How to convert Images in PDF to Microsoft Word text Properly

I have images in PDF and when I try to convert it to Microsoft word, the "check marks (wingdings)" turn into the letter "D" and the rest have a lot of misspelled words.

PDF page content export reflects the "under-the-hood" quality of how the PDF was made.
This of course is driven, in part, by what the authoring application was, how content was mastered and what process was used to actually paint content to the PDF page.  
http://talkingpdf.org/each-pdf-page-is-a-painting/ 
So --- GIGO is operative.
Goodstuff In = Goodstuff Out
OR
Garbage In = Garbage Out.
The export results tell one which of the above is in play.
As well, 'good' export of PDF actually has a prerequisite.
That is one needs a well-formed Tagged PDF.
Tagged PDF has two main design criteria -
Support Accessible PDF.
Support export of PDF page content
(See ISO 32000)
Having an ISO 14289 (PDF/UA) compliant PDF provides the "well-formed Tagged PDF".
Aside from ISO 3200 and ISO 14289 additional useful information is available at AIIM's web site.

    I wanna Convert PDF to Microsoft Word & Microsoft Word to PDF? How do I Do it?

    Hey,
    Firstly, you might need to refer this link to check the compatibility of MS Word with your Acrobat version:
    Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications
    Also, let me know what Acrobat version are you using?
    You can choose "File>Save as Other> Microsoft Word" to convert PDF file to Word.
    And, while exporting a word file to PDF, either you can use Adobe PDF printer option from the File menu or Acrobat ribbon from the menubar.
    Please check and let me know.

  • Can't convert pdf to microsoft word

    I cannot convert pdf to microsoft word says convert failure
    I cleared browser cache and still does not work
    was working fine a couple of weeks ago

    Hi Nura,
    Are you receiving that message for every file that you try to convert? Or is it specific to one file? Are you converting via the ExportPDF web interface, or via Adobe Reader?
    Please tell us more about the file or files that you're trying to convert. How were they created? Are they complex (many pages, or mix of different fonts and graphics)?

    I have Microsoft Word for my MacBook Pro.  How do I add a pdf to a word document, I have Microsoft Word for my MacBook Pro.  How do I add a pdf to a word document

    What do you want to do specifically.  They are two different document formats - one is PDF, the other DOC or DOCX.  In what way do you wish to "add" ad PDF to a word document. You can embed a mini version within a document (copy it and paste it from within the x.doc) but that's a pretty hokey looking solution.
    Oh, its mostly irrelevant if its office 2004,8 or 11 - they all do this more or less the same way.

  • Error while converting Image -to- PDF and then to PDF/A

    Hi,
    I'm trying to convert a Image format(JPEG,bmp,tiff) to PDF and then to PDF/A. I could able to convert Image to PDF successfully.
    I'm getting the below error while converting the PDF(that was generated) to PDF/A.
    Caused by: com.adobe.livecycle.output.exception.OutputException: Input Document is a already flat PDF Document
    at com.adobe.printSubmitter.PrintServer.transformPDF(PrintServer.java:307)

    Error OCCURRED: ALC-DSC-000-000: com.adobe.idp.dsc.DSCException: Internal error.
    Please give me the solution to convert PDF to PDF/A?

    I've just read a footnote in the API documentation which indicates that the transformPDF function cannot be used for this purpose:
    "GS_Enterprise said on Nov 24, 2007 at 12:03 PM :
    Please note that the parameter "inPdfDoc" for transformPDF assumes that the stream content is an XFA-based PDF, and that it's not an XFA-based PDF with a PDF background (also known as "XFA foreground"). In other words, this function does not convert any input PDF to PDF/A, but only those PDFs generated from an XFA template which does not include any static PDF content as a background."

    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.

  • Keep the same name while converting images to PDF

    I am using Automator to convert images to PDF. The new images are in a different folder, but it is asking for an output file name. Can't I tell it to just keep the same name as the old file?

    leaving the exact format, can you explain what does it mean by correctly formed Arabic fonts ?
    What I did is created a text document in Arabic and converted it to PDF and the same file is converted back to word and the results were all junk..
