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?

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.

Converting from PDF to Word doc: Text in Fields disappears. What to do?

Hi,
I have a PDF template I filled out, for the cover of my thesis, which included 3 fields. I am using the trial version of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, and saved the filled in template as a new PDF. So far, so good. However, I need to covert the PDF into Word. When I do so, and open the new Word doc, the text I filled in is gone. Help?
Best,
Sari

Hi hamsa142,
Is this problem specific to one file, or does it happen with any file that you convert to PDF? How was the PDF created (using what application)?
For starters you may want to disable OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community.

How come all of a sudden when I convert from ExpertPDF to Word, the new Word document is empty! Another one I tried was all garbled. Where did the first one go????

I converted to Word from ExportPDF and now my new file is empty?????? Where did everything go??????

Hi professionalshelley,
Did this occur with a single file?
Please let me know the exact workflow you are following.
Are you trying to access the service from within Reader? If so, please make sure that you have the most current version by choosing Help > Check for Updates (the error you describe can occur with other versions of Reader). If you're accessing it from a website, clear the browser cache and try logging in again. Also, make sure that you're using a supported web browser (System requirements | Acrobat.com).

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

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,

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?

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.

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.
