When I convert a pdf to word it comes out garbled (can't use)

how do I fix this

Hi,
Could you give me more information regarding the problem?
1. Which application/service did you use for converting the PDF file?
2. What kinds of font type and font encoding are used in the PDF file?
(Please check this in File > Properties > Fonts in Reader/Acrobat)
Thank you,
Tomoko

Hi Nakul ,
Could you please explain me the work flow ?How are you trying to convert the PDF?
Is it happening with all the PDF' or any specific one ?
What exact version of Acrobat are you using?
Did you try repair your Acrobat ?If not please try repairing it and see if that works for you .
You might also try to check the update for your version of Acrobat .
Also ,you can go to preferences and under documents see if the first option .i.e Restore last view settings when Reopening documents is check marked or not .
Please try the above mentioned steps and see if that fixes the issue.

Hey nikolays87340013,
Thanks for your reply.
Please let me know what version of Adobe Reader you are using.
You might need to check for updates as well as repair installation from Reader Help menu.
While converting scanned PDF into Word, OCR runs automatically and its quality largely depends upon the quality of scanned images and clarity of characters in the PDF.
Please try the same conversion online after signing in at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf" and check if the conversion quality varies.
Let me know.

When I convert a PDF to Word it fails....

Using Trial version of Acrobat Pro 11.0.0 on a Macbook Retina Pro Mid 2012 on Mavericks 10.9.3
Ive tried using the Tools box and the File menu to convert a PDF file to a Word document but each time it fails.
The pop window says "Save as failed to process this document. No file was created."
Ive watched the videos and can't see any different ways of doing this.@
The pdf file is 787.5MB as it includes media and type and is the basis for a book i wish to upload, but I need to make some adjustments.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi karenta,
Can you please tell me what the exact error message is?
Do you know how the PDF file was created (what application created it)? Are you able to convert other PDF files?
Please tell us a bit more about the document that you're trying to convert.
In the meantime, you try clearing the browser cache, or using a different web browser.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,

How do I fix the signature on the bottom of my letter? When I converted from pdf to Word it messed it up?

I cannot figure out how to fix the signature on my document....I converted the doc from pdf to Word and now the signature is all messed up!

Hey Keli,
Please let me know whether you are using Adobe Reader or signed up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/fillsign" for the same.
If possible, please share the file with me so that I can check at my end.
I have sent you a private message with my Adobe ID details.
Hope to hear from you.

When I converted my PDF to Word the text was illegible.

After downloading a PDF to Word conversion.. all of the text appeared as symbols or code. Although it is not in a readable format, the text pacement is there as well as the images. Why is that? How do I fix it?

Every time I try to convert from PDF to word it comes up with an error on my account.

Varför kommer detta felmeddelande upp hela tiden då jag försöker konvertera till word "An error accured while trying to access the service"

Hi,
Adobe Export Pdf supports conversion of Pdf files up to 100 MB.
May i know if your error is related to the file size or something else?
Is it happening with this file only or having the same problem with another file as well?
You can try with another browser.

Converted how? If using ExportPDF, then you should be able to download it from acrobat.com by using your Adobe ID.

When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the test and change the font, it does not change it properly?

Hi Janedance1,
If the PDF that you converted already has searchable text, please try disabling OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel. (If the PDF was created from a scanned document and doesn't already have searchable text, disabling OCR isn't a great option, as the text won't be searchable/editable in the converted Word doc.)
Please let us know how it goes.

How do I convert from pdf to word? I see an option to do so, however, when I click on it, Ia box opens...

when I try to convert from pdf to word, a box opens and suggests I am to click on (select) the file I want to convert. It sounds all well but it does not work. I really really just want my files back in word, all of them, no matter, because after having to reinstall windows 7 (done by techs) and me having to re-download all my HP drivers, and tools, and other software, which I imagine included adobe reader, now I see some pdf files won't open. It says, "access denied" and boy that really makes me wantt o scream. I am the ONLY user, it is my notebook, I am the administrator so I can't figure out why some files open and some don't. I can't ascertain any difference.
I would be grateful for any help. This has become just too exhausting. After reinstalling sooooooooo much, then to have to go through this with what is a free application? I say I think not.
This should NEVER happen with any free application and boy there is NO help to be found. They blow you off the phone fast telling you it's a free application. Then why are you putting in this kind of stuff that it won't open? This is NOT a shared notebook, it's mine. I am the only user, personal use.
HP probook, if anyone needs that info.
Please, will someone help?
I would be so grateful.
thanks,
Gina

Gee, Pat, this is a real big help.
Nobody could possibly think anyone would ask for help without first trying to fix the issue oneself. Or maybe you do. I have opened the file and looked under security. I have changed it to owner-notebook (which is what the techs called me) and clicked accept but geepers it didn't work.
Maybe someone else has an idea.
Take Ownership of a File or Folder
The above should be a link. At least I copied and pasted the link. I did what was stated in there. It isn't like brain surgery. But it is not working. I ended up being able to open some pdf files after transferring them from one partition category to another. I wish it was that easy as you seem to think.
Thanks for the help. Have a great year.

When I convert a PDF to a Word doc, it "converts" as a picture and I cannot edit the document. What can I do to get the PDF to convert properly?

Hi conversionnewbie,
Are you able to select the text in Word by triple-clicking inside the text box? (Sometimes text selections can be tricky in converted files.) If you can't select the text, then I'm guessing that the PDF was created from a scanned file (so the text becomes images). Make sure that OCR is enabled when you convert the file to Word. OCR is enabled by default in the ExportPDF web interface, but can be disabled in Adobe Reader. If you're converting to Word from within Adobe Reader, make sure that OCR is enabled and that the correct language is selected:
Please let us know that works for you!

When I try to convert my .pdf to Word, I get a sidebar that has fields for: the name of my pdf file, the type of file I want to convert to (In my case, Word), and a button that says "Convert". My problem is that the "convert to" field isn't active. I can see the words "Microsoft Word" in pale gray, but when I click on the field, nothing happens.
