export PDF to word, excel, or any format offered, it:
    only saves the headers/footers.
    If I select all; it only saves the page(s) displayed on screen
    How can I convert an entire PDF to word or excel?
    Auto-scrolling is on and that made sadly no difference.
    There are too many pages to put it on 10% and view them all on one screen
    Please help

    Hi, sorry I should have put that in my original post.
    Version: Acrobat XI
    I tried multiple things which included:
    Tools --> Content Editing --> Export File To... [ This saves a blank file ]
    Select All --> Tools --> Content Editing --> Export File To... [ Saves only the page that is displayed on the monitor, the rest is all blank except header and footer ]
    Select All --> File --> Save As --> Excel or Word [ Saves only the page displayed on monitor ]
    File --> Save As --> Excel or Word [ Saves only the page displayed on monitor ]
    Select All --> File --> Save As Other --> Excel or Word [ Saves only the page displayed on monitor ]
    File --> Save As Other --> Excel or Word [ Saves only the page displayed on monitor ]
    Tools --> Edit Text & Images --> Cannot Select All --> Export File To... [ Saves only what is displayed on the monitor ]
    I'll edit and add to my original post if it lets me.

  • A pdf file failed to convert to word, presumably because of size.  how do i split a large pdf file into manageable secrtions?

    I'm running Abode Reader XI version 11.0.7.  Repeated attempts to convert a large (439 page) file, a dissertation, failed.  How do I split a large pdf file like this into manageable sections for conversion?

    Hi Mike,
    Your 11MB file is well within the file-size limits for ExportPDF, but depending on the number of pages, complexity of the file (and yours doesn't sound complex), and your connection speed, it is possible that the service is simply timing out before it can finish processing. These steps can help:
    If the file already contains editable text (that is, it isn't a scanned document), try disabling OCR as outlined in this this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel.
    Clear the browser cache and try again.
    Try a different browser.
    Let's start there. If you still can't export the file to Word, let me know and we'll take it from there.
    Best,
    Sara

  • How can I send a large pdf file (42MB) attachments by icloud ??

    How can I send a large pdf file (42MB) attachment by email in Icloud ???

    That's a bit excessive.  The website http://convert.neevia.com/pdfcompress/ can compress files up to 5 MB in size. You may want to print to PDF single smaller pages, or print the document and scan it one page at a time to PDF, and then use the PDF compress tools to shrink it further.

  • How can I convert a large batch of NEFs to JPGs in one step or action?

    How can I convert a large batch of NEFs to JPGs in one step or action?  I'm very new to Lightroom and know almost nothing about it, so I need to know step-by-step.  I've seen online advise about exporting but I don't know what that means - export from where to where?  Can anyone help me?  Thanks!

    I suggest you take a little time to watch some tutorials. If you are that new to Lightroom that you don't understand what export means then it would probably be a good idea for you to get some other information as well. If you don't I think you'll find Lightroom can be very confusing. You haven't indicated what version of Lightroom you are using. The link I'm providing you is a series of getting started videos for Lightroom 5. And just about everything in this series will apply to other versions. You will note that there is one video devoted exclusively to exporting images. But I think you really need to watch the whole series.

    How do I convert a Dutch pdf document to Word ?

    While the ExportPDF service doesn't support Dutch at this time, it does support French, which uses a similar character set.  You may want to try choosing French as the OCR language.
    Let us know how it goes.
