Unable to Convert PDF's to Word.

When attempting to convert a PDF to a Word doc in the export function of Adobe XI I get the following error msg
"File Failed to be converted using Adobe Export PDF Online"
is it possible to get more detail than this? I upgraded my subscription to include this option however it has only worked 50% of the time. Its rather frustrating. All PDF's are from the same source in a shared file.
Please help, why are some not converting??

Unable to convert PDF file into word document

I just signed up with Adobe in order to convert a PDF file into a word document and it continues to fail. Any suggestions.

If you have adobe X, simply go to "File" -> "Save-As" and Microsoft Word is an option. Also, there is a download (paid) called Able2Extract that will allow you to convert pdfs to word, excel, etc. but the formatting is often lost. If you get the premium package, you can even convert scanned documents. I've used Adobe X to do the conversion, and it retains headers, footers and all formatting.
And i personally share you with a article about how to converting PDF files to Word(.doc), you just need to follow the easy guide.
Hope it can help you a lot.

Unable to convert PDF files to Word; no confirmation email

I've paid for converting PDFs in to word documents but haven't received my confirmation email - its telling me that its sent - I still cannot convert?

Hi looloochick,
I just checked your account, and see that your subscription has been active since July 8. You should be able to log in and convert files. What happens when you try? And, are you logging in to the service from within Reader, or directly on the ExportPDF website? If you're using Reader, please make sure that you have the most current version by choosing Help > Check for Updates. Version 11.0.07 (the current version) alleviates a sign-in error that occurs with earlier versions.
Please let us know how it goes. If you are getting an error message when you try to sign in or convert, please let us know what it is, so we can point you in the right direction for a solution.

I am unable to convert pdf to word on Export - says "subscribe now" - I am already subscribed.

I am unable to convert pdf to word on Export - says "subscribe now" - I am already subscribed.

I am having the same/similar problem. When I attempt to sign in from the conversion section, the program will not allow me to sign in, so I am unable to convert the PDF to any other program. However, I can sign in on adobe without problem. It is a real mess as I need to have this program functioning today and I have been told there is no one available to help until Monday. That does not seem to be the type of support that we have all paid for.

I just joined. I selected convert PDF to a word doc. I downloaded it. but I still can't edit it. What am I doing wrong? Are some PDF unable to be converted?

Hi karenb60536875,
There are some PDF types (such as those that are password-protected) that can't be converted. But when that's the case, you'll get a message during conversion, and the conversion will stop. It doesn't sound like that's the case for you.
What happens when you open the converted Word document in Word? Do you see an Enable Editing button at the top of the document? If so, please click that. If you're still unable to select text in the Word document, try triple-clicking to select it.
For reference, I will say that the quality of the conversion depends on the quality of the PDF (see Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community). So, there may be cases where a PDF written by a third-party application (a non-Adobe app), may not be written to spec, and that can affect the accuracy of the conversion.

Problems converting PDF to MS Word document. I successfully converted 4 files and now subsequent files generate a "conversion failure" error when attempting to convert the file. I have a large manuscript and I separated each chapter to assist with the conversion; like I said, first 4 parts no problem, then conversion failure. I attempted to convert the entire document and same result. I specifically purchased the export to Word feature. Please assist. I initially had to export the Word Perfect document into PDF and attempting to go from PDF to MS Word.

Hi sdr2014,
I'm sorry to hear your conversion process has stalled. It sounds as though the problem isn't specific to one file, as you've been unable to convert anything since the first four chapters converted successfully.
So, let's try this:
If you're converting via the ExportPDF website, please log out, clear the browser cache, and then log back in. If you're using Reader, please choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version installed.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,

I purchased PDF Converter Plus, v1.0 (4 ). I am unable to convert PDF into text. I get all gibberish when I try to do the conversion.

I purchased PDF Converter Plus, v1.0 (4 ). I am unable to convert PDF into text. I get all gibberish when I try to do the conversion.

I went to the site and did exactly as the 'support' said. I tried three PDF documents for conversion to Word. On clicking 'convert', the last window gives the file with .doc suffix. After I save and open it the window says, "The XML file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents." Under "Details", it says, "Incorrect document syntax".
Please guide me further.
Thanks

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

The application Acrobat provides no language translation capability.
If you localize the language for OS, MS Office applications, Acrobat, etc to the desired language try again.
Alternative: transfer a copy of content into a web based translation service (Bing or Google provides a free service).
Transfer the output into a word processing program that is localized to the appropriate language.
Do cleanup.
Be well...

Hi I have downloaded Acrobat XI Pro and when I try to convert pdf file to word the message says 'error can't sign in'

Hi I have downloaded Acrobat XI Pro and when I try to convert pdf file to word the message says 'error can't sign in'?

Hi Irenedix,
If you are using Acrobat you can try the suggestions mentioned above.
Are you using the Create PDF service from within Reader to create pdf?
If yes then please check if you are able to login to: https://cloud.acrobat.com/convertpdf with your Adobe ID and able to convert the document to pdf.
If yes then within Reader you can try the following:
Choose Edit > Preferences (Win)
Click 'Online Services' or 'Adobe Online Services' on the left-hand side
Sign out of your Adobe ID and sign back in.

I have acrobat 11 standard is it possible to convert pdf files to word files ?

I have acrobat 11 standard is it possible to convert pdf files to word files ? or is it just possible in the Pro version.

It sounds to me like you're using Reader, not Acrobat. Make sure you open
the PDF file in Acrobat, and then go to File - Save As Other - Microsoft
Word.

Converting .pdf files to Word in Pro v9 for Mac

I have just purchased a copy of Acrobat Pro v9 for Mac with the idea of converting .pdf files to word documents in the correct format and for editing. When I attempt to export a .pdf file to Word (2008) or save as a Word doc or docx file, the file doesn't open and my Word program freezes. To unfreeze, I need for force quit Word and begin again. I was told that pdf to word could be done in this version of Acrobat. Has anyone had this experience?

What type Document, was it to begin with? (Text/Image)
If the PDF was a Text document, you should be able to with no problem?
IF text based and converted, try opening word first then open the document.
There is a format that Word will read called RTF (Rich Text File), that Word can read.
Try converting to RTF then try opening. When opened then save as DOC or DOCX
If it was created from a scan, Word my not open it, because it is an image (a Big Picture).
Finally, if it has a lot of images, they may not do right, and may cause a lot of problems.
