Unable to convert pdf to word file

How come I'm not able to convert a pdf file to a word document anymore?

You need to use either ExportPDF or PDF Pack. Exporting from PDF to Word was never a feature of Workspaces.

    unable to convert a ms word file to a pdf file.

    Hi haxbla611,
    I am happy to help, but need to know a little more about what's happening. Are you have trouble logging in, or trouble accessing the Adobe PDF Pack online service?
    I look forward to hearing back from you.

  • Why can I not convert pdf into word file?

    why can I not convert pdf into word file?

    This is not a feature of Adobe Reader. You'll need either Acrobat or a subscription to one of the web-based services that Adobe offers (like PDF Pack) to do it.

  • Cannot convert pdf to word file

    i cannot convert pdfs to word files using either Adobe Reader or ExportPDF website.  Using Adobe Reader, I get "an error occurred while trying to access the service" and for ExportPDDF website, I get an "internal server error" message. I have the most recent version of Adobe and checked for recent updates  Anything else I can try?

    Or if you don't have Word, you can use the free Microsoft Word Viewer.

  • 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.

  • Installed Adobe Pro X now unable to convert PDF - Missing PDFMaker Files

    Hello,
    I installed the trial version of Adobe Pro X and now I am unable to convert a Microsoft Word.doc file to .pdf.  The error message is 'Missing PDFMaker Files.  Do you want to run the installer to repair mode?'  I ran the installer, twice, with the same resulting error message.  (Am currently using Windows XP Pro along with Microsoft 2003 - and will upgrade in the new year.)  I searched this issue, and found the following:
    To manage your Disabled Items list in a Microsoft Office application:
    Open the Microsoft Office application (Word, Excel, Publisher).
    Choose Help > About [the application name].
    Click Disabled Items.
    Select Adobe PDF from the list, and then click Enable.
    Quit the Microsoft Office application, and then restart it.
    However, there are no applications in the list, including Adobe.
    I also tried this:
    If the error message continues to appear after you enable Adobe PDF, check the security level for macros in Microsoft Word:
    Choose Tools > Macro > Security.
    In the Security dialog, click the Security tab.
    Choose Medium or High.
    Do one of the following:
    If you chose Medium, then click OK.
    If you chose High, then continue with steps 5 through 7.
    Click the Trusted Publishers tab.
    Check Trust all installed add-ins and templates.
    Click OK.
    And Adobe is already there, so no change here.
    I have uninstalled the trial version, deleted what visible remnants I could find, restarted the computer, installed the trial version again and am getting the same error message.
    Is there a solution to this problem?  Or, should I just return to my Adobe Pro 7?
    Thank you in advance!

    I recently bought and installed Adobe Acrobat X Pro thinking that X Pro was compatable with Windows XP. I am unable to convert any Microsoft Office 2003 file into a PDF. I receive the same error message as above ( "Missing PDFMaker Files") and tried running it in repair mode as suggested. No change.
    I've tried this stuff:
    To manage your Disabled Items list in a Microsoft Office application:
    Open the Microsoft Office application (Word, Excel, Publisher).
    Choose Help > About [the application name].
    Click Disabled Items.
    Select Adobe PDF from the list, and then click Enable.
    Quit the Microsoft Office application, and then restart it.

  • Free trial version stopped converting pdf to word file

    Hello -
    I recently downloaded the free trial versio nof Adobe Reader XI, and for one day I was able to convert pdf files into Word files (doc, docx). I have not been able to do so since. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software to no avail. The furthest I can get is to click on the convert button within reader, and then when I click on 'view converted files' I am sent to a website that asks me to subscribe in order to use the conversion function. This looks to be a somewhat common bug with this software, which leaves me very little confidence that this would be a worthwhile purchase (I am a writing teacher and would like the ease of converting back and forth in the long term).
    Can anyone help me with this?
    Thank you and all best,
    Jen

    Adobe Reader is free software; there is no trial for it.
    The ExportPDF online service, initiated through Adobe Reader, is subscription based.  To the best of my knowledge there is no trial either.
    The only trial there is to convert PDF to Word/Excel is Adobe Acrobat.

  • What do I have to do to convert PDF to Word files?

    I just bought and installed Adobe Acrobat XI Pro thinking I would
    be able to now convert PDF files to Word files - but no -
    when I click on the icon to do this - it wants me to spend
    more $$ for this feature - is this correct?

    [ your email signature has been removed for security reasons ]
    If you have bought Adobe Acrobat then you will have the Save As Other > Microsoft Word menu item, and there's no charge to use it.
    If you are still opening your files in Adobe Reader, then it will be trying to sell you a subscription to the ExportPDF online service. You don't need that if you have Acrobat installed.

  • Adobe displays error when trying to convert PDF to Word file

    Help!  I just bought the Adobe convert pdf's to word package as it was advertised on the right side of a pdf file I was working on.  This file advertised itself as non savable but I don't want to spend hours working on this application only to have my computer freeze or shut down and have to repeat the work.  On the right side of the document is an advertisement from Adobe to convert PDF's to Word or Excel for a fee.  I pay the fee and now the pdf file fails to convert to Word.  I know some pdf's are protected and won't convert.  How do I know if that is the problem?  Why would Adobe advertise that it could convert a pdf to word if it was a protected document?  I have no idea how to trouble shoot this.
    Thanks

    Hi utschy33,
    For privacy reasons - we would not allow the advertisement to 'know' the level of security on any document. Sounds like you were accessing via a browser regardless so we cannot control that portion.
    Do you happen to know the original author of the document? And if not - what is your intension with the document? To share?
    Let us know so I can try to help you futher! Thank you for your time.
    Kindest regards, Stacy

  • Can't print converted pdf to Word file

    How do I print a word file that Adobe converted from a pdf file?  Word says the margins are too big.   What can I do?

    Hi DRH78225,
    Try changing the margins of your file within Word.  The exact steps to do so vary based on the version of Word you have installed.
    Thanks,
    David

  • Unable to convert pdf into xlsx file.  Can you help?

    I'm trying to convert my pdf file into an xlsx file.  I have the Adobe Export Subscription, yet Adobe Reader hasn't been able to convert it, although it will convert the file into an rtf file.  Any suggestions on how to make the conversion?

    Hey meech39265918,
    Can you just elaborate what problem did you face exactly with Adobe Reader. What error u got from Adobe Acrobat. I use it all the time and it works just fine. Is something wrong with the subscription. Anyways if you want to get an alternate u can try Universal Document Converter for converting PDF to Excel -  http://www.print-driver.com .

  • 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.

    Hi bert090909,
    Are you trying to convert your files from within Adobe Reader? If so, please make sure that you have the most current version by choosing Help > Check for Updates. Earlier versions of Reader could cause the specific error that you're reporting.
    Please let us know how it goes.
