I am trying to convert three older PDFs to DocX. They fail every time, message is "too complex"

This is really disappointing. Expected that the files would need work after conversion (they're older files, with many pages), but can't get out of the starting gates. Please help!

Hi Derek,
It sounds like the 'old' files you describe were originally scans, is that correct? Are there splotches and dots on the images?
If so - I would recommend you try using our 30 day free trial of Acrobat XI Pro. This may help with the conversion...
Looking forward to hearing back from you!
Kind regards, Stacy

I am trying to export the PDF file and conversion fails every time.

I am trying to export the PDF file and conversion fails every time. File is too large of too complex. What do I do? One file is about 55 mb and the other is 58 mb.

Try extracting part of the file and see if the extracted part can be Exported. If so, repeat with the next set of pages. When done, try to load all into the first file.

Trying to convert word to pdf and getting error message using Ver. 7

I what sent a word doc by a correspondent of mine which I tried to convert to a pdf. I right clicked the doc on my desk top and chose "convert to PDF". It looked as it has all the other times but after it had opened word it came up with an error window/message of "Missing PDFmaker files." "Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?" and then a yes or no button. If I hit no it closes everything if I hit yes it acts like it's installing something and after a while it tells me that the computer needs to be restarted for changes to take affect. I have run it twice now and it doesn't change anything.
can someone give me any tips on this?

You did not indicate the version of WORD. If it is WORD 2007, then you can not do this function with AA7. Try opening the file in WORD and printing to the Adobe PDF printer. If that works, then look for the PDF Maker options in WORD (create PDF). If you find them, then try that. If they do not show but the print worked, then you indeed have an issue with PDF Maker - probably either the macro is not activated in WORD or the version of WORD is 2007.

Hi raythree,
I'm sorry that your PDF conversion is working. Can you please tell me if you're getting a specific error message? Knowing that can help pinpoint the cause of the conversion failure. However, here are a couple of things that you could try:
Clear your browser cache (steps to do this vary by browser).
If you're using a work computer, check with your IT team to confirm if you have firewall/proxy settings that restrict the ability to upload files to the Internet.
Try another web browser. A list of supported browsers for accessing the ExportPDF service is available here: http://www.adobe.com/acom/systemreqs/.
Also, note that there is a 100MB file size limit, so if your publisher file is larger than that, it won't upload to ExportPDF.
I hope this helps. But let us know if you need further assistance.
Best,
Sara

Something to try - use Acrobat to extract small page counts (say 10 pages) to have smaller page size PDF files. Export these to Word files. Then bring those together.
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.

Hello Rattisate,
Sorry to hear you are not able to connect to Wi-Fi on your MacBook Pro. I would be concerned about this too. You can find information on how to troubleshoot this in the following article:
Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
Follow the steps in the section labeled, "Symptom: My Mac does not connect to the Internet."
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

Hi Emilemny,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The TouchID settings will not be available until you create a passcode, see the article linked below for more information.
iPhone 5s: Using Touch ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5883
You can set up Touch ID in iOS Setup Assistant or by tapping Settings > Touch ID & Passcode. To set up Touch ID, you must first set a passcode. Touch ID is designed to minimize the input of your passcode, but you need a passcode for additional security validation, such as enrolling new fingerprints.

I have been trying to update my cc info and for some reason it has kept saying that the cc info does not match with the bank so the transcation failed every time I was trying to download something even when it's free but my cc got charged $1.- each time.

I have been trying to update my cc info but for some reason it has kept saying the cc info did not match with the bank info so the transaction failed every time I made an attempt to download something even it was free.

Im wondering why my post hasn't been answered yet. I did file a report with the BBB and I had a rude representative from Verizon call me named Steve. He said I can file all of the reports I want and I will just keep getting calls from him. I can understand why my phone couldn't be replaced because of the small crack. I guess I have to eat that one (but it sucks because the lollipop update is what caused the problems) but what about all of the data overage I had to pay for for trying to fix this phone because of a lollipop update. I dont think it is fair to have to pay that as well. In addition, because I have an east coast phone number but live on the west coast, I cannot have tech support after 8pm. Verizon has cut this off. Im very dissatisfied and I have been a customer of Verizon for 13 years. Im hoping for a response this time.
