When I convert my PDFs into docs they are unreadable, formatting is messed up
When I convert my PDFx into docs they are unreadable and formatting is messed up.
Why pay $22 for a product that does not work?
Can this situation be remedied; how can I make it work?
The only thing that comes close is ExportPDF at $19.99 (with tax that could be about right) but it's an online subscription.
If that turns out to be what you have you'll want to take this to the ExportPDF forum rather than here.
It's at http://forums.adobe.com/community/exportpdf
Good luck.

I recently updated my softward on my computer. Now when I plug my devices into my computer on iTunes, they are not recognized and I cannot sync them.
Had the same problem. I initially reinstalled iTunes without removing the older files. Finally, I removed itunes, apple application support, apple mobile device support and apple software update. Downloaded a fresh iTunes instal file from the iTunes site. Everything is fine now.

Top Picture is while the program, bottom is when exported as a PDF
Hi Kathdepew,
You are checking the PDF in Preview, please look it at Adobe Reader/Acrobat. Preview is not a recommended soft-proofing application.
Also, check you PDF export settings, it seems the images are being down-sampled. To know better, export the PDF with "High quality presets" and then check.

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 text and change the font, it does not change it properly? This is making it impossible to amend.
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.
Best,

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!

Why does Acrobat Pdf converter file slow down my 2003, Windows Word Program. I only experience this problem when i convert a pdf file to a doc file.
Hi Bill -- thanks for your reply!
When I check the Document Properties on Acrobat I can see that the fonts used in the document (Cambria, Times and Windings) are listed as "Embedded Subset" in the Fonts panel. The machine it was created on did use an earlier version of OS X and an old version of Word, but it seems to have the proper fonts...

Converting a PDF into an Indesign doc.
Hello everybody,
Is it possible to convert a PDF into an Indesign File? I am using Indesign CS5.5
Thanks in advance for the help!
QntaDesignNo you can´t.
There´s couple of thing you can try, but I´m afraif none of them are quite perfect...
1) Open you PDF into Illustrator and copy/paste or drag&drop the content of the page into InDesign from there. Cons are; you can do only one page at the time and your text will be converted to outlines during the process
2) Save your PDF as RTF or Word document from Acrobat Professional and place resulting file to InDesign with File>Place commans. You probably have to redo most of the layout, but with correct settings you may be able to preserve text as editable mode and have some styles and graphic elements still after placing....
Steve´s suggestion is only deasent way to do that. -
Im trying to convert a PDF into an excel document and I keep getting an error message that reads "An error has occurred while trying to access the service". WHat am I doing wrong?
it seems my subscription had expired so I signed up again.. It was still having trouble so I repeated the sign up process again.. Then it worked perfectly.. Unfortunately, I think I just subscribed twice and need to cancel one of them. Ugh. Such a pain when I'm trying to get this project completed. I'll be canceling at least one of the subscriptions in the morning. Adobe is not my favorite company right now. None of this was intuitive. And trying to get help was an absolute waste of an hour.

Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?
Here's what I've found on the issue:
Pantone color definitions have changed (coinciding with CS6) — they are now "Pantone+" (I think that's what they're called). The "+" apparently means they're now LAB colors. Lab colors are not properly displayed in Preview (or in Finder previews) — they display as black (as far as I can tell, in all circumstances). I'm sure it's a tad more complicated than that, but that's the gist.
Now the bad news — nobody seems to know anything about a fix or workaround (unless you convert your PDFs to process — this might be a fix for sending to clients). It causes issues for me in AI files — being able to view them in the finder (with previews) is a HUGE time saver for my workflow... when they're all black, not so much.
In my chat with a director of product dev at Adobe, they placed the responsibility to fix on Apple (assuming Apple wants to support Pantone color definitions in their OS). -

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.

hi when I convert a pdf to word document I get a inccorect conversion, can any one please help me
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.
Regards,
Anubha
