Is there a Mac Application that exactly copies PDF documents into Word?

Hello,
I work at a University and acquire electronic texts for students with disabilities from publishers. They come in a PDF format where the images on the screen can be highlighted with the mouse. Sometimes I have students who require documents in Word format as they use Jaws software and I am currently using a PC and use Abbyy PDF Transformer or SolidConverter PDF to transform PDF's into Word.
I just got a Mac for my office and am transferring over my files etc. I plan on using Parallels in order to use the PC versions I currently have. Is there a good Mac equivalent out there that works well?
I've installed Adobe Pro 9 on my Mac for splitting PDF's etc. and it has an Export to Word function but I haven't been able to get it to work properly. Are there any free Mac programs that will convert a PDF to Word successfully?
At work I'm on a 21.5" iMac the base model.

Yeah this isn't my questions but I thought I'd ask you my questions since you seem to know what your doing an I dont have time to call Apple. Wanna just read the jist of it all? Read the bold, italic, and underlined peice.
I'm 14, Im failing geography, so I typed a AMAZING, mind bobbling, GOLDEN essay, if you will, with tons of extra crazy information, I started my essay at midnight, I used every single adjective in the paper in the thesaurus to make it sound like I'm a 30 year old college english professor, the essay was brilliant! I finished roughly around 4 in the morning, I didnt save it because I had one last finishing touch, the title! I couldnt think of the title so +_*i went to yahoo answers to ask for suggestions and then i opened up my dashboard to use the dictionary/thesaurus widget, but the movie widget was all covering it up so I went to edit my widgets to move the movie widget and then my dashboard froze. My Microsoft Word for Mac document was on the page underneath the safari page, then the dashboard is open. I can move my mouse around, and can even click someparts of the safari page in the back but the widgets wont go away and its not more frozen than ever, I tried commandaltesc for force quit but then I would have lost my document that I didnt save, besides i couldnt even click the "force quit" button because a widget was in the way!! I even tried to command+Q to quit the safari page so I could TRY to save the Doc from behind the dashboard but I didnt work. But when I plugged in my ipod,(hoping that itunes and iphoto would open normally and wake up the screen) but only iphoto opened up and command+Q worked on that but not for safari! Please, please, PLEASE tell me there is a way to unfreeze my computer and not close my word application, or if i have to close it out can I recover my essay or most of it at least??*_+

Is there a Mac app that can do the same as DriveSort does for Windows?

I am considering moving from Windows to Mac, but first, I need to make sure that I can still do all I need to do in the Mac world as I do with Windows today.
One question, I can't seem to answer is a silly one, but important to me.
I keep my music in my car on a flash drive with 700+ songs on it. However, since the flash drive is formated in FAT, it sorts the music by the order the computer decided to save them in.
To fix the order, I use DriveSort (http://www.anerty.net/software/file/DriveSort.php) but it only runs in Windows.
Is there a Mac application that does the same? I don't care if it is free or not.
Thanks.

It's not a question of how you can sort in the Mac. It's a matter of how it writes files to a FAT based flash drive. The cars stereo will sort the flash drive by the order the files were written in and not by any order the OS has sorted it. This is the same in Windows and Mac, so a utility to "sort" the flash drive. DriveSort does this perfectly, but they don't have a Mac version. I'm looking for a Mac version of this type of software. Surely someone in the Mac world must have run into this flash drive problem and found a fix......

I have purchased an IMac and I am trying to download CS6 to it. It is downloading but keeps stalling. I pulled up my downloads and it tells me that "There is no application set to open the document Photoshop_13_LS16.dmg.port."?

I am trying to download CS6 to my IMac. The download will almost complete but then it stalls. When I pull up the downloads it is giving me the explanation that "There is no application set to open the document "Photoshop_13_LS16.dmg.part."?

that's a partial download. delete it.
use a different connect (you can transfer to your imac on an usb stick, eg), use a different browser and/or use a download manager.
also,
if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: Download Adobe CS6 Trials: Direct Links (no Assistant or Manager) | ProDesignTools
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

I am in the process of doing a Proof Of Concept / Evaluating products that can help us build a Java Application to Convert a PDF document to a Searchable PDF.
I wanted to check is there any simple JAVA API from Adobe to achive this ? Any direction in this regard is greatly appreciated.@

You can achieve this using LiveCycle PDF Generator JAVA API. You can find required code here:
Adobe LiveCycle * Quick Start (SOAP mode): Converting a Microsoft Word document to a PDF document using the Java API
In parameters:
//Set createPDF2 parameter values
String adobePDFSettings = "Standard";
String securitySettings = "No Security";
String fileTypeSettings = "Standard OCR";
"Standard OCR" file type setting will run OCR on input pdf. In the code, instead of doc file provide a pdf file. Resultant pdf will be searchable PDF i.e OCRed PDF.
Feel feel to ask any further questions.

Application Errors - There is no application set to open the document app name

My mac (Mac Book Air, running OS X 10.9.5) got corrupted somehow, so I took it to a local authorised apple shop. They advised that I delete it and wipe the hard drive and re-partition it. I *think* I did this successfully. However, a number of my apps iPhoto, Keynote etc will no longer open. I get the error message in the title - There is no application set to open the document <whatever app I'm trying to open>.
Please help? I don't have too much on my mac yet as I'm a new user, so could start the process of wiping again if that's the safest way to get back to a known good point.
many thanks in advance!

Hmmm. Haven't used a Mac very long, have you?
OK, let's give this a try:
Per previous post get to the Open With panel.
From the dropdown menu select Other.
You should see a File Open dialog like below:
Navigate to the desired location:
Note that on your machine the hard drive is probably named, Macintosh HD, instead of Test Bed as you see above.
After you have selected the Installer click on the Add button.

Help. How do I change the page size of a pdf in MAC? I have multiple pdf documents in varying sizes I would like to combine and print.

.dmg.part is not a complete file.. It usually indicates that the entire file has not been downloaded yet. Are you sure you downloaded the entire file? (i recommend updating itunes through  > Software Update

Hello,

Either I get help with this or I am asking for a 2 year refund. My intention was to be able to edit a pdf in MS Word.

Develop a program that can read pdf document in the UClinux OS?

thank you!!!

I would strongly recommend using one of the libraries that are available (Google). If you don't want to pay the (modest) costs of a commercial license, there are several open source projects with licenses that allow you to use them in commercial products.

I've become increasingly frustrated with the ipad adobe app. I've subscribed to be able to convert my pdf files into word documents and it has yet to work I've paid for a service that does not work which in turn makes me a disgruntled customer to say the least very disappointed with such horrible service

Which service did you subscribe to? Adobe PDF Pack?
Once I know the service that you subscribed to, I can move this post to the right forum so that you can get in touch with the folks who can assist you.

Hi there, I have a Macbook Pro and I have been using Libre Office but I am not happy with it. I need a good word processing package to produce a manuscript and don't know if I have to get Word for Mac and how to put my documents into it.

Hi there and hello everybody.
I am writing a book and have been using Libre Office and would like a better word processing package.
I have heard that Pages 5 is better than the latest one. I need to be able to put my Libre Office documents
into Pages. Anyone know how to do this please?

Thanks. So would you say Word is the best processing package? And how do I choose which package 'opens' them.
This is a basic computer skill you might want to learn. You can always control which application opens any document, and the steps below apply to any Mac or Windows computer you use:
Method 1: Drag the document icon on top of the application (Word, Pages, LibreOffice...) icon and release. The system will open the document in the application you dragged it to.
Method 2: Go into the application (Word, Pages, LibreOffice...) and choose File/Open. Locate and select the document, and click the Open or OK button.
Method 3: Select the document icon and choose File/Open With, then choose the application you want to open the document with.
The only time these don't work is when the application cannot open that type of document. For example, you usually can't make a photo editor open a text file. But Word, Pages, and LibreOffice all know how to open text files, RTF files, and Word files.
But if it is important that the document formatting is exactly preserved when exchanging with other Word users, you really should use Word. If you can't afford to pay the retail price for a copy, Microsoft now lets you use Office for $6.99 a month or $69.99 a year.

Document Properties - Extract Application that Created the Pdf

Hello,
I need to extract the original application that a pdf was created from in javascript. eg in the document properties the application is shown as follows:
Application: AutoCAD 2010
The console script I have is as follows:
console.println('Application: '
+ this.info.Application +' ');
When the script is run it does not extract the application which the pdf was created from.
Can anyone please advise how the script can be modified to extract the application from the document properties?
Any assistance will be most appreciated.
Thank you.

Thank you very much for your help, most appreciated .
I can now extract the application which created the pdf as follows:
console.println('Application that create pdf: '
+ this.info.Creator +' ');
Thanks, Again.
