I converted a PDF to Word but can't edit - why?

Has anyone had a problem editing after they exported a PDF
into word? It opens in word but the picture editor comes up when i
try to double click on the document. I can't select text, delete or
type anything.

  • I am trying to convert a pdf to word but it fails and asks me to purchase adobe export

    The file you are trying to access could not be found. The file may have been deleted or moved in another session.  I keep getting this error message although I can open the pdf file

    Hi asjoseph,
    It sounds like you're reporting two different problems--is that correct? One, that you're unable to convert using ExportPDF, and another that you're trying to open or convert PDF? Is that correct?
    For the first issue, make sure that you're signed in to the ExportPDF service. You can log in directly at cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf.
    For the second part of your question, please tell me a bit more about where that error is occurring, and what steps you're taking before the error appears.
    I look forward to hearing back from you.

    Hi lydc,
    I was able to find an active account for you using the email address that you've used here in the forums. So, you may just need to reset your password. Here are the instructions for that: Adobe ID, sign in, and account help

  • I have converted a pdf to word. How can I access the Word file from my online account?

    I have converted a pdf to word. How can I access the Word file from my online account? When it says 'download the converted file' I choose a location on my PC and click, but nothing happens. It seems that it can only save the converted file to my online account. I went to my online account but I see no way to look for the file

    Hey Fabrizio,
    You might need to sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf" using your Adobe ID credentials to convert your PDF file to Word.
    Do you get the 'download' prompt?
    Also, you can find the converted files by clicking at the 'Files' tab. 
    Please try the same using a different browser and check.
    Hope to hear from you.

    In MAC, I want to change document size from 8.5X11 to 18X24 to create a poster to print through Staples. I created the doc originally in WORD, changed the size in WORD, converted to PDF doc. But PDF doc is still in 8.5X11. Read ADOBE support help info. Terls me to change size in application rather than printer. BUT ACROBAT Pro does not give me a page set up option in FILE. I can only find one in the printer dialog box. Help!

    from the FAQs on Staples website:
    I have a file that I know is a PDF, but the website claims it is not in a PDF format. What should I do?
    Check to see that the file has the .PDF extension. Also, check that the filename does not have any special characters such as an ampersand (“&”).
    Regarding your measurements set to centimeters rather than inches; is it just in MS Word?
    Or does it occur in all other applications.
    Check your Work preferences first:
    If it is happening in all your applications, check your Mac OS System Preferences.

    Hi Sara
    From the document
            When I try the file save as other, nothing happens after I click on Word or Excel Online.
            There is no way I can click on the convert button on Export PDF.
            I am logged in as you can see.                                                                               
            When I go to Cloud Acrobat I can see the file there but only as a PDF.
            There is no word document there.
            As you can see I have tried this more than once.
    I just don’t know what to do from there.
    Hope you can help
    Many thanks

  • Can't convert to pdf from word

    my wife uses adobe acrobat 6.0 standard with office 2003. The problem is that she can't convert to pdf from word. it works fine with an excel doc. but not a word. I did update to 6.0.1 and still nothing. There is no error message and the word document opens but nothing happens.

    I have exactly the same problem. Everything was ok untill a couple of months ago then after some auto updates the pdf buttons were no longer displayed in the word documents when it is open and if you try to convert it to pdf either by dragging the word file onto Adobe or highlighting the file and right clicking on it then selecting 'convert to Adobe PDF' it doesn't work. It looks like it attempts to do it by opening the word document but then nothing else happens. The only way I have been able to get it to convert to pdf is to go into the word document, click on file then print then select Adobe PDF then save to location. This is just a complete pain to do all the time especially when I need to convert a whole load of files in one go.
    Obviously the auto updates have effected it somehow but I can't work out where.
    I've tried uninstalling Adobe the re-installing it but it makes no difference.
    I'm using Acrobat 6.0 Standard with Windows XP Professional 2002

  • I just paid to be able to convert pdf to word but get the message password protected.

    I have just paid to be able to convert pdf to word but get the message file is password protected. Have I wasted my money or is there a solution?

    This suggests that the file itself is protected, and the person who made it did not want it converted.
    You can check this in Adobe Reader by using File > Properties and looking under Securty. What does it show? (Screen shot wouldn't hurt).

                   I converted a pdf to word and when it opens in word it looks fine but in a few seconds it converts to multiple spelling errors ?

    Hi Jim,
    I just responded directly. Unfortunately the original PDF is from an old fax or scan. The random ink marks and blotches along with the runny font won't transfer the proper information from PDF to Word. The only thing I can recommend is to re-create the doc so you have a clean copy. As I offered - if you need a PDF of it after you have completed - I'd be happy to do that for you.
    Kind regards, Stacy

  • Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically?   I've tried PDF and Word, but worked only in Mail.  Lost formatting when just copied and pasted in email.

    Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically?   I've tried PDF and Word, but PDF worked only in Mail.  Word worked in nothing.  I also tried copying and pasting the document but lost all formatting when just copied and pasted in email.  Is there a way to do this?

    Are you sure PDF won't work? It should as what you're trying to do is pretty much what it is designed for (PDF - Portable Document Format). On a Mac anywone who receives the file should be able to see it in all its page layout glory by using the app Preview or Adobe Reader. Same on a PC, the file should be viewable as a PDF file using Adobe Reader and probably some other viewer (don't use PCs so not sure what other apps).
    What application are you creating the file in and are you sure you're exporting it correctly in PDF format, fonts and images embedded?
