Saving PDF as Word .doc or .rtf portrait landscape weirdness

Hello all,
I have a PDF that was originally created in Word (by someone, not sure who) and I
have been asked to modify the text a bit. I began doing that in Acrobat 7.0.9 -
but kept running into font encoding issues, and I'm almost dangerously clueless
when using Acrobat so I elected to save the PDF out of Acrobat as a Word document
.doc -
The problem is that upon opening the Word document, the page orientation has
flipped on its side - both the text and the pages are flipped 90 degrees now to
Landscape mode.
Any ideas why this happened or how to fix it?
Thanks!!
Tim

Thanks John... that's what I needed to confirm I guess in my own mind at least, <br />that I would need to edit the original file in Word, not expect Acrobat to build <br />me a perfect Word document on its own.<br />So I ended up doing that.... editing it in Word, then building a new PDF from <br />there.<br /><br />Thanks a bunch for your help/advice.<br /><br />Tim<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><[email protected]> wrote in message <br />news:[email protected]..<br />> You might look here <a href=http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b4fc08><br />><br />> And read the 1st answer to the question, by steve foxall

  • 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.

  • Hyperlinks in PDF'd word doc

    hyeperlinks aren't happening after I PDF a Word doc. I'd be soooo grateful for right answer on this - the hyperlink feature is the whole point for me to have Pro.
    thanks so much.

    There is a PDF Creator
    from Code-Poetry http://www.codepoetry.net/projects/cups-pdf-for-mosx
    That will do it.  install. install it and if word has any hyperlinks when you go to Printer:
    The will Transfer over with no problem :
    Note the two email adresses show in this png one is mine that now goes to a spam dump email address for me.
    the other belonged to a cousin but she changed providers so this email address doesn't exist. Plus this a PNG representation and is not clickable
    this was a copy of an email that was  was converted to a word document  to be used in a family tree item on my website.
    In or to do this in acrobat I actually have to go to advanced menu then choose create to a url, or a  mailto
    This Utility actually proves a point, MS has been making about needed information to create URLs and Mailtos are in word Mac and have been all along.

  • 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

  • Save as pdf or word doc with password

    I can't seem to create a pdf or a word .doc from my (applework) document which has a password.
    That is I want the pdf or word doc to have a password - the same one hopefully as my original but I can't find how to do it!
    Any tips please?
    Gordon

    You may be able to set a password for the file at the system level.
    Open the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and create an encrypted disk image without putting the password in your keychain. Move the file to the mounted image, and then throw away the copy directly on the hard disk followed by choosing Secure Empty Trash in the Finder.

    Hi lorrelaws,
    Do you receive that error when you try to sign in via Reader? If so, try signing in via the web interface. Did that do the trick?
    Let us know how it goes.

  • Viewing/Syncing PDF and Word Docs?

    I read before I bought my iPhone that it would have support for PDF and Word Docs. How do I view and store these docs? Since I can sync music and movie files, can I sync documents too?

    So I can store and view a 700MB movie, but not and 8kb text file? Are you kidding? I've tried emailing myself a PDF, but I can only view it in Mail's tiny vertical window. So far I have been unable to open ANY PDF on the Web. I get an error "Safari can not download this type of file."
    There is no way to sync/view a PDF like I sync/view Photos? Why include PDF support then implement it in the narrowest way imaginable? This phone just became useless in any type of business environment. It is unbelievable that on an 8 gig Phone I can't even store a PDF, Word, or TXT file. Looks like this phone is a $600 toy, not a device for a serious user.
