Timeout error when converting PDF to Word

Is anyone available? I have a time sensitivity project - that would be simple for most folks...Need a question answered

Hi Sara,

it still cannot read it. I would like to return the programm because it
doesn't help to solve my task. Please be so kind and advice how I can
return it because I will not use it.
Kind regards,
Marie Schechter

Why does all alphabets change to capital when converting pdf to word using Adobe Acrobat XI

Why does all alphabets change to capital when converting pdf to word using Adobe Acrobat XI

Word 2013 uses its own pdf creator engine as far as I know. The step I performed were:
1 - In the save settings I told word to embed fonts (sorry for the language, I have the Italian client)
2 - Export from Word -> Save As -> .pdf adding also the table of contents/index
N.B. I cannot use PDF/A, and in any case it doesn't embed the font
A working solution is to use Acrobat XI to convert it or print with Adobe PDF printer, results:
The problems are 2:
1 - It doesn't create any bookmark and doesn't create links from the table of images to the linked images
2 - Images, also with the preset "High Quality Printing" customized using "No compression", are really ugly and if you zoom a bit more than 100% they totally be s**t. It wasn't that way with PDF created by word.
In the end, or I find they way to open the pdf created by word and embedd the missing font, or I find a way to make Acrobat XI creating bookmarks from the word file.
Suggestion?

Why do I keep getting an error message when converting PDF to word?? help please!

I just subscribed to the ExportPDF but is not working. I keep getting an error message saying "Conversion Failure" when trying to convert PDF file to word! I don't know what to do.

HI tatamene,
I'm sorry that you're having trouble converting a document. For starters, have you verified that your account is active? (You can check by logging in to www.adobe.com and checking under My Subscriptions and Services). Aside from that, I'll need a little more info to get to the bottom of your problem.
Are you trying to convert the file from within Reader, or directly via the ExportPDF website?
What operating system and browser are you using?
How large is the file that you're trying to convert? (There's a file-size limit of 100 MB.)
Is the computer that you're using networked?
Do other files convert without error?
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara

How can I turn off text recognition when converting PDF to Word?

I just converted a PDF to Word. It was an image file, but the converter recognized certain lines in the illustration as text elements, so some of the pictures are "chopped up". Is there a way to "turn off" the text recognition feature so that I can keep my images intact? Thanks for your help!

Hi watermelon321,
You can't disable OCR if you convert via the ExportPDF website, but you can if you convert from within Reader. This document tells you how: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community

Run time error when Combining PDF or WORD files

Good morning everyone
I have a client who is trying to merge two files either word or PDF files and every time she does this she is getting a run time error on the process.
the Machine is a Lenevo Desktop with Xp SP3 on the machine
Running Office 2007 with SP 3 now on the machine
Adobe Pro X with the latest and current updates Licnesed
I have done the repair on this unit several times as well as repair of the Office.
We can convert the Word files no problem but i get a an error on the merging of the files
has anyone seen this problem before?
what do i need to do to resolve this issue?

Operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium..
Version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.13.
Any thoughts on what the issue is?

When converting files to word fr om MAC pdf - the HEADLINES and SUBHEADS - often look like this: gOOd mOrNiNg wORlD, wAkE uP! what's wrong, what can I do?

We make books, and our client just changed from PC production to MAC - and the headlines, subheads, and all big fonts go crazy alternating or messing up caps and lower case.
What causes this - how can we fix it. Thanks

Hi J. Polmar,
How were the original PDFs created? Are the headers and footers graphic elements? It sounds like there may be an issue with the Optical Character Recognition that ExportPDF is performing when you convert the PDF file to Word. You may have better luck by disabling OCR as outlined in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel. Note, however, that when OCR is disabled, text that's part of an image in the original PDF won't be editable in the converted document.
Please let us know how it goes.

Converting PDF to word using OCR

How do I convert a PDF file to Word format without the text changing on the Word document?

Hi IBEW45,
OCR is enabled by default when you convert a PDF to Word via the ExportPDF website. Just make sure that you're selecting the correct language for character recognition.
If you're converting to Word from within Reader, it is possible to disable OCR. If you're encountering issues where there are odd characters in the converted Word file, you may be running into font issues. A good troubleshooting technique is to disable OCR. Here are the instructions: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel.
Please let us know how it goes.

Why do i always get conversion failure when converting pdf files to xls in exportpdf program?

I have had export pdf for months. I cannot export pdf files to excel files. It always says conversion failure. Anyone have any idea why this is happening? I am so frustrated! This was supposed to make my payroll reports easier, but it has not helped at all.

Hi denise/sharon,
I can understand your frustration. Are you converting via the ExportPDF website, or from within Adobe Reader? Does the conversion failure occur every time that you try to convert a file (has it ever worked for you)?
Since you're talking about payroll, I'm assuming that you're accessing ExportPDF from a corporate computer. You may want to check with your IT department to make sure there are no firewall/proxy settings that limit your access to the Internet.
Also, make sure that you're using a supported web browser. You can find a list here: System Requirements | Adobe Acrobat Pro and Online Services
Finally, if you're using Reader, you can try disabling OCR (optical character recognition) by following the steps in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel.
Please let us know how it goes.

Error when I sign in to the Convert PDF to Word feature

When I sign in to the Convert PDF to Word feature, after I enter my password I get a message "An error occurred while signing in" and the feature locks up, giving the same message if I use the "convert" button, can anyone help with this. Adobe Support sent 3 emails to reset my password all of which timed out before I could get to them. I have changed my password and it is still the same. Help please.

Hello Kathie,
Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
Please let me know if you have tried converting any other PDF to word with Reader.
Alos, please sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials. Click on 'ExportPDF' tab and upload the PDF that you want to convert to Word.
Let me know if this converts fine.
Hope to hear from you.

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?
