When I convert a file from PDF to word it is all in characters how do I get it in english text

Please could someone help me with a converted file. I have bought the adobe acrobat and tried to convert my PDF to word and it just comes up with characters how to I get it in normal text?

Hello,
because you wrote in the Reader forum, so I think we talk about it, or? In my case I can change the text there (screenshot of my German AR):
I hope the image is selfexplanatory and I understood you in the reight way. If not please come back to set right.

  • When I converted a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How can I solve this problem?

    When I tried to convert a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How do I solve this problem?  I don't know how to change it from Read Only.

    Dear Sara
    Thank you very much for sending the converted file.  Yes, I am able to edit it - that will be very useful to me and I appreciate your help.
    Referring to your previous message when you said you'd converted via Acrobat and not Acrobat.com, I'm converting via Acrobat.com because that's the only option that is shown (how do I convert via Acrobat? - perhaps that would be more successful).  I'm using the Export PDF website, and the OCR is enabled to "Recognize text in English UK".  However, I've just tried converting a different LPA pdf form, this time for Health & Welfare https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/245571/LPA114_He alth_welfare_LPA.pdf and again I have the same problem as before.  I've altered it from "Read only" and thought I'd then be able to enter text, but "Drawing Tools" is shown in the pane and I'm unable to enter anything onto the form - everything appears to be in images.  Also, the lettering on the heading of' page 1 has become jumbled, with the word "Public" overlaying the word "Guardian."  Any suggestions as to what it is I'm doing wrong would be welcome - I don't like to be beaten!

  • Can you please tell me what to do when I change a file from PDF to word and it comes up with headers

    Can you you please tell me what to do when I change a file from PDF to word and it comes up with headers and footers. I do not want the headers and footers but I need the information so that changes can be made in them  - There are over 80 pages in this document and every page had a header and footer. The document did not have any headers and footers when it was first typed out.

    Good day,
    Try converting the document to a .doc format instead of .docx. 
    If that doesn't resolve the issue, please share the file with us via the File Conversion Issue form.  Be sure to reference this forum thread in your description so we can circle back on the issue.
    Kind regards,

    Hi M & B P,
    Please give the following a try:
    If you're converting via the ExportPDF website, log out, clear the cache, and then log back in.
    If you're converting from within Reader, choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version.
    Please let us know how it goes. If you're still having problems, please let us know how you're converting, what browser you're using, and whether you're on Mac OS and Windows. We'll do some deeper digging if need be.
    Best,

  • Why do I continue to receive an error msg when converting files from pdf to Word?

    Why do I continue to receive an error msg when converting pdf files to Word?

    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.

    I am using Adobe Reader with paid up service through May 2015.  When I attempt to convert a file either to PDF or from PDF, I get the error message, "An error occurred while trying to access the service".  What do I need to do to get access to the service I have paid for?

    Please see "Error occurred when trying to access this service" when logging on to Acrobat.com.

  • I can't get my headers to appear on pdf when i convert the file from numbers

    I have recently created an invoice document using Numbers and when I export it to a pdf document the headers and footers don't appear on the pdf document. I am using OSX 10.9.4.  How do I get the headers and footers to appear on my pdf document?
    I also get blank additional pages in my pdf document and I don't know how to get rid of these either.
    Any help greatly appreciated
    Thanks

    Hi Bootface,
    Instead of Export to PDF, Try Menu > File > Print...
    That will open Print Setup where you can see and edit the Page Headers and Page Footers.
    Click on Print... (bottom right of the Print Setup panel) then in the Print Dialogue click on the PDF Pop-Up (bottom left).
    Choose Open PDF in Preview or Save As PDF
    Your Page Headers and Page Footers will be included.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • I am trying to convert a file from pdf. I can't see it after I hit convert to word and view converted files. How do I know if I have a subscription? Adobe is on my mac dashboard.

    How do I tell if I have already paid for a membership? When I try to convert a pdf file to word, it looks like it is processing the task, but then I can't find the converted file when it says view converted file. Huh? Adobe is on my mac dashboard, I have had an account but can't see the results . . . thanks.

    Hi subscription question,
    I've checked your account; it looks like you tried to place two separate orders this morning, but it doesn't appear that either went through. However, it does sound as though you've been able to convert a file successfully. What happens when you log in to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files? Do you see your converted file there? All converted files are automatically stored in your online account, even when you convert from within Reader.
    Best,
