When Converting PDF I Get Lines???

I have been trying to use the save as option in Acrobat X and whether I save to Word or image a get a bunch of horizontal lines in the resulting files.  What am I doing wrong?
Brian

It may be that is the way the file is structured. You do have a few choices in retaining formatting and such. Try the various choices.
When you say image, is the file you are converting a scanned image or such. In that case, there is no formatting and you should just have images. I have seen WORD 2007 do some weird things to image and this may be one of them. You might try to use the export all images under the advanced menu>document processing in AA8. They tend to move things around and am not sure you will find it there. If those images are fine, then try to import them to WORD and see if it is a WORD problem.

  • Why do i always get conversion failure when converting pdf files to xls in exportpdf program?

    I have had export pdf for months.  I cannot export pdf files to excel files.  It always says conversion failure. Anyone have any idea why this is happening?  I am so frustrated!  This was supposed to make my payroll reports easier, but it has not helped at all.

    Hi denise/sharon,
    I can understand your frustration. Are you converting via the ExportPDF website, or from within Adobe Reader? Does the conversion failure occur every time that you try to convert a file (has it ever worked for you)?
    Since you're talking about payroll, I'm assuming that you're accessing ExportPDF from a corporate computer. You may want to check with your IT department to make sure there are no firewall/proxy settings that limit your access to the Internet.
    Also, make sure that you're using a supported web browser. You can find a list here: System Requirements | Adobe Acrobat Pro and Online Services
    Finally, if you're using Reader, you can try disabling OCR (optical character recognition) by following the steps in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel.
    Please let us know how it goes.

  • ExportPDF does a poor job when converting pdf tables to MS Excel tables - Any advice?

    ExportPDF does a poor job when converting pdf tables to MS Excel tables.
    The resulting file had several lines merged into one and had strange font sizes and line heights and widths.
    If needed, I can send both files to show what happened.
    I am using Adobe Reader 10.1.4, with Adobe ExportPDF (unknown version, bought Oct 4, 2012), MS Excel for Mac 2011, version 12.2.2 (120421) on a MacBook Air with Mac OS X version 10.7.4.

    I have the same problem. I would like to convert bank statements to Excel but am only interested in the transaction history. Is it possible to select only certain parts of the document as a template for other conversions?

  • Why does all alphabets change to capital when converting pdf to word using Adobe Acrobat XI

    Why does all alphabets change to capital when converting pdf to word using Adobe Acrobat XI

    Word 2013 uses its own pdf creator engine as far as I know. The step I performed were:
    1 - In the save settings I told word to embed fonts (sorry for the language, I have the Italian client)
    2 - Export from Word -> Save As -> .pdf adding also the table of contents/index
    N.B. I cannot use PDF/A, and in any case it doesn't embed the font
    A working solution is to use Acrobat XI to convert it or print with Adobe PDF printer, results:
    The problems are 2:
    1 - It doesn't create any bookmark and doesn't create links from the table of images to the linked images
    2 - Images, also with the preset "High Quality Printing" customized using "No compression", are really ugly and if you zoom a bit more than 100% they totally be s**t. It wasn't that way with PDF created by word.
    In the end, or I find they way to open the pdf created by word and embedd the missing font, or I find a way to make Acrobat XI creating bookmarks from the word file.
    Suggestion?

  • Why do I keep getting an error message when converting PDF to word?? help please!

    I just subscribed to the ExportPDF but is not working. I keep getting an error message saying "Conversion Failure" when trying to convert PDF file to word! I don't know what to do.

    HI tatamene,
    I'm sorry that you're having trouble converting a document.  For starters, have you verified that your account is active? (You can check by logging in to www.adobe.com and checking under My Subscriptions and Services). Aside from that, I'll need a little more info to get to the bottom of your problem.
    Are you trying to convert the file from within Reader, or directly via the ExportPDF website?
    What operating system and browser are you using?
    How large is the file that you're trying to convert? (There's a file-size limit of 100 MB.)
    Is the computer that you're using networked?
    Do other files convert without error?
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
    Best,

  • "artifacts" appear when converting PDF to CMYK

    When using the Preflight "fixup" to convert a PDF to CMYK only (SWOP), I sometimes end up with jpeg-ish-looking artifacts being added around the edges of logos and in photos. I've been troubleshooting this for a while, changing settings and such, and I think I've determined that it happens with PDFs that have been generated using a lossy compression method. I have figured out a couple of workarounds, but since I process a lot of PDFs (sent to me by others) I'd really like to figure out a way to get the fixup to work when I "Analyze and fix"! Anyone have any ideas??
    -Jodie

    Right, Jodie  . . . I may have a work around for you. Instead of running the preflight bit, use TOOLS, Action Wizard. I have attached an action which you must import using Edit Actions under the Action Wizard menu. Once you have imported the action called DAVID, you can choose to run it on a single pdf, or choose a folder of pdf's. You can edit the action and choose to save the converted pdf/s to another location or overwrite. All your users can import this action so you know that everyone is using the same format. This action checks and converts the pdf to CMYK and as a PDF/X-1A, which is a better format and embeds all fonts and extra bits and is better for a repro/print arena. I have tested it on the file you gave and no artefacts!!! If you want to know more on Action Wizard, go to this link.

  • When converting pdf to tif, I sometimes get black boxes rather than text.

    This occurs with pdfs which are rendered one 'layer' at a time upon opening or panning, although I don't beleive they are layered.  No layers display in the navigation pane.  I don't know the original file format, could be dwg.  Do you know how to correct this, or does Adobe have a converter which will do the job correctly?  Thanks.
