  • Why does my Pdf convert into hieroglyphs in Word?

    Maybe you can give us some more details.
    Are you opening a pdf in Word? If so, are you doing it intentionally or are they just opening in Word when you double click.
    Or, are you exporting a pdf to a Word document and that Word document is messed up?
    More info you supply the better.

    Why does Acrobat Pdf converter file slow down my 2003, Windows  Word Program.  I only experience this problem when i convert a pdf file to a doc file.

    Hi Bill -- thanks for your reply!
    When I check the Document Properties on Acrobat I can see that the fonts used in the document (Cambria, Times and Windings) are listed as "Embedded Subset" in the Fonts panel. The machine it was created on did use an earlier version of OS X and an old version of Word, but it seems to have the proper fonts...

  • Every pdf file in my laptop has been converted into an unreadable Word file. Help!

    Every pdf file in my laptop has been converted into an unreadable Word file.
    This happened while I was trying to convert a large pdf file to Word using Adobe export pdf, which I purchased recently. When I try to export a large pdf file, I get a message "An error occurred while trying to access the service."
    The inability to convert a file from pdf to Word is an annoyance after I spent $19.95 for export pdf. But the making of all my pdf files unreadable is a disaster.

    I suspect that isn't connected. Start Adobe Reader, use File > Open for these PDFs. Do they open?  (I suspect it's just double clicking that does it, which isn't the only way or best way to open files).

  • PDF converted to a messy Word Doc, why is it so

    I just purchased PDF converter and tried to convert pdf to a Word doc and half of the document was jumbled up, I restarted my computer and did it again and the same thing happened. Does anyone know why this is happening, there is no point having the converter if I have to make up a whole new document

    Hi Sonia,
    I'd like to assist!
    Would you mind telling me more about your PDF? What type of document was it prior to becoming a PDF? Are there any graphics or pictures? Was it scanned?
    Looking forward to hearing back from you!
    Kind regards, Stacy

  • Unable to insert pdf object into 64-bit Word 2010

    I have always been able to insert pdf files into word documents.  However, when I upgraded to the 64-bit version of Word, I started experiencing the below issue.
    My setup is: Windows 7 64-bit, Word 2010 64-bit, Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro v9.4.7.
    When I attempt to insert a pdf file into Word, I receive the following message:
    "The program used to create this object is AcroExch.  That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding.  To edit this object, install AcroExch or ensure that any dialog boxes in AcroExch are closed."
    I have researched this issue a great deal. 
    Previously, I found a posting which specified some registry keys to delete.  I followed these directions and it worked.  But, after installing some updates, the issue is back and I am unable to find the post specifying the registry keys to remove.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Brandon

    Solution:
    Open Adobe Reader / Pro
    Go to Edit àPreferenceà General (LHS)àUncheck “Enable protected mode at startup”.
    Adobe Reader’s protected mode will be disabled
    Now try inserting Adobe document in Word, it will work.  

  • Unable to insert pdf object into ppt or word

    I am unable to insert a pdf object into Word or Powerpoint.  I have Adobe Reader 9.3 and Windows 7 MS Office 2010 64 bit.   Previously, I was able to perform this task without issue with the same software. 
    For word, I get:
    "The program used to create this object is AcroExch.  That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding.  The edit this object install AcroExch or ensure that any dialog boxes in AcroExch are closed". 
    For Powerpoint, I get:
    "The server application, source file, or item can't be found, or returned an unknown error.   You mayneed to reinstall the server application." 
    Was an update sent out that may have caused the issue? 
    Or is there a solution to resolve the issue?  The ony solution I have sound is Disabling Protect Mode which does not apply to this version of Reader. 
    Any help would be greately appreciated.  Thank you.

    There is another thread on this and seems to be an ongoing issue with neither Microsoft nor Adobe owning up to it.  What I did to work-around the issue is create a .zip file of the .pdf file which can then be put into the workd doc as an object file icon.  Worked for me.  Not the best solution but this has been ongoing since 2011, and this worked.

  • Why do my .pdf docs open in MS Word?

    My.pdf docs open in MS Word instead of Adobe Reader.

    Now I get a pop-up that says, “Adobe Reader could not open (name of file) because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn’t correctly decoded).”  These files opened OK before.  What gives?

  • Is it possible to convert several pdf files (into Excel or Word) at the same time ?

    I'd like to convert several pdf files (up to 500) into Excel at the same time. Is it possible ? How many files can Export PDF handle at the same time ?
    Thanks a lot for your answers,
    Sylvain

    Hi, Sylvain.
    This is a great idea! Currently, ExportPDF only can export 1 file at a time. (Acrobat can do a batch export using it's Action Wizard feature.)
    I added your idea to our idea list: http://forums.adobe.com/ideas/1499. If you'd like to see us add this feature, please go vote or add comment to this Idea on the idea list.

  • Why when I am converting a word doc into a PDF are some of the pages moving around. It appears to be

    Why when I am converting a 50 page word doc into a PDF using Acrobat XI Pro the pages are moving around.
    It appears to be happening in the places where the previous page is not a complete full page, just a half page.
    It is moving these pages up into the previous half page, but it is only moving them several lines into that page
    Which has totally distored my e-book.
    It is attaching all my pattern sheets at the very end of the file okay, etc.

    Also, to be more sure you get in the PDF what you are seeing in WORD, go to the print menu and select the Adobe PDF printer, then go back to editing. The is a feature of almost all word processors to reflow the document for best results with the attached printer. It is also one of the problems of using WORD forms that such form designers miss. If you don't like the reflow, many the Adobe PDF printer your default and always print to Acrobat. If you want it to go to a printer, then print from Acrobat to that printer and it should remain intact. The other way to avoid the reflow is to use a layout program like Publisher or InDesign.

  • Images in PDF file being converted into Word elements (e.g. tables and text boxes)

    A friend of mine has recently signed up to ExportPDF so that he can convert PDF format wiring diagrams into Word format.  On trying this the other day, we found that the wiring diagrams in the PDF file were being converted into elements of Word such as tables and text boxes.
    Is there any way to get the diagrams converted into pictures within the Word document so that they can be copied and pasted into other documents?  From looking at the limited settings panel to the right of the document in Reader I can't see it.

    Perhaps an application dedicated to converting PDF's to Word documents may get better results.
    Here's a free online converter I use with occasional success: http://www.pdftoword.com/

  • Why jsp is converted into servlet?

    hi,
    Why the jsp is converted into servlet in the container? reason? why cant is evalute as a jsp file itself? why did not they develope a seperate container for jsp?

    hi :-)
    Why the jsp is converted into servlet in the container? reason? why cant is evalute as a jsp file itself?
    JSP is an extension of servlet technology :-)
    why did not they develope a seperate container for jsp?
    Note: (an excerpt from a book)
    "Inside the JSP container is a special servlet called the page compiler.
    The servlet container is configured to forward to this page compiler all HTTP
    requests with URLs that match the .jsp file extension.
    This page compiler turns a servlet container into a JSP container.
    When a .jsp page is first called, the page compiler parses and compiles
    the .jsp page into a servlet class. If the compilation is successful,
    the jsp servlet class is loaded into memory. On subsequent calls,
    the servlet class for that .jsp page is already in memory; however, it could have been updated.
    Therefore, the page compiler servlet will always
    compare the timestamp of the jsp servlet with the jsp page. If the .jsp page
    is more current, recompilation is necessary. With this process, once
    deployed, JSP pages only go through the time-consuming compilation
    process once"
    For more info you can refer to the packages: javax.servlet.jsp and
    javax.servlet.jsp.tagext
    and also the two servlet packages: javax.servlet and javax.servlet.http
    you might be asking why refer to servlet packages? because JSP needs it :-)
    as i mention earlier, JSP is an extension of servlet technology.
    hope other's will also give answer about your question.
    regards,

    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.
