I thought Firefox automatically converted docx files to Word. Nope.

When opening script attachments from my audition site, when I come on a .docx file, I have to have it converted to Word so I can print it out...and I thought F'fox did that automatically. I'm using Windows 7. I need something that will automatically or easily change .docx into Word or text. Any help? Thanks.

Hi,
For Firefox to recognize formats other than those related to web pages, you would have to install the plugin for the particular format. For previous Office versions, please see [http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=27106 this]. If MS Office is not installed on the system, installing [https://www.libreoffice.org/ LibreOffice] may also help to open Office formats directly. The installed plugins would be listed in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' > '''Plugins'''.

  • How do I convert docx files to doc files when sending to a non-apple user?

    When I send files as attachments they crash the computer of a colleague.  He thinks that if I convert them to .doc documents his computer won't crash, but my apple doesn't seem to provide that option.  Any ideas?

    Microsoft Word files are cross-platform, so if your colleague has Word installed he should be able to read them, unless his version predates the introduction of docx, which seems to be the case.
    When docx was introduced, Microsoft provided a converter for Word 2004 that enabled users to read docx files from Word 2008 (the first version to use them). Possibly they did the same for the Windows version.

  • Converting .pdf files to Word in Pro v9 for Mac

    I have just purchased a copy of Acrobat Pro v9 for Mac with the idea of converting .pdf files to word documents in the correct format and for editing.  When I attempt to export a .pdf file to Word (2008) or save as a Word doc or docx file, the file doesn't open and my Word program freezes.  To unfreeze, I need for force quit Word and begin again.  I was told that pdf to word could be done in this version of Acrobat.  Has anyone had this experience?

    What type Document, was it to begin with? (Text/Image)
    If the PDF was a Text document, you should be able to with no problem?
    IF text based and converted, try opening word first then open the document.
    There is a format that Word will read called RTF (Rich Text File), that Word can read.
    Try converting to RTF then try opening. When opened then save as DOC or DOCX
    If it was created from a scan, Word my not open it, because it is an image (a Big Picture).
    Finally, if it has a lot of images, they may not do right, and may cause a lot of  problems.

  • I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

    I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

    The application Acrobat provides no language translation capability.
    If you localize the language for OS, MS Office applications, Acrobat, etc to the desired language try again.
    Alternative: transfer a copy of content into a web based translation service (Bing or Google provides a free service).
    Transfer the output into a word processing program that is localized to the appropriate language.
    Do cleanup.
    Be well...

  • Hi I have downloaded Acrobat XI Pro and when I try to convert pdf file to word the message says 'error can't sign in'

    Hi Irenedix,
    If you are using Acrobat you can try the suggestions mentioned above.
    Are you using the Create PDF service from within Reader to create pdf?
    If yes then please check if you are able to login to: https://cloud.acrobat.com/convertpdf  with your Adobe ID and able to convert the document to pdf.
    If yes then within Reader you can try the following:
    Choose Edit > Preferences (Win)
    Click 'Online Services' or 'Adobe Online Services' on the left-hand side
    Sign out of your Adobe ID and sign back in.
    Regards,

  • I have acrobat 11 standard is it possible to convert pdf files to word files ?

    I have acrobat 11 standard is it possible to convert pdf files to word files ? or is it just possible in the Pro version.

    It sounds to me like you're using Reader, not Acrobat. Make sure you open
    the PDF file in Acrobat, and then go to File - Save As Other - Microsoft
    Word.

  • Cannot convert pdf file to Word using Adobe ExportPDF online...I get a timeout error after a wait of about 15 minutes

    Oh...BTW...I am using Windows 7 with Chrome browser and I disabled text recognition.  The file is 3.7 MB.  It says it failed because it is taking too long to process however the Adobe export PDF notes that it can convert unlimited files to Word or Excel files.  Anything else I can try?  I exported it to Adobe.com and tried toconvert it there but it looks like the same process...and with the same result.

    Hi there,
    It sounds like there may be an issue with the quality of the PDF. Not all PDFs are created equal, and especially those created from scanned documents can be problematic if the scan quality isn't the best. Is there a dark background on the PDF, or stray marks or smudges?
    You can try converting with OCR disabled at outlined in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community. But, while that's a good test to find out where the problem lies, you'll end up with a Word document that isn't editable, so it's not an optimal solution.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Unable to convert PDF file into word document

    I just signed up with Adobe in order to convert a PDF file into a word document and it continues to fail.  Any suggestions.

    If you have adobe X, simply go to "File" -> "Save-As" and Microsoft Word is an option. Also, there is a download (paid) called Able2Extract that will allow you to convert pdfs to word, excel, etc. but the formatting is often lost. If you get the premium package, you can even convert scanned documents. I've used Adobe X to do the conversion, and it retains headers, footers and all formatting.
    And i personally share you with a article about how to converting PDF files to Word(.doc), you just need to follow the easy guide.
    Hope it can help you a lot.
