I converted my resume from PDF to word, now how do I edit the spacing as I add information?

This is not functioning like a word file.  I upgraded because I needed to add a couple dates to my resume, as well as one job, but when I did the formatting and margins are funky and I cannot add portions to the document.  What do I do?

Hi beth.elizabeth,
So, in looking at your account, I see that you have an ExportPDF subscription. Did you do your conversion from the ExportPDF website, or from within Reader? And, how was the original PDF created (from a file, scanned?). The quality of your conversion is directly related to the quality of the original file.
That said, for starters, try triple-clicking in the Word file. Are you able to select the text? If not, it could be that the PDF was image-only, and was converted as an image. By default, ExportPDF should convert image text to selectable text, but you can disable that option in Reader.
If you'd like, you can message me directly, and I'd be happy to look at your file.
Best,
Sara

  • 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.

  • When I converted a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How can I solve this problem?

    When I tried to convert a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How do I solve this problem?  I don't know how to change it from Read Only.

    Dear Sara
    Thank you very much for sending the converted file.  Yes, I am able to edit it - that will be very useful to me and I appreciate your help.
    Referring to your previous message when you said you'd converted via Acrobat and not Acrobat.com, I'm converting via Acrobat.com because that's the only option that is shown (how do I convert via Acrobat? - perhaps that would be more successful).  I'm using the Export PDF website, and the OCR is enabled to "Recognize text in English UK".  However, I've just tried converting a different LPA pdf form, this time for Health & Welfare https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/245571/LPA114_He alth_welfare_LPA.pdf and again I have the same problem as before.  I've altered it from "Read only" and thought I'd then be able to enter text, but "Drawing Tools" is shown in the pane and I'm unable to enter anything onto the form - everything appears to be in images.  Also, the lettering on the heading of' page 1 has become jumbled, with the word "Public" overlaying the word "Guardian."  Any suggestions as to what it is I'm doing wrong would be welcome - I don't like to be beaten!
    Regards,

    I paid to convert a file from pdf to Word and it is unintelligible. Why ?

    Hi M & B P,
    Please give the following a try:
    If you're converting via the ExportPDF website, log out, clear the cache, and then log back in.
    If you're converting from within Reader, choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version.
    Please let us know how it goes. If you're still having problems, please let us know how you're converting, what browser you're using, and whether you're on Mac OS and Windows. We'll do some deeper digging if need be.

    What you are trying to do is upload a file to a server not download. Depending on the mechanism that the server uses an alternate browser like iCab may be able to do this.

  • Help!  I have converted a file from pdf to docx.  Now, how do I edit the document??

    So, How can I move my newly transformed docx into Word so I can edit it???

    Hi Janet,
    Welcome!
    Here is a handy 'getting started' guide that may be of help. Also sometimes the coversion from PDF to docx will cause an 'image'. Clicking on the center will release the information for editing as well.
    Please let me know if this helps!
    Looking forward to hearing back from you.

    Good day,
    To use the ExportPDF service, simply visit http://exportpdf.acrobat.com and click 'Sign in' at the top right corner.  Enter your Adobe ID (email address) credentials to log into the service.  As ExportPDF is web-based, you simply utilize the tool through your web browser.  After you're logged in, you should see the ExportPDF interface, with a button saying 'Select PDF file..' to get the process started.
    Please let us know if you have any questions.

  • How do I convert from pdf to word? I see an option to do so, however, when I click on it, Ia box opens...

    when I try to convert from pdf to word, a box opens and suggests I am to click on (select) the file I want to convert. It sounds all well but it does not work. I really really just want my files back in word, all of them, no matter, because after having to reinstall windows 7 (done by techs) and me having to re-download all my HP drivers, and tools, and other software, which I imagine included adobe reader, now I see some pdf files won't open. It says, "access denied" and boy that really makes me wantt o scream. I am the ONLY user, it is my notebook, I am the administrator so I can't figure out why some files open and some don't. I can't ascertain any difference.
    I would be grateful for any help. This has become just too exhausting. After reinstalling sooooooooo much, then to have to go through this with what is a free application? I say I think not.
    This should NEVER happen with any free application and boy there is NO help to be found. They blow you off the phone fast telling you it's a free application. Then why are you putting in this kind of  stuff that it won't open? This is NOT a shared notebook, it's mine. I am the only user, personal use.
    HP probook, if anyone needs that info.
    Please, will someone help?
    I would be so grateful.
    thanks,
    Gina

    Gee, Pat, this is a  real big help.
    Nobody could possibly think anyone would ask for help without first trying to fix the issue oneself. Or maybe you do. I have opened the file and looked under security. I have changed it to owner-notebook (which is what the techs called me) and clicked accept but geepers it didn't work.
    Maybe someone else has an idea.
    Take Ownership of a File or Folder
    The above should be a link. At least I copied and pasted the link. I did what was stated in there. It isn't like brain surgery. But it is not working. I ended up being able to open some pdf files after transferring them from one partition category to another. I wish it was that easy as you seem to think.
    Thanks for the help. Have a great year.
