When I convert PDF to word I cannot rotate it to edit. Changing portrait to landscape does not rotate imported document.
@
Hi barbarar,
Are you converting via the ExportPDF online service, or Adobe Acrobat?
You mention rotating before conversion--if you're using ExportPDF via Adobe Reader, you can rotate the view, but that doesn't actually affect the page itself (that requires Acrobat).
In the converted document, are you able to select text? I'm wondering if the table is being treated as an image?
Would you be willing to share this document with me, so I can look at it here? If so, you could post to Acrobat.com and send a link to the file. Let me know!
Best,
Sara

Cannot convert pdf to word - just spins and says retrievin current session status - has been doing it for days
Hi da522811,
Are you still having trouble converting files? It sounds as though you may be trying to convert via Reader, is that correct? If so, please try logging out, and then logging back in. You may need to log out via the web interface at https://cloud.acrobat.com if you don't have access to the Sign Out button in Reader.
Please let us know how it goes.

I need help on how to fix this or my purchase is not worth it if I have to go in and type all of the words in myself
Hi Didier1964,
I was able to replicate the issue at my end.
It seems to me that the issue is with the way the PDF has been created.
It seems that the fonts are not embedded correctly.
Please post your query in Acrobat forums for further support & troubleshooting the font issue as it might be a bug.

Hi,
I am on the verge of deleting Firefox from my computer as it has wasted hours of my time, and none of the online trouble-shooting answers are of any help.
Until recently I could open PDF files in my browser window, and today its impossible to open any pdf file, it will not even download if I choose to download it.
This issue has been going on and off for nearly a year, and I downloaded Nitro PDF add-on to solve it previously as the Adobe reader add-on didn't do anything. Today In the options menu of applications where I can select the program I want to open the PDF files with I can no longer find the NitroPDF reader as an option, so I choose the Adobe add-on and no matter how many re-starts it refuses to initiate any PDF files, all I get is a open and empty new tab.
Internet explorer opens PDF files fine, so I know its not computer related.
I am running Windows Vista Ultimate, Firefox Version 19.0.
If there is a way of fixing this, please help because currently I am at the end of my patience.
Regards,
EmreHey thanx for the help, it worked like a charm.
I think firefox changed the application lay out, as I used to be able to choose my PDF opener from the list at " Adobe Acrobat Forms Document' where I could choose Nitro-PDF reader, but it has now moved all the way to the bottom like you suggested to the obvious place of "Portable Document Format" section.
If someone didn't tell me , I wouldn't have scrolled all the way down to be able to find it... it really should be with all its cousins up the top...
Cheers again.. -
Does the Retirement of WorkSpaces impact online services for converting pdf to word?
I occasionally use Adobe to convert PDF files to Word or Excel files. I am wondering whether the recent widely distributed email on retirement of Workspaces is relevant to me. Is the retirement of workspaces relevant to me if I am using the Adobe online service to convert PDF to Word or Excel files? I ask this question because I do not know whether Adobe may be using Workspaces in the background whenever I request a file conversion.
No, this retirement does not affect ExportPDF.

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? -

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.

Error when I sign in to the Convert PDF to Word feature
When I sign in to the Convert PDF to Word feature, after I enter my password I get a message "An error occurred while signing in" and the feature locks up, giving the same message if I use the "convert" button, can anyone help with this. Adobe Support sent 3 emails to reset my password all of which timed out before I could get to them. I have changed my password and it is still the same. Help please.
Hello Kathie,
Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
Please let me know if you have tried converting any other PDF to word with Reader.
Alos, please sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials. Click on 'ExportPDF' tab and upload the PDF that you want to convert to Word.
Let me know if this converts fine.
Hope to hear from you.

I have Adobe Reader XI with the package that allows me to send pdfs and convert pdfs to Word. When I open a pdf and try to search the search shows no matches even though the word I am searching for is in the document. Any suggestions how to search?
Once again, my thanks for your assistance. If I may impose on your generosity one more time, if I understand you correctly if I create a document on Word or WordPerfect, print it and scan it to create a pdf, the search function will not work. But, if I create the pdf document in Word the search function will work. Unfortunately, I am not sure how I create a pdf document in Word other than by printing it and scanning it. Could you please explain.

Cannot convert pdf to word, then open.
I recently purchased adobe to convert pdf to word. I go through all the steps, the file is supposedly converted and saved into a downloads folder. From there I cannot open the file, or save it to another file, as is suggested. The same 'prompt' box just keeps popping up and I can never actually open the file. What am I missing?
Sara:
A little more cumbersome but going to the AdobeAcrobat.com works.
Thanks for the help.
Have a great day.

When attempting to convert pdf to word doc, I continually get "An error occurred while signing in" despite the fact that I'm already signed in. Please help if you can?
Hi lorrelaws,
Do you receive that error when you try to sign in via Reader? If so, try signing in via the web interface. Did that do the trick?
Let us know how it goes.

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.
