I've created a Word document from a pdf file. How do i make it editable?

Hi Kaz1,
The Word document should be editable after the conversion is complete. What happens when you try to edit it?
Thanks,
David

How to edit a converted Word Document from a PDF file

how to edit a converted Word Document from a PDF file

Hi Edit Converted Word Doc,
What's happening when you try to edit the file? Have you tried triple-clicking in the text block that you want to edit?
Please let us know what sort of trouble you're running into. It would also be helpful to know how the PDF file was created, and what version of Word you're using.
Best,
Sara

In acrobat 9 why can it never create a word document from a pdf correctly?

So I have acrobat 9 and because I have lots of issues with editing PDFs in it I occasionally need to convert the pdf into a word to help with the editing. However it never even comes remotely close to converting it correctly. I mean it is not even close. and the PDF are very simple, no graphs no pics just text. Very frustrating/.

GIGO.
If the PDF's "under the hood" build is good then good stuff is exported.
If the PDF's "under the hood" build is garbage then garbage is exported.
Using a PDF creation process that actually has full compliance with the ISO Standard for PDF (ISO 32000-1) is a prerequisite for "Good stuff In".
Some (but not most) PDF producers do this. Adobe's "do it".
As well if such a PDF is a well-formed Tagged PDF then export is pleasingly good.
The design function of "Tagged" PDF is two-fold.
(1) Support Accessible PDF
(2) Support export of PDF page content.
Such export can be achieved by Acrobat 8 Pro, Acrobat 3D, Acrobat 9 Pro, Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, Acrobat X Pro and Acrobat XI Pro.
Have done it / do it with these.
Not meaning to be unpleasant here but the problem is with the PDF you have and not Acrobat.
Be well...

HT1338 why is it that when emailing a word document or a pdf file the recipient receives an unreadable file from me?

Change a Word Document to A PDF File

How Do I turn a word document into a PDF File?

You can use Adobe PDF Pack or Adobe Acrobat to create PDF files from other file types (such as Word or Excel).
There is no PDF-creation feature in Workspaces.

Creating an InDesign document from a PDF template

I am creating an InDesign doc from a PDF template. How exactly do I go about getting the pdf template into InDesign? I don't know if I chose
the correct option, but I created my doc in InDesign and then placed the pdf template into the doc? Is this correct? If not, any advice would be very helpful!
Thanks.

Actually, I'm not quite sure, from your description, what you're trying to do. If someone gave me an English PDF and told me to recreate it it into an InDesign document, I'd start by doing exactly what you did - I'd place it in InDesign. So, now the PDF is in InDesign, as an image that you can't edit. This is really helpful if you have to recreate a PDF perfectly in InDesign - you can know exactly where everything is, and place each new bit exactly where it is in the PDF.
If someone is expecting you to add stuff to that PDF template, you can place it on top of the PDF in InDesign.
If someone is expecting you to manipulate, change, revise, or otherwise actually touch the objects in the PDF template, they don't know what they're doing - PDF is a storage format, and it's not really easy (or even reliably possible) to edit things in PDFs.
Does that make any sense? Please ask some more questions if this isn't clear.

Create MS Word documents from data in an Apex Form/Report

My requirement is to create editable RTF form letters from data managed by an Apex application. I do not have BI publisher available and am looking at using the XSL-FO route. Effectively I want the user to select the desired data in the Apex application, hit a button and be presented with a word document containing the data, which they can then customise.
I know how to set Apex up to create PDFs based on reports using embedded XSL-FO but PDFs are not editable extra steps by the user. Also the user could export data to CSV and mailmerge with a word template but thats extra work for the user too.
In the past I've used PLSQL/XML/XSL-FO with .NET to do what I want here by generating an XML file with PLSQL and using .NET to associate the XML file to XSLT/XSL-FO template files creating output as varied as .doc, .ps and .html files.
Any ideas on acheving the same flexibility with Apex would be greatly appreciated. As my googling and forum hunting has not turned up much.
Thanks

Hi FunkyMonkey,
Do you know Docufy | Simplify with docufy ? It's an APEX application that lets you create/generate/edit word templates. Else JasperReports Library | Free software downloads at SourceForge.net lets you generate a multitude of report formats (RTF/pdf/docx/xlsx/xml/etc.) you can use iReports to easily create xml templates for the reports, It's a lot simpler then xsl-fo.

When I save a Word document as a PDF file and open it, some of the boxes around the text don't show

Hello,
I currently have Abobe Reader X (10.1.2) on Windows 7 and I need to save a Word document currently in A3 as a PDF file to print in A4. For some documents I have no problem printing and all of the text, images, boxes, lines etc. all show up no problem, except for 2 documents where there is a problem. The document fits onto the screen perfectly.
Please help! Thanks

Reader is unable to create PDF files. You must be using some other product, and therefore should post your question in that product's forums.

Converting a word document to a pdf file

I know how to convert a pages document to a pdf but not a word one

If you're using Word on OS X, then you just go File->Print. Then in the Print dialog, there's a button in the lower-left that says "Save to PDF". This can be done in any application on OS X.

Why can´t I save a Word Document into a PDF File?

I used to write a document in word and then save it as a PDF, now I can´t why? Please give me a clue

Make sure you are using Acrobat and not the free Adobe Reader
If Acrobat is installed, but Word does not include the PDF addons, then run a reinstall/repair of word

Create/Edit Word documents from Form 6 in the web

How can I create/edit Microsoft Word documents from a form running under IAS.
In client/server I can do it using OLE2.

On the Web the OLE2 option would still work if your Forms server is on a windows machine with word on it. The files will be created on the server and you can get them to the client with the web.show_document built-in.
If you want to create them on the client machine directly you need a Java bean that will activate the COM interface.
