How do I edit exported PDF that is now  a word document?

I scanned a word document that is now a PDF in my computer. With acrobat it is apparently exported as a word document in my files.  However, my whole purpose was to edit the doculment that I scanned in the first place.  I cannot edit the exported PDF. How do I do this?  If I can't achieve this goal, the whole subscription is worthless to me!

If an image is embedded within a Word document***, then you can double click on it to bring it into some sort of image editor within Word, and then Copy and Paste it into Preview.
You can create a new document in Preview from the clipboard contents.
*** Why do people use Word files as a container format for images, why???

  • How do I edit a scanned file converted to a word document?

    How do you take a scanned document to a word document & then edit it?

    Many scanners have the ability to save as PDF.  If you scan your document to a PDF file, you can then use the ExportPDF service to convert that file to a Word document.  The ExportPDF service will perform optical character recognition (OCR) on your document to try to identify the text as actual text instead of an image.  You should then be able to edit the file.
    Please let us know if you have any questions.

  • In Adobe reader:  How can I edit a letter that I created in Word for mac, and then STUPIDLY saved as a pdf?

    There seems to be no way to delete content, and replace it with other content.

    If you don't have the Word document anymore, you may be able to export the pdf to a Word document using either the 30 day trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro or by subscribing to Adobe ExportPDF (available in the newest version of Reader) for a month.

  • I do not have the ability to edit my .pdf once converted into a word document. Did I purchase the wrong version?

    When I covert my pdf into a word document it does not allow me to edit the actual text. I can add random text to the document, not following the format of the document (not aligned, not the same font, etc.). I can add text, but I cannot what is already in a sentence or paragraph.
    Did I purchase the wrong version?
    Thanks,
    Cindy.

    Hi cindyjay,
    You have the right tool for converting PDF files to Word. For starters, please try triple-clicking in the text block that you want to edit. If that doesn't work, we'll need to take a closer look at how the PDF that you converted was created (did it start out as a scanned document, for example). If it did start as a scanned document, it's important that OCR (optical character recognition) was performed during conversion to convert scanned text to editable text. OCR is on by default when you convert via the ExportPDF website, but can be turned off if you convert via Reader.
    If triple-clicking doesn't work, let me know, and then we'll take a closer look at your file.
    Best,

  • How do i change a pdf in preview to a word document in pages?

    Preview does not have that capability. Go to MacUpdate or CNET Downloads and search for software that can do such a conversion.

  • How can I edit a PDF that auto fills on my Mac?

    I am trying to fill out PDF forms that will auto generate once I put in some numbers. The Preview does not let me do this on my Mac. Is there any way to do this without buying a super expensive app? I recently bought my Mac and I like it, but I am having issues doing simple tasks like this that I used to do on my PC.

    There are a number of pdf converts for the mac.  Search macupdate.com or appstore for them.  Here's two developers that make pdf tools:

  • How can I edit a PDF?

    How can I edit a PDF without converting it to word or excel?

    Hi, newleopard.
    1. Drag the PDF file onto the icon for Preview to open it. Drag the cursor over the text to select it, hit Command-C to copy it, open any document you like in the application of your choice, and Command-V to paste the text into that document. You can't edit the text in the PDF document itself this way, but you can copy the whole text, paste it into a new docuemnt in any other application, edit it to suit your needs, and save it as a new PDF file from the Print dialog box.
    2. GraphicConverter can open a PDF file, allow you to modify its graphic contents, and save the revised file as a new PDF.

  • How do i edit a PDF file that was sent to me in an email?

    How do i edit a PDF file that was sent to me in an email?

    Depends on the extent of the edits. You will need Acrobat in any case. If the edits or minor, you can use the text edit tool. For major edits, you need to request the original file be sent or see if you can Save As a DOC or related file type. PDFs are not really structured for editing and you are asking for a lot of grief if you want to do much. Exporting is the best way, or even better simply asking the author for the original (non-PDF type).

  • How do I get a refund on Export PDF that has ALREADY been agreed

    On 1/21-1/22 I tried to 'renew' a subscription for Export PDF. By some error (maybe mine - I just dont understand the whole thing) my Bank was immediately charged for two subscriptions, each at a different price. I immediately "chat"ted with several  reps (it was difficult to get onto the chat and find out how to cancel) and was assured that both would be cancelled and refunded. They weren't!
    I waited a week. Was again frustrated by the chat hookup, and tried the 'cloud' retail product tel #, assuming it was wrong but that I could be switched to the correct one. Had a very pleasant chat, was assured that both would be cancelled and refunded, received 2 e-mails confirming the cancellations, each with a seperate "Case #". Felt pretty good! It had only taken me a week of reasonably diligent effort to get a very simple thing done! IT WASN"T DONE! (Yes, I apologize - I know I'm loud - but by now I've got steam coming out of my ears!)
    Today I got an e-mail, telling me that the refund had been processed and the case # would be closed. I looked at my bank, and only one had been refunded! I reviewed all the other e-mails and the notes from the telephone calls and chats to be sure I hadn't misunderstood something. But, no I hadn't. I went to my Adobe on-line and looked up 'my orders' history. Sure enough one had been invoiced and refunded ( the lesser charge of the two) but the other had ONLY BEEN INVOICED - NOT CANCELLED. And it seems that every piece of this transaction generates a new "order" , "case" or some other "reference #" - none of which are tied together, except by the invoice amount, when it is mentioned - which it typically IS NOT.
    My question, then, is : How can I get past this absolute frustration over every aspect of my interaction with Adobe and GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF?????????

    Hi Stacy,
        What frustration? (Just kidding !)
        As I mentioned, one of the two charges has been  refunded. Credited by
    Adobe on Jan 28, I believe I received it in my bank on Jan  30.
        The other charge, $25.37 of order # AD011017507,  has not been received
    by my bank yet. But this can't be that much of a surprise,  and has nothing
    to do with "10 business days" for refunds to post.
        To this minute, "My Orders" on Adobe website shows  that the order #
    AD011017507  was invoiced on January 22, but that no  credit invoice has been
    posted against this order to this moment!
        Can you begin to understand the frustration of  being unable, through
    all attempts to untangle this mess, starting within  one hour of the original
    order, with I believe nine different "Chats",  telephone calls and, finally
    a "problem" posting,  stretching over more  than thirteen days. Of course
    it doesn't make much sense to devote this much  attention to less than $50
    worth of stuff, but I do not let things like this  dangle.
        And can you imagine how loathe I am to deal with  Adobe for fear of
    some real problem?
        At any rate, I would certainly be pleased if you  can suggest a way for
    me to extricate myself from this. Any help would be  GREATLY appreciated!
        Thanks for your time and any trouble,
        Stephen Ellis

    ok so i dowloaded the pdf editor and only amall screen shows up and i log in but it doesnt let me do anything other that stare at it ... how can i edit a pdf?

    Word processor like "editing" is not tolerated by PDF (the file format/technology discussed and described by the ISO Standard for PDF, ISO 32000-1).  Minor touchups are tolerated. The textual characters have to be renderable text (a scanner's output image of text is a picture of text not "real" text).
    Open the PDF with Acrobat XI.
    Click-path:
    Tools - Content Editing - Edit Text & Images
    Be well...
