Why can't i convert a PDF to word - I used to be able to.

Why can't i convert a PDF file to word?

Hi,
It seems it was working fine earlier.
It might be possible problem is file specific.
Did you check with different files?
Is it showing any error while you are converting?
Regards,
Florence

  • Why can't I open a PDF in Word?  I have Microsoft Office:Mac 2011

    Why can't I open a PDF document in Word.  I have Microsoft Office:Mac 2011 installed because I have to email PDF and word documents to my clients.  Please help. 
    I currently have been viewing them in Preview.  Is that the only way? 

    Word is a text processor, not a PDF viewer. You can embed a PDF document in a Word document, but that's pretty much it. Besides Preview there are numerous third-party applications that can also view PDFs such as Adobe Reader.

  • Why can't I convert my PDF to a Word Document?

    I've purchased the necessary/recommended software at 19.99 in order to convert this PDF document into a word document.  The document is large--53.3MB, and yet the stated "limit is 100MB, so it should work.  All of the computer software matches the "troubleshooting" page, and yet when I try to convert, it either goes on indefinitely (I let it go overnight--9+ hours and it still wasn't done!) or after about 5-10 minutes it says "An Unknown Error Occured" and kicks me back to the upload page.  What's going on? 

    The PDF format by definition does not allow you to make changes to the file. If you happen to have the Pro Version of Adobe's Acrobat software you can start to edit.
    One POSSIBLE solution is to see if you can select portions of the document and cut and paste to a WORD document. If you try to select an area and you get the whole form, you are pretty much out of luck.. then you need to go back to Daves suggestion of finding it on another forum that DOES allow for changes.
    Also, you may try this tutorial about how to convert PDF files to Word (doc) . Once they're converted, you can open the files Microsoft Word or a compatible word processor.
    Hope it can do you a favor.

  • I have a subscription to AdobeExport. Why can't I convert a .pdf to .ppt?

    I'm wanting to convert a .pdf to a .ppt. In the file under tools it says I can do that but when I press convert it takes me to Adobe and there is no option to do so. I have an active subscription.

    You will need PDF Pack to convert to Powerpoint; see https://new.acrobat.com/en_us/products/pdf-pack/benefits.html

  • Why can't I convert a PDF document to Word?

    I just recently purchased the Adobe system in order to be able to easily convert PDF documents to Word. After successfully enrolling, I got a side screen that provide the steps to make the conversion. It seemed simple enough although I kept getting error messages and was unable to process the task.  What am I missing?

    Hi Jennifer,
    How to convert a PDF file to Word:
    Open a file in Acrobat XI.
    Choose Tools > Content Editing > Export File to Microsoft Word Document.
    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.
    Please let me know if you get any error following the above steps.

  • Why will it not convert Russian pdf to word doc?

    I am trying to convert a russian language pdf to word doc, unsuccesfully.
    Can it be done?

    Hi Ztilde,
    The ExportPDF online service doesn't include Russian in its language options for OCR. However, Acrobat does. You can try a free 30-day trial of Acrobat. Please see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html   for more information.

  • 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?

    why can I not convert pdf into word file?

    This is not a feature of Adobe Reader. You'll need either Acrobat or a subscription to one of the web-based services that Adobe offers (like PDF Pack) to do it.

  • Why can i not convert a form to PDF when I have an active account and it wants me to sign up for an upgrade?

    Why can i not convert a form to PDF when I have an active account and it wants me to sign up for an upgrade? This just started!!!!!!!!

    Hi EdAAK,
    I've checked your account, and see no issues with your subscription. So, if you're using a web browser, please log out, clear the browser cache, and then log back in to https://cloud.acrobat.com. And, if you're using Reader, make sure that you're logged in—you should see your name listed in the upper-right corner. If not, click the Sign In link and then sign in with your user name and password.
    Please let us know how it goes.

  • Why can't IOS users create PDF files anymore?

    WHy can I no longer create PDF documents from my IPad?  I used to be able to use this feature, now it is gone!  Why can't IOS users access this feature?

    Hi Timo,
    The Create PDF feature is part of Adobe PDF Pack (the paid subscription service) and is used to convert a non-PDF file format to PDF.
    I see that the "Getting Started" PDF document is opened in the screenshot above.  You cannot convert a PDF document to a PDF document.
    The error message is trying to tell you that you need to open the "supported format" (e.g. Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, RTF) then tap Create PDF to convert it to a PDF document.
    Please take a look at the following document about Adobe PDF Pack (which also includes Export PDF).
    Adobe PDF Pack verwenden
    Do you actually want to covert a document to PDF using Create PDF?   If not, please let us know what you are trying to do so that we can assist you.  Thank you.

  • Why can't I print a pdf from my mac pro to my printer?

    why can't I print a pdf from my mac pro to my printer?

    Don't know! You'll have to give us more details of what's happening when you try. Can you print other documents OK? When you try to print, does the printer icon appear in the dock - click on it and see if there are any printer messages.

  • Why can I not print a PDF from an email?

    Why can I not print a PDF from an email any longer?

    Can you explain in better detail?
    Is it when you open the file attachment and attempt to Print?
    Is it right-mouse clicking and attempting to Print?
    Is it when you print the email itself and expect the attachment to Print?
