Why am I unable to edit documents converted from PDFs using acrobat?

I Purchased the acrobat for converting PDFs for ease of editing. I have failed to edit the converted documents and the document is substantially corrupted on conversion. Help!

Hey arn051,
How are you trying to convert documents from PDFs and in which format?
Please tell me which Acrobat version are you using?
Is there any specific message that arrives when you try edit the doc?

    How do you edit document text in pdf in Acrobat Pro 11 Mac? I know I can do it in the Windows version, but can't find same tool in Mac.

    Should be the same but it isn't. I have included a screenshot of my tools choices in both my Mac and PC versions - they are totally different.

    Can I edit anything in a pdf using Acrobat XI Pro?

    And the degree of effective editing may be an issue. Editing is not a recommended task in Acrobat, but instead edit in the original doc and recreate the PDF.

  • Why can I not download a file converted from pdf to word

    I cannot download a document converted to word from a pdf. the error message says the internet site is not available. seems odd, given that I am looking at the converted document. Any idea whats wrong?

    Hi roger.edi,
    Are you still having trouble downloading that convert file? If so, please log out, clear the browser cache, and then log back in to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files.
    If you're still unable to download the file, please try from a different web browser.
    Let us know how it goes!

  • Word documents converted from pdf not legible

    How do I convert a pdf document to a word document that is legible and in the same table format?

    Sounds like you are using one of the online services, like the cloud. This forum is for the stand-alone Acrobat and I have no clue. The cloud or related forum should provide better info.

  • How to add/change Job Options when saving a FrameMaker document as a PDF using Acrobat 9

    If you are logged on as a domain user you could have a problem if you want to add or edit .joboption files in Distiller 9 when it is opened by FrameMaker.
    After installing Acrobat 9 the action of saving a FrameMaker document as a PDF automatically starts Distiller 9 which then uses the "Job Options" files that are located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings. Unless some changes have been made to the "Security" settings of the "Adobe" folder and the "Adobe PDF" folder under "All Users" it will not be possible to add or edit ".joboption" files in the "Settings" folder located in that "Adobe PDF" folder.
    This can be confusing because when Distiller 9 is started separately, from Programs, it then uses the job options located in your own user folder (C:\Documents and Settings\NLPW\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings). In your own user folder (in my case: NLPW) you can add or edit the job option files.
    In order to be able to add or edit job option files under "All Users" you must be included in the "All Users" list and have the appropriate "Permissions" security setting. To set this, right click on the "Adobe" folder (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe) and select "Properties", then click on the "Security" tab and add yourself to the list. Finally, (important) check the "Full Control" box under "Allow" in the permissions field. Repeat this procedure on the "Adobe PDF" folder (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF). Now you have the ability to add or edit ".joboption" files located in the "Settings" folder and these will be available when Distiller is started by FrameMaker.

    Thank you so much for that tip. I don’t have exactly the same set-up (FrameMaker 8, Acrobat 8 Professional), but changing the permissions as you describe fixed the problem of not being able to save or change Distiller job options which has been bothering me for a while.

  • How do I edit/convert a pdf using Acrobat Pro?

    I am trying to convert/edit(not sure of the proper term to relay my dilemna; my experience with Acrobat Pro and pdf's is limited.) a pdf file.  I want to use edit some of the content on the document.  I am aware of the "typewriter" tool and have used this in completing pdf documents fo "fill in" the blanks (ex: completing an application); however, this will not work when I try to edit the actual content.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?  Keep in mind you HAVE to use very "simple" language when explaining to me how I do this, ha!
    Thank you for any suggestions you may have.

    Maybe you need to remove your PDF security so then you can edit it. Adobe Acrobat cannot edit the limited PDF files.
    Remove the PDF security
    I am now using Adreamsoft PDF eidtor, With this smart PDF edit software, you can edit the text, images, annotation, layouts and pages of a PDF file. And you can also edit a PDF file by setting security password.

  • Why can I not Convert a Microsoft Office Document to a PDF using the Context Menu?

    Why can I not Convert a Microsoft Office 2013 Document to a PDF using the options found in the Context Menu? (Ex: Convert to PDF, Combine Supported Files into PDF?)
    I updated to Acrobat XI PRO recently, but now i'm unable to combine or convert microsoft word docs to PDF.
    In Adobe Acrobat X I had this feature below, and it would combine Microsoft Office Documents all into a single PDF. Now I no longer have this issue in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. It seems like it was program named Adobe Elements that was running the conversion.

    Ajlan. That page is showing as not available. Would the fix apply to Adobe Acrobat X and XI?

  • Unable to edit document using "Edit with Word" option

    Hi All,
    i am having an issue with Office web apps. i am using SharePoint 2013 and Office web apps 2013. all the configurations have been done successfully. but i have a different kind of issue.
    i am able to open documents in browser
    i am able to edit document using " edit with word/excel web" option
    but i am unable to edit document using "edit with word/excel" option
    i have Office 2010 installed on my local machine.
    do we need to have MS office of 2013 version? or is there anything missing from configuration part.
    Please help me.
    Thank You,
    Bhaskar.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you could not use the "edit with word/excel" option.
    I had tested the issue with the Office 2010, the option worked well.
    You don’t need to install the Office 2013 to use this option.
    What did you mean “but i am unable to edit document using "edit with word/excel" option
    Did you mean the option gray out? Did the issue occur in other browsers?
    You can use compatibility mode to check whether it works.
    Open IE->Tools->Compatibility View Settings
    You can also add the site into Trusted sites.
    Open the IE->Internet Options->Security->Sites->add the site into the Websites, then check whether it works.
    What's more, you can also use other browsers to check whether it works, such as Firefox, Chrome.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Unable to edit documents in InDesign CS4

    Hello,
    A work colleague has recently changed their laptop and installed CS4 - since the getting new computer he has been unable to edit documents (which are fine on my machine). He can select objects and reposition on the screen, but can't edit/delete. He can place the cursor and type new text, but can't edit existing text and is unable to move the cursor with the cursor keys.
    The objects are not on the master page or locked.
    Our Corporate IT has recently revoked all admin access to our own machines - could this affect InDesign? (No-one else seems to be effected)
    We have tried uninstalling/reinstalling and deleting the prefs, but to to avail.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hi Peter,
    Thanks for the reply.
    My colleague had CS4 installed on his previous machine and had been using it without problem for over a year - its only since receiving his new laptop that the issues have started.
    Unfortunately, I don't think setting up a new user account is really an option (it requires assistance from our parent company's IT dept.).
    Yes, we did follow the instructions in the link when replacing the prefs files.
    Regards,
    James

  • Unable to edit documents in Sharepoint 2013

    Hi,
    unable to edit documents in SP2013.while editing getting the following error.Please guide me on this.
    Thanks In advance

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that only
    one user could not edit documents in SP2013 with OWA.
    You can use compatibility mode to check whether it works.
    Open IE->Tools->Compatibility View Settings
    You can also add the site into Trusted sites.
    Open the
    IE->Internet Options->Security->Sites->add the site into the Websites, then check whether it works.
    What's more, you can also use other browsers to check whether it works, such as Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer 10.
    Check whether the user has permission to the documents.

  • Unable to edit documents after AVG installation

    I have a dual drive Toshiba laptop, which has been recntly updated from Vista to Windows 7. Windows 7 has taken up most of my C drive, so I have had to put programs onto the other data E drive. The other day I bought AVG ant-virus 2011 and put it onto my computer (data e drive). Since then, even after taking avg off, I am unable to edit documents on office Word or OpenOffice. it seems to be doing it to my external drive (that I have added) as well as now. Its strange since this only started as soon as i used AVG. Any suggestions what the problem could be? How it can be resolved.
    I really need some help, as my computer seems to be slowly dying! Tried to get in contact with AVG but they seem just to be ignoring the problem at the moment.
    Thanks for any help,

    Hi buddy,
    > Its strange since this only started as soon as i used AVG.
    In this case I would contact AVG directly if they can say something about this or if its a known issue. I never heard about this but AVG should know what to do now.
    I dont know what notebook you have but Im pretty sure its a software issue and it seems to be related to AVG
