I'm trying to convert a pdf to doc for mac and I have already downloaded acrobat 11?

I just downloaded and installed acrobat 11 for my mac. Trying to convert a pdf to a doc but can't figure it out. The pdf I am trying to convert says I need acrobat 9 and is not letting me. Any ideas what I can do?

Yes, it is Acrobat Pro 11.
Just a pdf
It is saying this "This document does not allow you to save any changes you have made to it unless you are using Adobe Acrobat 9, Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, or Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9. You will only be saving a copy of the original document. Do you want to continue?"

Im trying to convert a PDF into an excel document and I keep getting an error message that reads "An error has occurred while trying to access the service". WHat am I doing wrong?

it seems my subscription had expired so I signed up again.. It was still having trouble so I repeated the sign up process again.. Then it worked perfectly.. Unfortunately, I think I just subscribed twice and need to cancel one of them. Ugh. Such a pain when I'm trying to get this project completed. I'll be canceling at least one of the subscriptions in the morning. Adobe is not my favorite company right now. None of this was intuitive. And trying to get help was an absolute waste of an hour.

I have the new macbook pro with retina and I am trying to back up with wd passport for mac and is telling me it is going to take 7days

I have the new macbook pro with retina and I am trying to back it up, with wd passport for mac and is telling me it is going to take 7days. Any Ideas? Im afraid that means there is something wrong with my hard drive. I have verified the disk and it says everthing is ok.

It seems to be a common problem that those drives don't perform well, at least not with Time Machine.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message. Clear the text field and scroll back in the log to that time. Post the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Some personal information, such as the names of your files, may be included — edit that out, too, but don’t remove the context.

I have paid for Adobe Acrobat XI Pro OCR but it will not recognise a letter in the serial number for me to update my adobe account and any of the programs I have tried using to convert a PDF file on a Mac to a word doc it is converting file with funny sym

I have been supplied info in an email to copy and paste for a new product purchase "Adobe Acrobat XI Pro OCR" but am unsure how and where to copy and paste to. There is also a link below the serial number. I have tried entering serial number into my Adobe ID but it is not recognising one of the letters in the 24 Digit serial number??? Also I have tried other products previously downloaded to convert a 7 page PDF file on my Mac and convert it to a Word doc but everything I have tried is converting the file to display some text correctly but also displays random symbols and fonts in place of the handwritten info filled in on the form... also getting blank pages included instead of the info??? Would appreciate some help... I am older generation and not always tech savvy, and it is doing my head in haha.

Hi Jock,
I've checked your account, and all is well there. Please make sure that you're logging in with the same Adobe ID/password that you used when you signed up.
Then, clear the browser cache, and try logging in directly to https://cloud.acrobat.com.
Please let us know how it goes.

Trying to convert a pdf to an excel file

whilst trying to convert a pdf file to editteble excel a window popped up saying an error occurred while trying to access the service....

Reader cannot convert files to PDF (this is the Reader forum).
You'll want to ask in a forum for the software you are using to convert (could be ADobe Acrobat or could be Microsoft Excel's built in convertor).

Trying to convert a PDF to Word all it says is "An error occurred while signing in". I am signed in though?

Hi rus-tee,
That's interesting--what are you using to convert your file to PDF? Are you using Word? Or are you using the Adobe PDF Pack online service. Please describe your process for converting to PDF, and we'll get to the bottom of this!

I am trying to convert a PDF to a Word document using Acrobat Pro 9 but am unable to find "Content to edit" under tools. Do I need a newer version?

I am trying to convert a PDF to a Word document using Acrobat Pro 9 but am unable to find "Content to edit" under tools. Do I need a newer version?

Acrobat 9 Pro (not Standard) can export ("convert") PDF to Word, RTF, or other text formats.
Click-path: File - Export
Take your pick.
With install of Acrobat 9 the Help PDF is installed also.
From the this PDF's Bookmarks expand Chapter 5's bookmark and select "Convert PDFs to Word".
Be well...

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
Kaye

When trying to convert a pdf file into a word doc, i only get the graphics but not the text. How do i remedy this?

When trying to convert a pdf file into a word doc I only get graphics but no text. What to do?

Hey hamsa142,
I think you are converting a scanned PDF to word.
You might need to run OCR first to make the text recognizable and then convert it to word.

PDF corrupted when trying to convert to PDF

I have a problem converting a file to PDF from WORD 2007.
The whole thing becomes corrupted, including: change in orientation of pages, omission of page numbers, corruption of tables...
This happens when printing to PDF, saving as PDF, trying to convert to PDF outside WORD or using an online system... When using another converter (the one that comes with my Windows System), the file is still corrupt, just slightly less so.
I think it must be a problem with the file as it doesn't happen when I try to convert other documents - but how to identify and eliminate that problem in the file? I tried to copy over to a different document, but that did not work either.
One strange thing is also that once I ask WORD to print to PDF, it actually also changes the WORD file, with changing the orientation of the first pages etc. and the numbering of tables and figures.
Urgent help required, as this is actually a scientific paper I need to resubmit today!!
Many thanks!

This sounds like a Word issue - simply formatting for printing is doing bad things to your file. Is it possible this is just the normal reflow Word does, and you are not set up to expect it? Expect line breaks to change, and hence text to move between pages.
You may need to select the Adobe PDF printer as your default and "fix" the word document.
The page numbers - are they automatic or typed manually?

I am trying to convert a PDF into a document that can be edited - it's a client feedback form. I am using Adobe forms Central and it's saying that it can't use my document.

Hi Michelle ,
We are extremely sorry that you have had a bad experience with Adobe .
As far as your issue is concerned ,Acrobat generally prompts for internet connection as it is required to activate the product before you could use it comfortably .Once the product is activated or licensed you would be able to use the software offline .
This could be the possible reason you are experiencing this .Please check if you have done so and still facing this .And if you have not ,you need to license/activate your product by typing in your credentials ,i.e Adobe ID and password .
You could also refer the following link to get updated about the activation of your product .

I am trying to convert a pdf file from the Government Website.

I am trying to convert a pdf file from the government site, it is a divorce petition item d008-eng.docx. Whenever I do the transcript is all over the place. Any suggestions?
I have only bought the software to do this one thing and it failed.

If you use Reader XI you should be able to save it. You should also be able to save the form with Acrobat. However, the form name you gave is a docx file, not a PDF. So it is not clear what you are asking. If it were a PDF form as I would have expected, your questions would have made more sense.
Did you buy Acrobat? If so, are you trying to convert to docx or what. I really do not understand your question. I did find an 8 page PDF of the form (assume it is the same). If you have Acrobat, just start filling it out and save at any stage. I do not see any need to convert it to docx. There are no restrictions on the form for saving or such, so I do not see why you say you can not save your input. If you bought Reader, you got ripped off. If you bought Acrobat there should be no issues with saving. If you use Reader XI there should also be no issues with saving the PDF. So, I do not see the point of your question, sorry.

I'm trying to convert a pdf to doc for mac and I have already downloaded acrobat 11?
