How to modify a converted doc in Word

I cannot figure out how to edit, modify or manipulate my document after converting from PDF to WORD.
Any guidance, please. 

If you can't edit the type, then the conversion just gave you graphics consistent with the graphical content of the PDF. Sounds like you need to run OCR first.

  • How can I import a .doc (MS Word) with "hidden text" to a new Pages document?

    Without changing the specific text in .doc to non-hidden, nothing but empty line returns comes across.
    I have several .doc files and I am trying to streamline a process.

    There is no hidden text in Pages and if Apple implemented it chances are it would not be the same as Microsoft's.
    There quite a few variations between Pages and MsWord so transferring documents between them is a hit and miss at the best of times.

    Hi olivias,
    It sounds like there may be some confusion on your system about what application should be associated with PDF files. You can reset filename associations by following the steps in these articles (depending on your operating system):

    Install Acrobat XI (Standard or Pro).
    Use Acrobat's create PDF feature for supported file formats (TXT, RTF, DOC, DOCX, JPEG, TIFF and others are supported).
    Use the installed Adobe PDF virtual printer to "print" a PDF from any application that can print to an installed printer.
    Be well...

    Right. If you are using delegated privs and sudo, make sure that sudo is configured to pass on the PERL5LIB and ORACLE_HOME environment variables at least.

    Hi kathyv30365453,
    You can convert PDF to Word using either  the ExportPDF online service, or Acrobat. I checked your account, and it doesn't look like you've purchased an ExportPDF subscription. If you want to give Acrobat a try, you're welcome to download a 30-day trial from the link I reference above. In Acrobat, you choose File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document.

  • Convert multiple files (word docs) to multiple pdf

    Hi,
    Is there a script I can use in batch processing to convert about 1500 word documents into pdf? I know it's possible to convert multiple files into one pdf, but this is no good to me. Doing these conversions one by one is going to take forever!
    I've tried selecting a few documents at a time and then selecting "convert to pdf" from the right-click menu, but each one requires that you tell it where to save, and then opens the file when it is done.
    I need to convert Word files on a regular basis for work, and could really use a batch process for this with so many to do!
    I have Acrobat 7 Pro (version 7.1.0) on XP Pro SP 2 at work, and Acrobat 8 Pro (Version 8.1.2) on XP Pro SP 3 at home.
    If there is anyway it's possible to do this via a batch process I would really appreciate knowing how!!
    Apologies if this has been covered in another thread, I searched but couldn't find anything.
    Thanks in advance :)

    I have Acrobat 9 Pro. I can batch convert Word docs to PDFs by doing this:
    1. Open Acrobat Pro. Click File > Create PDF > Batch Create Multiple Files...
    2. A window will open prompting you to add files. Click Add Files > Add Files... OR Add Folders... If adding a folder, navigate to it, and click OK to add it to the list. You can also select a bunch of files and drag & drop them into the Add Files window.
    3. Once you have all the files listed that you want to convert, click OK. A new window called Output Options will open. In this window, select your preferred settings. For me, I want all the new PDFs to have the same filename and be in the same folder as the Word docs, so I choose these settings:
    4. Click OK, and then the batch process will begin running. You will see Word opening and closing. However, you won't have to click Save or anything. You can run it unattended. The process takes a little while, so I usually set up a batch to run, then go to lunch. Once finished, you should have all your new PDFs:
    Hope that helps someone!

  • When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the test and change the font, it does not change it properly?

    When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the text and change the font, it does not change it properly? This is making it impossible to amend.

    Hi Janedance1,
    If the PDF that you converted already has searchable text, please try disabling OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel. (If the PDF was created from a scanned document and doesn't already have searchable text, disabling OCR isn't a great option, as the text won't be searchable/editable in the converted Word doc.)
    Please let us know how it goes.
