I cannot get a large 173 page pdf document to convert to excel.  it is set out in a format much like excel with columns and rows.

I am trying to convert a large document into excel so I can organize 7272 people based on certifcations, provinces, etc.  But it will not convert.  Just keeps coming up "conversion failure"  what can I do?

Hi mistrasmike,
I suspect that your Excel file is too complex--at 173 pages--for ExportPDF to convert before timing out. You can try converting via Reader with OCR disabled as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community. Disabling OCR can simplify the conversion process. (However, this option isn't optimal if your PDF was created from a scanned document.)
Other things to try are clearing the browser cache or trying a different browser.
I think, though, with a file that large, you would probably have the most luck saving directly to Excel from Acrobat. If you don't have Acrobat, you may try it for free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.
Best,
Sara

  • How do I edit a 100 page pdf document without converting to Word. I do not want to edit content. Simply want to save certain pages in seperate files...

    I have a large pdf file. I need to break it down into "x" numbers of pages.
    Must I convert to Word?
    I do not wish to edit the content, simply need certain pages in the pdf saved alone and not in master pdf.
    Thanks.

  • Is there a way to split a very large 1 page pdf into letter size multiple page pdf?

    I often have very large single page pdfs that need to be printed onto letter size paper.  Usually I don't have access to the printer where I'm working so I have to send the file to someone for printing. 
    I have AXI pro, they don't. 
    I want to make sure the job is printed as I specify and most of the users are using Reader.  So I want to give the someone the pdf ready to print sized in legal.  This requires manipulation of the pdf that I don't seem to be able to figure out how to do.
    In older versions of Acrobat, I could print to a new pdf and designate the page size.  Acrobat would create the multipage pdf.  The newer versions don't allow this. 
    With OSX 10.8 & AXI you can't save, export, split a one page (68" x 16") document into multiple page letter size (16 pages) pdf.
    Perhaps this can be done by printing to eps and running through distiller again or something else, but I'm stumped at the moment.
    Any suggestions of how to attach this would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    That's a tough one. Acrobat is not designed for tiling PDF files to create another PDF. That's really what you're asking. There is the option to PRINT to a PDF, and turn on the Poster feature. If were in Windows where there is a real Adobe PDF printer driver, you could probably use that feature. But for various reasons (too complicated to describe here), that was withdrawn on the Macintosh.
    If you have a copy of Adobe InDesign, and if you installed an Adobe PDF 9 PPD file (see description below), it could be done in a somewhat awkward way. InDesign allows you to place PDF files so you would need to make a page of the proper size and place your large PDF:
    Then after installing the Adobe PDF 9 PPD file, you could choose File > Print. Then choose to print a PostScript file to the Adobe PDF 9.0 PPD file. In the Setup panel, you'd choose a Letter size page. Then you'd choose the Tile option at the bottom and set the Overlap amount:
    Then you'd save the PostScript file and process through Distiller.
    My blog post below describes how to find and install the Adobe PDF 9.0 PPD file:

    ITS BEEN OVER "2" WEEKS STILL CANNOT GET TO LOG IN PAGE TO WEBMAIL,  IT GOES TO VERIZON WIRELESS SIGN-IN PAGE.
    I DO NOT EVEN HAVE VERIZON WIRELESS.
    WHY IS THIS PROGRAMMING PROBLEM STILL NOT FIXED, THIS IS "UNACCEPTABLE" WE PAY OUR BILLS ON TIME FOR A SERVICE THAT IS NOT BEING PROVIDED FOR OVER "2" WEEKS.
    I HAVE CALLED CUSTOMER SUPPORT THEY WENT INTO MY EMAIL CHANGED PASSWORD, ETC.  THEY CANNOT EVEN FIX THIS PROGRAMMING ERROR.
    I FEEL LIKE OUR SECURITY PROGRAMMING ISSUES ARE BEING IGNORED. THIS IS A VERIZON PROGRAMMING ERROR ISSUE.  WHEN VERIZON TRIED TO CHANGE THE SECURITY SIGN-IN PAGE PROGRAM IT NOW GOES TO VERIZON WIRELESS SIGN-IN PAGE.
    I GUESS THE ONLY WAY TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED IS TO "WITHHOLD" OUR MONTHLY FEE FOR THE INTERNET PART OF OUR FIOS TRIPLE PLAY SERVICE.
    VERIZON I LOVED YOUR SERVICE, HAVE BEEN A FAITHFUL CUSTOMER FOR YEARS, BUT MY PATIENCE IS WEARING OUT.
    THE WEBMAIL IS WORTHLESS IF WE CANNOT ACCESS AND USE IT.
    PLEASE GET THIS ISSUED RESOLVED ASAP!

    Indeed, your way works also.  It would make sense my way doesn't work for you if you seperated your forum from your main account.  Ironically, I have other sub accounts that have no issues login in to the verizon.net site.  It is just the primary account.

  • Why can't I print a 3 page pdf document?

    I have an HP Laserjet P1102W. I am trying to print a 3 page pdf document. The print preview looks correct but when I go to print it prints a blank first page. The second page prints correctly but the 3rd page won't print at all and I get a error light on the printer. I think it might have something to do with the spooler settings but I don't knowthat much about it. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Hey hoganhead!
    I'd recommend taking a look at this article:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02726548&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&lc=en&product=411...
    This links to a diagnostic utility supplied by HP to test the printer for issues.
    Pending the results, I'd love to get more info regarding the issue such as the error lights and what they look like.
    Hope this helps!

  • How do i change a 2 page pdf document, to be a 4 page flyer..

    hi
    ill try to explain this as clearly as i can.
    i have got a 2 page pdf document, that has data on both sides.
    i need it to be 4 A5 pages at the front and back, so it folds neatly together.
    so currently it prints like an duplex A4 page, and i just wondering how i can change it to be more like the flyer i have in mind.
    hope that makes sense..
    Im using acrobat 9 pro
    Thanks

    You may have to crop pages to get the effect that you want. If you have the original, it would probably be easier to edit that and create a new PDF.

  • Editing a multi-page .pdf document

    Running PSE9 under Mac OS X Mavericks.
    I have a 49-page document as a single .pdf file.  I'm looking for the easiest way to:
    - Select all the pages so that I can edit any one or more pages in the file.
    - After editing, I want to save the entire file to a new file similar to the original, keeping the original as a "version".
    I've tried working with this, and I get hampered with the individual pages acting like separate files.

    I am also looking for feedback.  Although having a PDF copy of a document is wonderful, long term and efficient archival for my workplace is tif or tiff.
    Very frustrating that the PDF to tiff creates a separate tiff file for each page of the multi-page PDF document.  Are there any options or work-arounds?

  • I have a large number of PDFs documents stored on a windows pcthat I would like to access on my iPad mini even when not cBooking referenceonnected to a network.

    i have a large number of PDFs documents stored on a windows pc that I would like to access on my iPad mini even when not connected  to a network. Does anyone know a solution. Eg maybe card reader and a app.

    Those devices have mixed results depending on the application. If the application does not support the device, then you are out of luck. There is no file manager in IOS to allow you to move files between folders because there are no folders that you can access. An app has to specifically support a storage location to access files.
    It's not that bad. The app has to have the ability to accept data from another app.  The latest memory dongles come with an ios app to access the external storage.  You then transfer the pdf from dongle's app to your app.  If your app can accept data from dropbox, it will be able to accept data from the memory dongle app.

    Hi Sonia,
    While transferring Adobe from laptop to PC the licensing files got corrupt and the right way to use Adobe Applications is to install first as transferring from a different machine can give you problems.
    You can try steps from this article if that helps otherwise you have to reinstall and manually delete some files , everything is mentioned.

  • Safari 7.0.6, using Adobe Acrobat 11.0.10, aren't rendering pdf files in the Print Preview screen.  Additionally, only a single, blank page prints for a multi-page pdf document.  Any ideas?

    Safari 7.0.6, using Adobe Acrobat 11.0.10, isn't rendering pdf files in the Print Preview screen.  Additionally, only a single, blank page prints for a multi-page pdf document.  Any ideas?

    Figured it out.  It had nothing to do with the software levels of Safari or Adobe Acrobat.  Here's the fix:
    Open Finder/Applications
    Search "Internet Plug-Ins"
    Move any Adobe plug-ins to the trash
    Quit Safari
    Launch Safari
    Your pdf document should now render in Print Preview and print properly.

  • Acrobat cannot open files in the "Adobe PDF document" format

    The document “example.pdf” could not be opened. Acrobat cannot open files in the “Adobe PDF document” format.
    Hi All,
    Running Acrobat Pro 9.4.2 on Snow Leopard, have never had this problem before. Showed up about a week ago, I believe with new update. Can't double click on a file in Finder, or drag and drop to AcrobatPro in Dock, but can open from within Acrobat Pro / File / Open command.
    All my preferences are correct with "Open With Acrobat Pro" as the default.
    I've read all the threads I can find with no answers yet.
    Anyone found and answer, I see a lot of us are going through this over the last year.
    Only possible common thread I have found is possibly HP printers. But I've been running HP printers all along with no issues.
    Thanks for you input.

    Moved to Acrobat Installation & Update Issues
    Either Acrobat needs to be re-installed or the file is named as a pdf file, but it is not a pdf file. Try opening the pdf file in a text editor and read off what the first line of the file is.

    I have a PC desktop and an iPad.  I have a large library of PDF documents on my desktop that I would like to sync with my iPad.  I would like to be able to download new PDF's and make edits on existing PDF's on either device and have those edits and new PDFs synced to the other device.  I would also like to have my library available on the iPad even if there isn't a wifi connection (i.e., not on the cloud).  Is that possible.  I don't mind if I have to purchase a separate product or a product upgrade ect.

    You can't use an external hard drive like you would with a computer.
    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
    When you first connect the USB flash drive, you will only see thumbnails of the pics on the iPad; you have to import the pic file to see the full size. With your large library of pics, you will have to do this repeateably and then delete pics so you don't exceed your memory capacity.
