PDF to Word.doc Converter and vice versa

Hello!
I am in need of a program capable to convert PDF files to Word documents and vice versa (eventually, a program for each way). The converter needs GUI and must handle images, tables etc. (not just plain text). Does anyone have any tip concering which
program I should use? It has to be free as my working place has not budgeted with buying 100 licenses. :-)
Thanks in advance!

Free? You'll be lucky. Your best bet to achieve your requirements is a PDF compatible OCR application such as Finereader. Free it ain't!

PDF forms populating Access DB and vice/versa

I have a PDF from that I published to Acrobat.com There are fields to be filled out. Problems:
1. How can I set the fields to populate into an existing MS Access DB once submitted results back to me?
2. How can the form populate upon a certain chouice criteria?
Scenerio: Form is a log file for patients seen, including name, date, room#, diagnosis codes, testing, medications, f/u. The same fields exist in MS Access but distributed among 3 tables (linked). In the PDF form I have created a New Data Connection (OLEDB), Connection string (Provider for ODBC drivers), In the Data View I see my fields from access - so for each input Binding it points to the field (i.e.: for patient name - $record.Patient.Last_Name).
But here is the rub:
1. When the first patient filed is filled, all subsequent patient names are filled with same name (and they keep just replaceing the other inputs).
2. I cannot seem to create a date calender, or have the current date default (taken from the computer time stamp).
3. I can not seem to calculate the follow/up (it's 4 weeks) from the input of the date.
4. When selecting a facility, how do I populate the fields with current patient names and previous Diagnosis (if at all possible).
5. When I created the data connection, the fill in spaces become obscured and my drop down box for facility choice stops working.
I know this is big, but any advice and help is greatly appreciated in advance. I have also attached the PDF form for analysis. Please not that there are two, one is the original prior to Life Cycle modification and the other is with the DB linking attempt.
Thanks
Shai

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the reply and help. I am uploading the MS Access DB (2007). Another caveat, when I chose to use the creat new connection and then chose the build - Microsoft Office 12.0 Access Databse Engine OLE DB Provider, I am not able to link into the database at all. I double checked the location and everything. I do not have any user name or password set-up and chose to leave it blank but get his error:
Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Could not find file 'C:\User\........'
Since I am new at this, please feel free to change any structure of the form as needed - as long as the end result will work
The set-up sounds quite easy and straight forward, but guess its a bit more complicated than I thought. I even have the book: Adobe Acrobat 9.0 in a class room - but no help there either. I am familiar with some Javascripting, so your explanations hopefully will not be over me head.
Thanks again for your dedication and help
regards
Shai

Adobe 9 Black on White Document Scans to PDF Invert Black to White and vice versa! Not Good!

I have the same problem as TexasLawyer (Jul 30 2009) whose question was not answered nor was there any answer to a commenter who said he has the same problem ("I have an old HP LaserJet 3330 multifunction printer, and prefer scanning documents out of Adobe Acrobat rather than the software that came with the scanner. However, after upgrading to Acrobat 9 Professional, the scans result in negative images. I tried using the option in Acrobat to create negative images, hoping that that would result in a positive, but it didn't work. I'm using Windows XP, also.")
Me too. Except I am running XP as a virtual machine in a MAC (Snow Leopard). I "upgraded" to Acrobat 9 from a functioning Acrobat 6 (worked fine with my setup to make correct B&W pdf's from scanned B&W documents on the HP 3330 before I installed Adobe 9--I got updates immediately and am at version 9.1.3) butthe Acrobat 9.1.3 scans on the HP 3300 invert white to black and black to white. The printer option box to invert black and white images was unchecked. I checked it and ran the scan again but same result--white of paper document is black in pdf and black is white in pdf. I can scan the B on W document using grayscale and get B on W but the file is too large and unacceptable due to smudges picked up with gray scale.
Can't understand how so basic a use of Adobe is this messed up.This has to be a common problem since many many users scan black on white documents to pdf. Does anyone have a solution to this? It is critical in my profession.
Thanks in advance to you problem solvers out there that can solve this for me and hte others in my boat who search these forums looking for the answer to this issue.

I have an HP6010 scanner (sheet feed) that is used to scan multiple page documents. If I use the WIA scanner option I cannot select page size and the scanner defaults to legal size. On the other hand if I use the Twain driver I get negative images on my scans. I just installed Acrobat X Pro and the same thing is happening. I was using Acrobat 9. In fact in duplex mode the scanner outputs a negative image every other page, and a standard image on the alternate pages. Either way I am frustrated. I can't remember when the problem began, but I believe I was running XP SP2 and Acrobat 7 or 8.
Ironically, if I push the scan to PDF button on the scanner, which uses an HP utility, it comes out fine. All pages are in positive mode.
I did try scanning in color even though the document is black and white. I believe that the scan was fine. No negative images, but scanning in color is like watching the sun go down.
I thought it was Vista and System 7, then I was told that it had to be a scanner issue and that I needed to talk to HP. However, if the scanner functions properly on its own, with the HP utilities, then it has to be Acrobat.

When I converted a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text. How can I solve this problem?

When I tried to convert a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text. How do I solve this problem? I don't know how to change it from Read Only.

Dear Sara
Thank you very much for sending the converted file. Yes, I am able to edit it - that will be very useful to me and I appreciate your help.
Referring to your previous message when you said you'd converted via Acrobat and not Acrobat.com, I'm converting via Acrobat.com because that's the only option that is shown (how do I convert via Acrobat? - perhaps that would be more successful). I'm using the Export PDF website, and the OCR is enabled to "Recognize text in English UK". However, I've just tried converting a different LPA pdf form, this time for Health & Welfare https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/245571/LPA114_He alth_welfare_LPA.pdf and again I have the same problem as before. I've altered it from "Read only" and thought I'd then be able to enter text, but "Drawing Tools" is shown in the pane and I'm unable to enter anything onto the form - everything appears to be in images. Also, the lettering on the heading of' page 1 has become jumbled, with the word "Public" overlaying the word "Guardian." Any suggestions as to what it is I'm doing wrong would be welcome - I don't like to be beaten!
Regards,
Judith.

How to setup word docs, converted to PDF on local drive with links to a second file at a page

how to setup word docs, converted to PDF on local drive with links to a second file at a page
Need to setup a set of word documents, converted to PDF that has links from one file to a second file at a given page.
I would like to setup a set of pdf documents, on the hard disk of a PC or Mac, that can be open with acrobat pro running on the same computer and have the link jump to, and open in a new window, in acrobat pro, to a given page of a second document in the set.
Is there a way to setup a link in word and the conversion to pdf that will result in a link that is equivalent to the acrobat link type you get when you add a link of the type Go to a page in another document?
Tools-Advanced Editing-Link tool, make a box
Check: Go to page view, Next (Create go to view dialog opens)
Open second document and go to page
Click “Create go to view dialog” to set up link
Result is a link, when view by link properties, with an action of
Go to a page in another document
File: C:\My Documents\second file.pdf
Page: 43
Zoom level: Custom
I got close but did not solve the problem:
I have a version that uses links to a website, using #page=43 at the end of the hyperlink.
That works but will only open to the page if is through the web browser, opening the acrobat reader plugin.
I need to open from a folder on the local harddisk (with relative links), in acrobat pro to the given page of the pdf, on a PC or a Mac.
I could bookmark each page “pagenumberxxx” and jump to the bookmark/page if that would get around some problem
Current Systems in use to create documents with links and view them:
Windows XP SP3
Word 2003 SP3
Acrobat 9 pro version 9.4.4
Or just to view them:
Mac OS 10 Lion version 10.7.4
Acrobat 9 pro version 9.5.1
(note I have limited understanding of Mac’s)
John

No. There seems to be no automated way to do it. You can of course go into the PDF and manually add links after you have converted to PDF, but that is what we want to avoid having to do. We want it to be automatic from the Word doc.

How do I convert the PDF to Word doc? It is not working for me

Just downloaded the conversation and I am not successful - need to convert PDF to WOrd doc - step-by-step instructions please

You need the ExportPDF forum. There, you'll find people who actually use the service (I have Acrobat and have never needed ExportPDF)

I am trying to convert a PDF to Word doc-- it worked previously but now it won't-?

Trying to convert PDF to Word doc--- was able to do it before but now nothing shows up when I click on the downloaded file

Hi asjoseph,
It sounds like you're reporting two different problems--is that correct? One, that you're unable to convert using ExportPDF, and another that you're trying to open or convert PDF? Is that correct?
For the first issue, make sure that you're signed in to the ExportPDF service. You can log in directly at cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf.
For the second part of your question, please tell me a bit more about where that error is occurring, and what steps you're taking before the error appears.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara

What program do i have to download to convert pdf to word doc

what program do i have to download to convert pdf to word doc? i just downloaded free trial of adobe and it wont let me convert file

You need to use Adobe Acrobat for this.

Can i convert pdf to word doc for free?

With Adobe XI, it appears that i can convert a pdf to word doc for free, at least that is what the help page shows. However, when i try to convert the document i am led to a subscription page for this to function to be available. It's not expensive,but it is very misleading.

There is a 30-day trial for Acrobat, but not sure it can convert to WORD (though I think it can). The full product can. However, be aware that conversion from PDF to DOCX varys depending on the way the PDF was created. If properly created, the conversion may be almost exact, but more commonly there format issues and such to deal with. There are also different conversion selections that give options to retain text flow versus layout. If you are looking for perfection, then don't be surprised when you don't get it.

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

Convert char to ascii code and vice versa

HI
Is there any function module to convert char to ascii code and vice versa.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
be careful if you have unicode running in your system. URL_ASCII_CODE_GET is platform-dependent so it will return the internal HERX representation of the character in your system - which is hopefully and in most cases ASCII.
Under unicode, we use double-byte characters here. I tried this function and the result CHAR_CODE is '00' regardless what character I specify for TRANS_CHAR. But the coding is so simple I corrected resultig in this sample code:
[P]
convert p_form to ASCII (internal) representation
DATA:
    l_ofs TYPE syfdpos,
    l_len TYPE sy-linsz,
    l_ascii TYPE i.
FIELD-SYMBOLS:
    <x> TYPE x.
l_len = STRLEN( p_ascii ).
DO l_len TIMES.
    l_ofs = sy-index - 1.
    ASSIGN p_ascii+l_ofs(1) TO <x> CASTING.
    l_ascii = <x>.
    WRITE: l_ascii.
ENDDO.
[/P]
Here, for each character of string p_ascii, the internal (ASCII) representation is determined and written to the output list.
Regards,
Clemens
