Need help on converting pdf to original formatted word doc?

Purchased trial for Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and cannot seem to convert pdf files back to the original formatted word docs as promoted by this product.  Keep experiencing formating issues which would reuire me to go back and re-work the word doc which defeats the purpose of being able to convert the pdf back to the word doc.  Is there a way to keep the original formatting in the word doc when converting from the pdf?
Thanks!

You need to use PDF Maker to have hope of working backwards. However, in practice the best solution is to keep the WORD document and not try to go back and forth. Going from PDF to WORD is hit and miss. If you have equations, you can forget obtaining the result correctly as far as I know, particularly if they are MathType. In general you can convert to DOC or DOCX, but it is not a recommended work flow to use regularly.

  • Need help with converting PDF files to word document.

    When attempting to convert PDF files to word document, after clicking on "convert" a message "error occurred while signing in" displays. Don't know why??? I'm logged into my account and haven't been able to convert documents.

    Assuming that you try to use the ExportPDF service, I am moving your topic to the ExportPDF forum.
    Just for completeness, can you post your operating system, browser, and Adobe Reader version?

  • I need help in converting PDF to PS and back to PDF

    I am using the ghostScript distiller for PS to PDF file conversions. I need to know if I can make it convert from PDF to PS and back to PDF while optimizing the PDF in the process using the pdfopt.bat. I believe that changes need to be made to idcrefinery.cfg to allow for this conversion (Using an inbound refinery "IBR" to convert certain file types to PDF when checked in through a content server). My need is to be able to optimize PDF files upon checkin to the content server. Any tips, guidance, or ANY help would be greatly appriciated.
    Thank you,
    Roger

    Sounds like a question for GhostScript users, not Acrobat users.

    "Adobe" is a company. If you mean "Adobe Reader" then you can't (at least not easily). You need Adobe Acrobat for that.

  • Need help in converting date format

    Hi,
    Need help in converting date format from 'DD-MON-YYYY' to 'YYYY-MM-DD' in an .rtf template as I believe xml publisher supports the date format as 'YYYY-MM-DD' only.
    Thanks,
    Raj.

    I got the same problem, anyone know how to solve this problem? I allready found some date functions on http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2008/09/date_functions.html . I also tried <?xdoxslt:month_name(xdoxslt:get_month(xdofx:substr(NEED_BY_DATE, 4,3)), $_XDOLOCALE), 0, 'nl-NL')?>, but then it returns a namespace error (Caused by: oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XPathException: Namespace prefix 'xdofx' used but not declared.). Anyone know how to fix this?

  • I am wondering what upgrades I need in order to convert PDFs into another format and compress the size of a PDF (if this is possible)?

    I want to be able to convert PDFs into another format and I know this can be achieved with a small upgrade. However I am also looking for the ability to compress the size of PDFs, if this is at all possible.

    You can use Acrobat Standard for this.

  • Convert pdf to any format

    i currently searching for a tool that can convert pdf to any format (office 08, iwork '09, pictures)
    anybody has any suggestion? a tool that do-it-all?

    If you really do mean ANY format, then you know of course that if you open a PDF file in Preview you can select 'Save As...' and in the Save window that comes up, from the 'Format' pop-up button you can select:
    GIF
    ICNS
    JPEG
    JPEG-2000
    Microsoft BMP
    Microsoft Icon
    OpenEXR
    Photoshop
    PICT
    PNG
    SGI
    TGA
    TIFF
    Unfortunately they are all image formats, which is useless if you want to extract the text as text. You can use Previews Text tool to drag across text and then copy and paste it into TextEdit or Pages - this though leaves the images behind.
    Also, depending on your needs, since Snow Leopard, the inbuilt pdf filtering is suppose to be smarter than previous, in that if the pdf document is multi-column, then dragging across multiple columns of text will automatically determine the columns and when you paste it it will all come out intact. Unfortunately it isn't as smart as it thinks and my experience is that it is easily confused and will sometimes think there are columns that don't really exist.
    Lastly, and probably what you are looking for, PDF2RTFService 1.1 by Devon Technologies is worth a look:
    http://www.devon-technologies.com/products/freeware/services.html
    Depending on your needs it may or may not work for you. I find that for simple documents it does OK. For complex documents it's barely helpful. And since Snow Leopard, it sees columns that don't really exist - although that's Apple's fault, not Devon Technologies.

    Opps, forgot to mention the PDF2RTFService is Free , but you figured that from the 'freeware' in the link, right.

  • I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

    I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

    You mean an image such as a scanned document?
    If that is the case, the file doesn't contain any text for Reader Out Loud to read. In order to fix that, you would need an application such as Adobe Acrobat that does Optical Character Recognition to convert the images to actual text.
    You can also try to export the file as a Word document or something else using ExportPDF which I believe offers OCR and is cheaper than Acrobat.

  • I need help with creating PDF with Preview...

    Hello
    I need help with creating PDF documetns with Preview. Just a few days ago, I was able to create PDF files composed of scanned images (notes) and everything worked perfectly fine. However, today I was having trouble with it. I scanned my notebook and saved 8 images/pages in jpeg format. I did the usual routine with Preview (select all files>print>PDF>save as PDF>then save). Well this worked a few days ago, but when I tried it today, I was able to save it, but the after opening the PDF file that I have saved, only the first page was there. The other pages weren't included. I really don't see anything wrong with what I'm doing. I really need help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I can't find it.  I went into advanced and then document processing but no batch sequence is there and everything is grayed out.
    EDIT: I realized that you cant do batch sequences in standard.  Any other ideas?

    Hi Cowandmoon,
    From within Adobe Reader, could you try opening Adobe Reader XI and choosing Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Adobe Reader > Preferences (Mac), then select 'Adobe Online Services' from the left-hand side.  Click 'Sign Out...', then sign back in with your Adobe ID and password.
    After this is completed, try choosing the Tools pane again from within Reader to see if you can access your subscription.
    Please let us know how it goes!
    Thanks,
    David

  • How do i convert a pdf file to a word doc in order to make changes

    How do I convert a pdf file into a word doc in order to make chnages?

    You need Acrobat and can then use File --> Save As... --> Microsoft Word. Just don't expect miracels. PDFs aren't meant for editing and you may end up with clumps of text and lose all formatting and may have to rebuild the document completely.

  • Pls tell me how I can convert a PDF form to a Word doc, and have radio buttons etc work?

    Pls tell me how I can convert a PDF form to a Word doc, and have radio buttons etc work?  My PDF form did convert using Adobe PDF Export.... but the formatting is a schamozzle if I try to do anything with it.  Most importantly, I need the check boxes and radio buttons to work in Word!

    Checkboxes and radio buttons are form objects from Acrobat.  There is no equivalent for these objects, with the way they were constructed, within Word.
    I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
