How do I remove formatting in a Word doc converted from PDF?
I have the PDF to Word Converter. When I convert the pdf to Word and try to type or edit the doc it is so heavily formatted that I am unable to make the changes I want. The other issue is some symbols, when converted, come our distorted when compared to the original pdf.

How to edit word doc converted from PDF
I converted a PDF to a Word docx, and need to edit the doc. How do I do this?
As you would any other document. The problem is likely that you had scanned to PDF and never ran OCR. Thus the DOC file is a collection of pictures and no text. You either have to edit the graphic to fix the text or go back to the PDF and do OCR first. Use Searchable PDF to enable useful fonts for the DOC file.

How do I make hearts and symbols disappear from Word Doc converted from pdf?
This is the first time I've tried to convert a document. I am in a new job and I'm stuck. How do I convert pdf to word and not get symbols all over the Word doc?
Appears to be a font related issue.
Regardless, all you can do with the circumstances you describe is to use MS Word to perform cleanup of the export content.
Alternatively print the PDF to paper and use that as a source for transcription into a fresh word processor file.

How to setup word docs, converted to PDF on local drive with links to a second file at a page
how to setup word docs, converted to PDF on local drive with links to a second file at a page
Need to setup a set of word documents, converted to PDF that has links from one file to a second file at a given page.
I would like to setup a set of pdf documents, on the hard disk of a PC or Mac, that can be open with acrobat pro running on the same computer and have the link jump to, and open in a new window, in acrobat pro, to a given page of a second document in the set.
Is there a way to setup a link in word and the conversion to pdf that will result in a link that is equivalent to the acrobat link type you get when you add a link of the type Go to a page in another document?
Tools-Advanced Editing-Link tool, make a box
Check: Go to page view, Next (Create go to view dialog opens)
Open second document and go to page
Click “Create go to view dialog” to set up link
Result is a link, when view by link properties, with an action of
Go to a page in another document
File: C:\My Documents\second file.pdf
Page: 43
Zoom level: Custom
I got close but did not solve the problem:
I have a version that uses links to a website, using #page=43 at the end of the hyperlink.
That works but will only open to the page if is through the web browser, opening the acrobat reader plugin.
I need to open from a folder on the local harddisk (with relative links), in acrobat pro to the given page of the pdf, on a PC or a Mac.
I could bookmark each page “pagenumberxxx” and jump to the bookmark/page if that would get around some problem
Current Systems in use to create documents with links and view them:
Windows XP SP3
Word 2003 SP3
Acrobat 9 pro version 9.4.4
Or just to view them:
Mac OS 10 Lion version 10.7.4
Acrobat 9 pro version 9.5.1
(note I have limited understanding of Mac’s)
JohnNo. There seems to be no automated way to do it. You can of course go into the PDF and manually add links after you have converted to PDF, but that is what we want to avoid having to do. We want it to be automatic from the Word doc.

i was informed i need to purchase standard 11 or standard 12 from adobe in order to make files converted from pdf to word using the recently bought and installed adobe pdf exporter file. how/where do i do this?
Currently the Acrobat version is "XI" (no "12").
With Acrobat XI installed:
"File - Save As Other" --- from here you pick the supported file format for the export.
If a PDF has content that is the output of a scanner then that output (as is the case for All scanners' output) is a picture of text and not real text.
During an export all that can be processed is the picture. As a picture of text is not text it is understandable why Word (or other word processors) cannot edit the content.
So, for such, prior to export run Acrobat's OCR and save.
The export will be of the OCR content.
Do expect to do clean of the text, spelling, punctuation, layout etc.
This may be minor. This may be major. But, there will be some.
Adobe as some online subscription services that can take a "proper" PDF (NOT all are eh) and export to supported file formats.
Two are "ExportPDF" and "PDF Pack".

How do I maintain column formatting when converting from PDF to Excel?
How do I maintain column formatting when converting from PDF to Excel? All info is no longer on the lines or in the columns they started out being in? Any help would be appreciated.
Sara,
Perhaps I am expecting too much from Adobe ExportPDF. The reason I subscribed to this service, for which I pay a yearly fee, was that I need a way to convert scanned and digital documents to Word &/or Excel. I read the link you included but to be candid the more I tried to understand what was written the more confused I got. The process should not be this difficult. Currently I am using a NEAT scanner to create PDF documents of whatever I scan. After I changed the OCR setting on Adobe ExportPDF the output was much better but not to the point it was usable as it was. Information that appears to be lines and columns are sometimes not recognizing two columns and just putting them together in one. Obviously not usable. The other thing it does is bunch numbers that appear in a column that are just a bunch of numbers that I have no way of fixing.
Please let me speak to someone who can help me. Right now I not getting anything of value in my paid subscription. -
How can I remove multiple copies of the same song from the iTunes listing?
How can I remove multiple copies of the same song from the iTunes listing. The program seems to be picking up the same songs from, for example, my user area and my public area in the C drive
As above, Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library, however it is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve/merge ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

How can I remove my company’s iCloud Contacts account from a former employee's iPhone and have the current information removed from their iPhone at the same time as well? Will just changing the iCloud password be enough? Our company shares an iCloud account for convenience but when someone leaves we don't want the information to stay on their iPhone.
Changing the password would only block them from accessing the iCloud information. They would still have access to the local copy on thier phone. To delete the local information, you would need to go to Settings>iCloud on the phone, tap Delete Account, then choose Delete from My iPhone. (This only deletes the iCloud account and data from the phone, not from iCloud.) This, obviously, must be done during the exit process as it requires access to the phone.
