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?

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.

  • 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?

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • Hi, am trying to convert pdf into word. I have 30 days trial, however, everytime i try to convert it's asking to subscribe, Why is that, what is the purpose of the free trial?

    Hi, am trying to convert pdf into word. I have 30 days trial, however, everytime i try to convert it's asking to subscribe, Why is that, what is the purpose of the free trial?

    Hi oj1,
    Since you mention a free trial, I'm guessing that you have an Acrobat trial (Adobe doesn't offer free trials of the Acrobat.com online services).
    If you do have Acrobat, you can use the Save As command in that application to save directly to Word format.
    Please let us know how it goes.

  • Having problems converting pdf to word. I'm not able to convert the file, what do I need to do?

    having problems converting pdf to word. I'm not able to convert the file, what do I need to do?

    Hi prates77,
    I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble converting files. Are you receiving the conversion error regardless of the file that you try to convert? Does the error occur whether you use the web interface, or convert via Reader? And an odd question: how many files do you have stored in your Acrobat.com account? We have seen reports of this error when there are a large number of files stored in the root folder of your Acrobat.com account.
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
    Best,

  • I have a subscription, yet when I attempt to convert PDF to Word I am asked to buy a subscription.

    I have a subscription.  Yet, when i attempt to convert PDF to Word, I am asked to buy a subscription.  What explains this?

    You should not have had to purchase ExportPDF if you have a copy of Adobe Acrobat XI installed on your computer.
    Open Adobe Acrobat XI (not acrobat.com!)
    From there, open the PDF file that you want to convert
    Choose Tools > Content Editing > Export File to Microsoft Word Document (See image, below).
    Click Settings to turn on optical character recognition (OCR) if your PDF contains scanned text.
    Name the Word file and save it in a desired location.

    What are the new terms for renewal of payment for converting pdf to word?

    Hi joannep59572680,
    The terms haven't changed recently. ExportPDF subscriptions renew annually, unless your turn off Auto Renewal before your renewal date.
    Do you have a specific concern about your subscription?

  • Does Adobe have a product to convert PDF to Digital Brochure - HTML5 I believe.  Not EPUB because this takes specific software to open.

    Does Adobe have a product to convert PDF to Digital Brochure - HTML5 I believe.  Not EPUB because this takes specific software to open.

    Possibly naïve in terms of the skills required in what your talking about, but what I’m referring to is done by literally dozens of software companies and is commonly referred to as a digital brochure.  Here are a few:
    www.epageview.com<http://www.epageview.com>
    www.inhousedigitalpublishing.com<http://www.inhousedigitalpublishing.com>
    www.digital-brochure.com<http://www.digital-brochure.com>
    http://www.3dissue.com/
    So what I’m looking for is an Adobe solution similar to these solutions.
