How do I converting PDF to editable Word?

I've follwoed the onscreen directions multiple times over the past week but have been unable to acheive a successful conversion. The uploading file to Adobe ExportPDF online monitor just keeps going round and round in circles for HOURS! There is no sign of any progress. I don't know if the programme is doing anything or sitting sucking its thumb. How can I tell if it is progressing or if it is jammed. And more importantly how do I get these blessed files converted from scanned PDF to editable Word? I have Windows 8 but am really struggling to get my usual applications to work properly with the new operating system.

A scanned document is really just an image; converting it to Word will still result in an image.
The scanned document needs text recognition processing (OCR); I don't know if ExportPDF can actually do that.
I will move your topic to the ExportPDF forum, where they know a lot more about it than here in the Reader forum.

    You need an OCR program. The most popular is Adobe Acrobat, but there are many free PDF> TXT programs.

  • I have a PDF document in Hebrew--how do I convert it to editable Word document?

    I have a document in PDF--in Hebrew.  How can I convert it into a neditable Word document?   When I tied converting it, the Hebew characters of thge original came out as bizarre latin fonts--and when I changed the fonts, some to hebrew, they all appeared equally strange and unusable

    Unfortunately our ExportPDF service doesn't support Hebrew text.  You can vote for this feature in here: http://forums.adobe.com/ideas/1554  We use the Ideas section to help prioritize features.

  • How do I convert pdf back to word?

    I converted a pdf to word.  How do I convert that same file back to pdf so that it looks the same as the initial pdf document?  Thanks.

    Hi gcw92591042,
    I just checked your subscription details and you are currently subscribed to Adobe Export PDF service that enables you to convert pdf documents into various other formats like .doc, .rtf etc.
    However in order to convert such files back into pdf format, you need to subscribe to Adobe PDF Pack(Reliably Create PDFs, Convert PDFs, & Merge PDFs Online | Adobe PDF Pack ).
    Alternatively you can use Acrobat software to edit your pdf files without getting into the hassle of converting them into doc format and vice-verse. You can download a free 30 day trial from this Link - Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X
    Hope that helps with your query. Please revert back if you have any other questions or need any further assistance.
    Regards,
    Rahul

  • Converting pdf to editable word doc

    Does anyone know if you can convert pdf files back into an
    editable word document? If so, how?
    Thank you.

    Hello Murphy#1,
    Thanks for your post.
    Converting PDF to another file type is outside of the scope
    of Acrobat.com's functionality. Of course that doesn't mean the
    operation can't be done!
    I performed a
    Google
    search for PDF to Word and saw a few options.
    You may consider looking one or more of these.
    Or if you'd like, you could ask this question over on the
    Acrobat forums, as some users there may be performing this type of
    workflow as well.
    Acrobat
    Pro Forums
    Give some of those suggestions a try!
    Cheers,
    Pete

    Hi mirkok88586581,
    You can use Acrobat DC to convert PDF files to Word. If you don't have Acrobat, you're welcome to try it for free for 30-days. You can download the trial from this page: Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat Pro DC.
    (We also have an ExportPDF online subscription which allows you to convert PDF to Word, but that subscription is not available in Croatia.)

  • 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?

    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...

  • After I have converted PDF file to Word how can I select certain pages to save them as a new document? Thank you

    After I have converted PDF file to Word how can I select certain pages to save them as a new document? Thank you

    You've said you have a Word file and want to use some pages in the file to create a new document.
    Use Word to establish a new Word file that has the desired pages for the original Word file.
    You now have a "new document" of the desired pages.
    With Acrobat Standard or Pro installed you can create a "new document" PDF.
    If you do not have Acrobat Standard or Pro or a subscription to an online Adobe service that can create PDF from MS Word you can use the Microsoft process to create PDF that comes with MS Word.
    Be well...
