When trying to convert a pdf file into a word doc I only get graphics but no text. What to do?

Hey hamsa142,
I think you are converting a scanned PDF to word.
You might need to run OCR first to make the text recognizable and then convert it to word.

How Do I convert a pdf file into a word doc

Do I need to download Creative Suit or Elements software?

Hi Enriquillo,
You need to use Adobe Acrobat to accomplish this.

How do i convert a pdf file to a word doc in order to make changes

How do I convert a pdf file into a word doc in order to make chnages?

You need Acrobat and can then use File --> Save As... --> Microsoft Word. Just don't expect miracels. PDFs aren't meant for editing and you may end up with clumps of text and lose all formatting and may have to rebuild the document completely.

HI Aijan,
I am trying to convert a pedigree chart so I can put it in my family's genealogy book. I need to make some corrections on it. It was created on a MAC and I am on a PC. This may be part of the problem. I am on Windows 8 on a 1-year old Samsung computer laptop. I have Adobe Reader XI on it. It says that I can convert a PDF to an Excel or Word file for editing.
It looks like computer code to me.
Here is the first page of what I am copying:
Thanks for your help.

I am trying to add a pdf file into my website which must be readable to all but must not be download able to anybody

I am trying to add a pdf file into my website which must be readable to all but must not be download able to anybody.
The document is about motivational topics likes short stories and quotes and the website is [link removed]
If anybody is already using such interface please suggest.

There is absolutely no way to stop any file you put on the internet from being downloaded. That's how the internet works.
Digital Rights Management can control who can OPEN a copy of a file and when. If you are a big company with 5-6 figure budget, this can be interesting.

Hi there,
It sounds like there may be an issue with the quality of the PDF. Not all PDFs are created equal, and especially those created from scanned documents can be problematic if the scan quality isn't the best. Is there a dark background on the PDF, or stray marks or smudges?
You can try converting with OCR disabled at outlined in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community. But, while that's a good test to find out where the problem lies, you'll end up with a Word document that isn't editable, so it's not an optimal solution.
Please let us know how it goes.

IE crash and closed down when trying to include a PDF file into a web page

Hi,
I am trying to include pdf file into my webpage by using
tag. The whole page is created dynamically on the run-time. I am using IFrame to contain all the controls (included the object). The system works fine in the WindowXP but when I run it under Vista, the whole IE crash and IE closed by itself.
I have tried to debug the problem and it gave me the following messages:

Could anyone shed some light into this issue.

Thanks in advance

You have two PDF "reader" plugins installed. Try disabling one of them. Tools > Addons > Plugins

I am trying to convert Tamil PDF file to MS Word.

Hi. I am trying to convert Tamil PDF into MS Word using Adobe Reader XI. I have installed the required fonts.
In the convert option, I don't see Tamil language as an option.(OCR).
I see the fonts in MS Word.
What are the steps.?
Thanks
Ravi

I doubt that Tamil language is supported in ExportPDF; it's not even supported in Acrobat.

It sounds like you have downloaded the Acrobat trial, is that correct? If so, you can save directly to Word format by opening your PDF in Acrobat, and choosing File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document.
