How do I convert scanned pdf to doc

PDF's that are generated by scanning sometimes are not convertible to word documents.   Why is this happening and what do I need to do to make the conversion?

There are also sites that offer free online OCR. Here are two:

  • How can I convert a pdf or .doc into a url

    I want to link a pdf file to a word on a website. I think the easiest way would be to link a url address but I do not know how to get a url address from a pdf or I do not know where the url address can be found. Can anyone help me with this?

    Hi, Chartla2012.
    I would suggest you speak to the IT department or service which is hosting your website. Your question is not exactly related to our CreatePDF service.
    You can include links in PDF files. Those links can go to any Internet-hosted content, including Word files. In this way, you could have a user open a PDF file in his browser and click on a link in the PDF which will in turn open a Word file.

    How do I convert a pdf file into a word doc in order to make chnages?

    You need Acrobat and can then use File --> Save As... --> Microsoft Word. Just don't expect miracels. PDFs aren't meant for editing and you may end up with clumps of text and lose all formatting and may have to rebuild the document completely.

  • Pls tell me how I can convert a PDF form to a Word doc, and have radio buttons etc work?

    Pls tell me how I can convert a PDF form to a Word doc, and have radio buttons etc work?  My PDF form did convert using Adobe PDF Export.... but the formatting is a schamozzle if I try to do anything with it.  Most importantly, I need the check boxes and radio buttons to work in Word!

    Checkboxes and radio buttons are form objects from Acrobat.  There is no equivalent for these objects, with the way they were constructed, within Word.
    I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
