I am unable to convert a pdf file to word as I get the error message indicates it contains XFA forms

I am unable to convert a pdf file to word as I get the error message that pdf files containing XFA forms cannot be saved to the specified format.

Hi curtlea,
XFA forms are not regular PDF's but XML files in a PDF shell.
To create a word file from those files, you first have to flatten the XFA forms by printing as PDF with the Adobe PDF Printer.
Then you can save using ExportPDF the created static PDF as Word document.

A "quick" fix that worked for me was to uninstall Adobe... then download the base install for Adobe Reader 11.0.
Then download each of the individual updates and run them sequentially.
I've installed back up to the last security update which is version 08 and have been able to do normal Save As operations.
You will have to disable automatic updates in order to stay at version 08 until Adobe resolves this issue in a later release.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.

I am trying to convert a PDF file to Word, and the microsoft explorer window keeps shutting down?

Microsoft Explorer keeps shutting down during the conversion of a PDF file to Word and gives me an error message regarding the Adobe web page. It keeps circling back to the PDF conversion window and will not allow the process to continue. What can I do to continue the PDF conversion process?

When I try to display .pdf file in browser (with proprietry extension .dnax) I get the error message "A plugin is needed to display this content".

I am trying to display a .pdf file within Firefox on a Vista PC. I have changed the extension from .pdf to .dnax to differentiate this .pdf file from others. I get an error message as above.
The file is displayed using Firefox on another PC with a Linux OS without problem.
Any advice out there?

Firefox typically judges the nature of a document or download based on the content-type header send by the web server. Usually a server has a catalog associating file extensions with content types. When you choose a new file extension, the server may send the generic "it's some kind of binary file" header ("application/octet-stream") which Firefox will not associate with a particular program.
Now, when you open a file from the local system, there is no web server, so Firefox may look to the file extension to ascertain the content type. Obviously that is not working in your case. What happens when you want to open the file from My Computer or Windows Explorer? Does Windows have an application assigned to it? If you can associate it with Adobe Reader in Windows, Firefox may be able to pick that up from the Windows registry.

Converting a PDF file to Word format issue

I am using Adobe Reader XI 11.0.09 with the paid side bar to convert the pdf file to an editable Word 2007 format. The problem is that the formatting after conversion is really bad and getting worse, example of the most recient: "I n a cont ingent circumstance, an effect results from clearly definable causes, t hough t he effect could be different, given an entirel y possible and different interrelation of causes. In short, a contingent event or thi ng is a nonnecessa ry event or thi ng tha t either might not exist or could be other than it is."
The conversion in the past was never this bad and I was hoping it was some setting but I have not found a way to tweak the settings in the converter. I have converted many pdf files and had no problems with the outcome of the conversion until recently.
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
