Using Adobe ExportPDF to try and convert a 73 page pdf to a word doc and it just keeps on spinning.

It has been over an hour now and I have a lightning fast Comcast cable connection.  The document was scanned into an OCR PDF file and it is 73 pages.

  • How do i convert a multi page pdf to a word doc w the same number of pages?

    My file started in Adobe Illustrator. It has several pages of text.  I converted to a pdf. When I tried to convert to Word with Export PDF, all the pages ended up on a single page, instead of a Word doc with the same number of pages. What do i do to get a pdf of 7 pages to convert to a 7-page Word doc?

    Word page layouts are fixed like PDFs. Just add page breaks as needed. But don't expect any kind of good result. If Word could do fancy layout, we wouldn't need Illustrator.

  • After I exported a PDF to a Word doc and downloaded it, I can't get the pointer tool to work.

    After I exported a PDF to a Word doc and downloaded it, I can't get the pointer tool to work. When I click on the document text, the only tool is the "move" tool. I can't edit or select text. Please advise.

    Version of Adobe: Adobe ExportPDF (not Pro)
    Operating system:  Windows 8.1
    Steps I am taking: When the PDF file is selected and opened, I clicked on Tools menu on right side of the screen; then I clicked on Select PDF file; then under Convert To, I selected Microsoft Word (*.docx); then I hit the box below that; and clicked Convert. I then see the message that says it is Converting to Export PDF Online. Then I see a link below that, that says Download Converted File. This takes me online to Adobe Acrobat .com, where, I see the command, Export PDF, and see a blue box on the same screen that says Select PDF Files to Export. I click on the thumbnail of the file I want to export. This brings up, online, a screen containing the file I wanted to convert to Word. Then, on the same screen, I click on the icon on the right hand of the screen that says Download. then I click on the box on the bottom the screen that contains the Word document I had wanted to convert. This brings up the Word doc. in Compatibility Mode the latest Word version, which I am unfamiliar with and which has a Picture Tools tab that I cannot escape from and I cannot get any selection tool other that the Move pointer, and I cannot find the Select text pointer to select any text on the page. I don't want this Word version and do not know how to return to the old version of Word that I am familiar with.
    Can you help me, please?

  • I am converting a PDF to a Word Doc and it is not converting our logo or any handwritten notes to the new document

    I am trying to convert a PDF to a Word Document.  I have only recently started using this item so I am not sure what I am doing wrong.  When the PDF document is converted to the Word doc it is not converting any symbols, logos or handwritten items.  For example I have a sign letter of intent with a signature that I am trying to convert from a PDF to a word document and the signature does not appear on the word doc. 

    Hi judyf73891847,
    I don't think you're doing anything wrong. I'm not surprised that ExportPDF is having a hard time converting handwriting. One option is to disable OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community. Then, ExportPDF won't try to convert those elements into editable text. The only drawback to that is that you won't be able to edit those items when you open the converted document in Word.

  • Creating a pdf from a word doc and the image and footer will not show

    I am trying to create a pdf from a word doc that has an image and footer. Neither will show in the pdf. Also getting this message "Adobe Acrobat Updater has not been able to check for updates recently. Check online to see if solutions are available from the Adobe website." My Cloud says it is updated.

    What was the Original?
    If it was from Word, chances are the top and bottom Margins were set too narrow. (should not be less than .5 inches even more safety 1" would be better). As for graphics. Check in Word preferences (may be called different in a windows machine) make sure in view and Print settings "Graphics" is checked (show Graphics and Print Graphics).

    The free Reader does not need a subscription, and does not "interact" with Word documents. In any case, this may help you with cancel a subscription:

  • File fails to convert online from a PDF to a word doc.

    I've tried multiple solutions to attempt to get my pdf. files to convert to word doc. It was working fine back in September. I have since tried the other solutions listed on the discussion board, such as signing in and out or going to the following address https://exportpdf.acrobat.com/app.html , but neither seem to work.  The latter will upload the pdf, but I receive a message saying that there was an error when trying to save the doc.
    Is there a fix for this? I paid $20 for an annual membership and this stopped working for me back in October...

    I attempted all of the following, but with no luck...
    1. Clear your browser cache (steps to do this vary by browser)
    2. Try to update your version of Flash Player by visiting: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    If you’re still having trouble after those steps, please try this:
    1. Go to this link where you can manage your Flash Player Global Settings:http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/se ttings_manager03.html
    2. Ensure the "Allow third-party Flash content to store data on your computer" option is checked.
    3. Make sure the slider is set to a value other than 0
    4. Restart your browser to accept these changes.

  • "file failed to be converted using Adobe ExportPDF online"

    I have been getting errors for about a week when trying to convert a PDF to a word document. In Acrobat I get the error "File failed to be converted using Adobe ExportPDF Online" and when online using ExportPDF I get a conversion failure.
    Please help.

    Hi PeterChick,
    Does it occur with all files or a specific file?
    Are you trying to convert from within Reader or from Browser?
    If from Reader then make sure you are signed in within Reader, also try updating Reader to the latest v11.0.09 and check.
    If from Browser then have you checked with a different browser if possible?
    Regards,
    Florence

  • How do I get a refund?  I have tried to use this converter to change a PDF to a word document or excel document three of four times and it always fails..  I want my money back but don't see any way to communicate with Adobe.

    How do I get a refund?  I have tried to use this converter to change a PDF to a word document or excel document three of four times and it always fails..  I want my money back but don't see any way to communicate with Adobe.  i really just want my money back.  Very disappointed.  Also disappointed that it is so hard to find a way to communicate with Adobe that I have to resort to asking this question in this forum. 

    You need to use the CHAT link in support to reach Adobe staff. Be sure you know the product name you are trying to cancel, Adobe have lots of products, several converters etc. I think it is ExportPDF you have, most likely.

    Hi Dude291,
    I'm sorry that you're having trouble with ExportPDF. Can you please tell me a bit more about what's going on, so we can get to the bottom of the issue?
    What browser are you using? Have you tried clearing the browser cache?
    Are you converting from within Reader, or directly via the ExportPDF website?
    Are you able to convert other files? Or is the error specific to this one file?
    How large or complex is  the file that you're trying to convert?
    Are you accessing ExportPDF from a networked computer that may have firewall/proxy settings that are limiting access to the Internet?
    I think that's good for starters. Please get back to us with some detail about the problem and we will see what we can do.
    Best,

  • Help needed using adobe exportpdf

    The first time I used adobe export pdf it worked well. However the next time and every other time I try to convert a pdf doc to word docx I get the error message at the end of the uploading session. "pdf doc failed to export to m,icrosoft word.  There was an unexpected problem.
    Anyone overcome this problem?

    Hi Stacy
                   Thanks for that info.  I was aware of the 100MB limit but 
    your response made me think again and go back to the problem and this is 
    what I found. The first  pdf document I uploaded into Adobe export pdf was  43
    MB and it went through fine. when I looked at the conversion to Word  docx I
    found it had been transformed into 83MB.
    So the conversion (which was a children's book with lots of images in it) 
    resulted in an increase of MBs by a factor of 1.7.  
    The second pdf document I uploaded was 64MB and this failed. If I apply the
    1.7 factor then the Word docx I wanted was going to be 109MB and therefore
    over  the 100MB limit.
    I didn't know that converting pdf to word would increase the MB like that. 
    Why, I don't know so thanks for your help I've learnt something new.
    Cheers
                Garth

  • Batch Excel conversion using Adobe ExportPDF

    As of Subject!
    Is it possible and massively convert a batch of PDF files (i.e., a whole folder) in Excel using Adobe ExportPDF online?
    If not, is it possible coupling with Adobe Acrobat Pro batch conversion?

    More on this?
    Do I need Acrobat Pro, or is it sufficient Acrobat Standard?
    Allow me an OT: from which version can I active the "Upgrade" option?
