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.

    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.

  • How do I convert a PDF written in gothic words? And how convert a PDF "image/foto" in Word ?

    friends, how to convert file written in Gothic letters to normal letters in Word pdf?
    and also, how to convert an image of text to Word?

    Hi bulos solon,
    I see that you have an ExportPDF subscription. Have you tried converting your PDF files, and found that the results aren't what you expect?
    When you convert a PDF file to Word, the ExportPDF service does its best to match the font used in the PDF with one available in its font library. But, you don't get to choose a font for conversion. So, you could simply reformat the text in Word once the file has been converted.
    As for converting a image of text (say, from a scanned document) from PDF to Word, that process actually happens with the ExportPDF service. It performs OCR (optical character recognition) by default. (You can disable OCR if you convert via Word, but not if you convert via the website).
    I hope this has helped answer your questions. If not, please let us know!
    Best,
    Sara

  • Just purchased and want to convert a PDF form to a Word Doc

    I just purchased the Basic Conversion package and would like to convert a scanned adobe PDF document into a word document. I am using W 2003 but have W 2010 on my PC also. I need it

    Hi there,
    To use the ExportPDF service, simply visit http://exportpdf.acrobat.com and click 'Sign in' at the top right corner.  Enter your Adobe ID (email address) credentials to log into the service.  As ExportPDF is web-based, you simply utilize the tool through your web browser.  After you're logged in, you should see the ExportPDF interface, with a button saying 'Select PDF file..' to get the process started. Make sure the 'Recognize scanned text in' checkbox is checked since you're working with scanned PDF files.
    Please let us know if you have any questions.

  • How do I convert a pdf form to a word document?

    I have a pdf that has interative form fields included in it, therefore when I try to convert if to a word document the resulting document is blank.
    Any ideas on how to ensure the document is coverted?

    You can try to print and scan the file to pdf (to make it a flat pdf) and convert it to word. However, could you send me your pdf that has interactive form fields to [email protected], so I can investigate?
    Thanks.

    I just noticed that you added a few more details and it seems like the problem is that part of the conversion is not working. Would it be possible to share the file with me so that I can forward it to the team that owns that service? My email address is [email protected]

  • How do I convert a pdf form into an app?

    I am NOT a programmer but it seems to me that it shouldn't be that difficult to convert a pdf form into an app? There must be some kind of tool within adobe that I can use to do so? I am a member of Creative cloud.

    Hi Jamie1moon,
    You are trying to convert the form into which format?
    Adobe Acrobat can be used to convert a pdf into formats such as .doc,.docx,.ppt,.xls,.jpeg etc. but it will remove the existing formats and validations if any applied on the form fields.

  • When trying to convert a pdf file into a word doc, i only get the graphics but not the text. How do i remedy this?

    When trying to convert a pdf file into a word doc I only get graphics but no text. What to do?

    Hey hamsa142,
    I think you are converting a scanned PDF to word.
    You might need to run OCR first to make the text recognizable and then convert it to word.

  • I created a pdf form from a Word doc with 9 pt aerial font formatting; the text on the pdf form is aerial 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - How do I reformat the font in the fields??

    I created a pdf form from a Word doc with 9 pt aerial font formatting; the text on the pdf form is aerial 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - How do I reformat the font in the fields??

    You can set up a temporary button (or link, bookmark, etc.) and add the following JavaScript action:
    // Mouse Up script for a temporary button (or bookmark, etc.)
    // Change the font and font size for all text fields in this document
    for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i += 1) {
        var f = getField(getNthFieldName(i));
        if (f.type === "text") {
            f.textFont = font.Helv;
            f.textSize = 9;
    It also sets the font size, but you can remove that line if you don't need to do that.

  • How do you scan in a PDF form to make it electronic and have the fields electronic?

    how do you scan in a PDF form to make it electronic and have the fields electronic?

    If you have Acrobat, you can create a PDF from a scan by selecting: File > Create > PDF from Scanner
    This is for Acrobat 11. Previous version of Acrobat have something similar.
    In order for Acrobat to be able to automatically add form fields, you will have to at least perform OCR on the PDF, but I would not expect good results. There's only so much it can do and starting from a scan is iffy. You will probably have to create the form fields yourself using the various form tools in form editing mode: Tools > Forms > Edit

  • Export PDF converts filled PDF form without the data - Turns filled PDF form onto blank Word doc. Is there a solution to this or did Adobe just sell me a service that doesn't work?

    Export PDF converts filled PDF form without the data - Turns filled PDF form onto blank Word doc. Is there a solution to this or did Adobe just sell me a service that doesn't work?

    ExportPDF is not for forms. In general, converting forms to Word is a really, really bad idea which can even cause legal problems. Work with the form as a PDF. Acrobat (not Reader) can export form data as simple text for example.
