Using Export PDF, I thought it would convert my scan to Word .

I scanned a document into my computer and then hoped to convert it to Word so that I and others could edit it. It still looks like a scan with no toolbar for editing. How will I be able to edit it? GBJ@

I have the same question. The doc says to enable OCR, which it is by default. However, I see no option to enable to disable OCR, and my scanned PDF, with images containing text, was not converted. Conversion to RTF instead of Word worked, but the quality is poor.

why i am not able to edit converted file from pdf to word. i am using windows 7 pro. i have tried to triple click the document but has no effect. grateful if anyone can assist.

Hi lithgowben,
Are you having the same trouble regardless of the file you've converted to Word?
How were the PDFs you're converting created (using what application)? You can tell by opening the PDFs in Reader and choosing File > Properties. Look for the document creator on that dialog box.
Would you be willing to share your file with me, so that I can take a look at it here? If so, let me know, and I'll shoot you my contact details in a private message.
I look forward to hearing back from you.

Export pdf and acrobatX! - I want to scan into word so I can edit the text

how do I scan a document into editable text?

Hi grandmalib,
If you use either Acrobat or ExportPDF to convert a PDF file to Word, it automatically performs optical character recognition (OCR) on the PDF file to convert scanned text to editable text. All you need to do is make sure that the correct language is selected for text recognition (in ExportPDF, look at the Document Language for Text Recognition pop-up menu).
In Acrobat, you can save a PDF file in Word format by choosing File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document. Click Settings to change the language selected for text recognition.

Sara

I operate a windows 8, 62 bit computer. I have ordered and downloaded the following product for AU$129 Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 (Windows,English) on the understanding that it would convert PD files to word. It is not doing so. Is this a wrong order?

Won't convert files using Export pdf.

I have installed export pdf and used it successfully over the last two years .My subscription is recorded as paid. When I try to convert i get an error message " An error occurred while trying to access the service"
I tried Adobe support and eventually got referred to an advisor in Asia. Who tried to help but there were difficulties in the conversation. He asked to access my machine and i had to go to a link for Adobe Connect. This just kept hanging. So I was asked not use Mozilla but go to Explorer I did this but explorer would not accept the link and when I said that to my contact he disconnected the phone. Altogether i wasted around 40 minutes on the phone.
As you cannot e mail Adobe it would appear I would have to restart that length process with possibly the same result.
Anyone any ideas?

Hi K nicholls,
Are you using Adobe Reader to access the Export pdf service to convert the file.
If so please update Reader to the latest v 11.0.10 and then check. Also make sure you are signed in with your Adobe ID in Reader.
Can you please also try signing in to the web url: https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf with your Adobe ID and check if you are able to convert the file or not.

Use Export PDF to Convert WordPerfect

I subscribe to Export PDF. It converts virtually any format to PDF except for WordPerfect Corel ".wpd" format. I can do the conversion from within WordPerfect. Except my 160-page document, containing a couple of pages of .gif text will not convert. Can anyone tell me why?

Hi lynrowe,
Yes, you can convert PDF to .doc format.There is an option in 'Convert To' drop down list.
See this screen shot.

Hello, someone please help me. I don't know why on line tech support is unavailable.
I just purchased Adobe Export PDF in an attempt to be able to export documents from .pdf to Ms. Word. I have a PC. When I open the document in .pdf my name appears in the top right hand corner. When I click on it and select export to Ms. Word, I get nothing. Can someone instruct me on how to do this?

Why won't you let me use export pdf?

I have a subscription to export pdf and now I can't use it. Why is that?Adobe ExportPDF (read only)

Hi fatboy327185,
I checked your account and don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to log in to ExportPDF. What happens when you try to log in directly to https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf?
(If you're trying to log in from Reader, please make sure that you have the most current version by choosing Help > Check for Updates. Earlier versions could make logging in to ExportPDF difficult.)

DPS: pinch and zoom function not working on all pages within folio (v30 tools using the pdf setting). What would cause some pages to pinch and zoom fluidly, while other pages appear a bit sticky? Could it be a button on the wrong layer?

What would cause some pages in the same folio to pinch and zoom fluidly, while other pages appear a bit sticky? Could it be a button on the wrong layer that's not allowing the pinch and zoom to work?
I do have a "go to state" button that enlarges graphic to full page on the page. Could this be cancelling the pinch and zoom functionality? Would a box with text wrap ON affect the ability to pich and zoom? What else may be causing this?

I thought Firefox automatically converted docx files to Word. Nope.

When opening script attachments from my audition site, when I come on a .docx file, I have to have it converted to Word so I can print it out...and I thought F'fox did that automatically. I'm using Windows 7. I need something that will automatically or easily change .docx into Word or text. Any help? Thanks.

Hi,
For Firefox to recognize formats other than those related to web pages, you would have to install the plugin for the particular format. For previous Office versions, please see [http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=27106 this]. If MS Office is not installed on the system, installing [https://www.libreoffice.org/ LibreOffice] may also help to open Office formats directly. The installed plugins would be listed in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' > '''Plugins'''.

I have a paid "Adobe Export PDF, Annual" subscription, so why can't I convert a Word Document to PDF? It keeps asking me to do an upgrade.

How can I cancel a subscription to Adobe Export PDF which didn't work for my application?

I purchased Adobe Export PDF because I needed to convert an incoming Pdf file to word. It is the only time I would ever use this program.... The conversion did not work because there was handwriting on the document (which I understand would negate the conversation). How can I cancel this purchase? I do not need the program.
