URGENT:  convert pdf Form to Word Form

Ihave a filled in pdf form and a blank form and I need to convert each to a Word form. acro pro 7 If I had vers 8.0 pro,would the steps be any different?
what is the fastest way to do this? The boss says the pdf form is not flexible enough but I cannot ask her more at this moment.

As long as you have been using Acrobat, I am surprised that your boss would have such a question. I thought of one possibility if the form fields are not retained in WORD, but don't know if it will work. You could try to save as HTML (I usually have best luck with HTML 3) and then open that in WORD. That might give you a back door to keep the form fields in much the same way opening a HTML form in Acrobat retains the form fields. Just a thought if the WORD save does not work.
In terms of flexibility, it is a simple matter to create the form (without fields) in WORD (the master document), make changes, and create a new PDF. Then the modified pages can simply be used to replace those in the old form (don't forget to work on a copy). I guess that is the second idea that is probably the route you were planning to take. Again, bood luck with the boss and with WORD. Bill

    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.

  • 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 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.
    Regards,

  • Can I convert .pdf documents to word and back again using Acrobat 9 Standard?

    Can I convert .pdf documents to word and vice versa using my (already purchased) Acrobat 9 Standard?
    OR do I need to inhstead upgrade the Acrobat 11 already on my laptop to PRO?

    See http://www.adobe.com/mena_en/products/acrobat/product-comparison.html
    The link is for Acrobat XI, but should basically be the same for Acrobat 9.

    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.

    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,

  • 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.

    Hi aretak62561303,
    Are you finding this output in all of the PDF files that you convert? How were the PDFs created? Did they start life as scanned documents? Knowing how the PDFs were created can help us understand why they convert the way they do.
    That said, the quality of the conversion depends quite a bit on the quality of the PDF file.
    For starters, please try disabling OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community. When this option is disabled, ExportPDF won't perform optical character recognition on the PDF, so you may get more legible results.
