Why is my PDF to Word conversion unreadable ?

Why is my PDF to Word conversion  just code?

Could you copy and paste a section of text from the original and from the converted file?

  • Maintaining Links in a PDF to Word Conversion

    Is it possible to convert a PDF to Word using Acroabt X Pro so that all of the links in the PDF will work in the Word file?  The PDF was created from FrameMaker 9 files and contains many internal cross references. When I perform the conversion, the layout of the Word file looks great, but none of the links work.

    Not possible.

  • Why after exporting PDF to Word some characters are not displaying accurately.

    I exported a PDF to Word and it changed the case of some of the characters from upper case to lower case and even changed the font. In some areas the kerning is wonky too. What do I need to do differently?

    Very likely you are not needing to change anything. Some variation in output can be found depending on the data structure of the file involved.
    Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and formatting information?Adobe ExportPDF is capable of exporting high quality information,  but the quality of your Word document depends on the quality of the PDF  file you start with. For instance, if your PDF file was originally  authored in Microsoft Word and converted to PDF using the PDF Maker  functionality in Adobe Acrobat® software, your PDF file contains a rich  set of information that can be captured by Adobe ExportPDF. This  includes relative positioning of tables, images, and even multicolumn  text, as well as page, paragraph, and font attributes. If your PDF file  was originally authored using simpler PDF generation methods, such as  “print to PDF” or “scan to PDF” options, Adobe ExportPDF will convert  any recognizable text and then use sophisticated conversion intelligence  to preserve as much of the page layout as possible.

    Hi,
    ExportPDF is not a downloadable software. It is an online web service user to convert PDF to other formats.
    Kindly refer to below mentioned article and let me know if that helps.

  • Why does the export pdf for word conversion get hung up?

    I need to convert pdf file to Word 97-2003.  When I follow all the steps it moves into the uploading file stage and then gets hung up and doesn't finish download.  Blue down load file indicator stays on but download doesn't happen.

    I am doing it from my home computer.  I pay a yearly service fee for that
    option and it's frustrating that I cannot access it, even though I could
    before.

  • Pdf to Word conversion problems

    I just tried to convert a pdf (in Italian) to Word.  What came out was a page of senseless symbols.  I tried converting to doc, docx, and rtf, and nothing worked.  What to do?

    Some PDF files aren't convertible. Here's a simple test. Select some text on a page, and copy it, paste it into Word (or whatever).
    Do you get good italian words, or the same sort of junk?

  • PDF to Word conversion

    I have tried to convert the PDF file to word doc and docx but have received the following message both times: File failed to be converted using Adobe ExportPDF online.
    Ok, so now what can I do?

    Hi TricoreManagement,
    Sorry to hear you're having trouble! Are you having this issue with all files or just one?  If it's just one file, could you open the file in Adobe Reader and choose File > Document Properties.  Then share what it says next to the 'Application' and 'PDF Producer' lines.
    Thanks,

  • Converting a PDF to Word- Conversion Failure

    Everytime I try and convert a PDF from Reader and/or wwwcloud.acrobat.com it keeps coming back with a conversion failure?
    Any Help?

    Hi rusell1234,
    Does the error occur with a specific PDF file, or with any file that you try to convert? Can you tell us a bit more about the file(s) that you're converting--how many pages, what sort of content it has (text/graphics/fonts).
    For starters, please clear the browser cache and try again, or try converting from a different web browser. And, make sure that Reader is up-to-date by choosing Help > Check for Updates.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Problem with missing column text - PDF to Word conversion

    I just bought Acrobat Standard X and have a serious deadline to meet.  Problem is I converted a PDF with newspaper style columns to Word XP (2003) version and the first column of two will not budge with the right hand margin.  The text is there when prompted but some of the endings to words are being hidden.  I have tried putting an 'equal column width' command and it still doesn't work.  I have selected individual paragraphs to try and stretch out the margin to justify with the previous page alignment (which appears ideal) and it still will not do as I want.  On the ruler line, there is a blue gap between the columns and I can't get rid of it.  So, the first column insists on staying narrower than it should be and if I stretch it out to align with the other pages, it loses words I have typed until it reverts back to its original width.  Any ideas would be most welcome. This is a right pain in the butt. Thanks.

    Alas your expectation is not reflective of what the application is capable of.
    Acrobat's OCR has no concept of "styles". Nor does OCR provide Tagged content. As Acrobat's OCR does not incorporate a "zone" approach to character recognition the manual tagging of OCR output is non-trivial (and yes you'd have to do it manually).
    Having the PDF content exported to Word you'll more quickly arrive at your "destination" by manual application of the desired core Word headings / styles. Now if *all* paper documents were the same type layout / format / etc it might be possible for a Word developer to script something to apply headings / styles programmatically.
    Be well....

  • I signed up for pdf to word conversion in December and paid a yearly subscription. Not working?

    Today when I go to convert a pdf (haven't done one in a long while) it keeps sending me to the subscription page.  I can't figure this out.    What am I missing here.  I should have several months left.  Where is the account info?

    I decided to put it away last night and start fresh this morning with a fresh mind, as I had logged in, loaded into the cloud, etc. as I was prompted to do at every new screen.  This morning I took a new direction and  I logged in at Adobe.com, found my account management info (which I couldn't figure out how to access last night).  It appears that you don't have any services associated with my account at all, and that the version I was using was a free service?  However I have a record of paying Adobe $29.95 on December 9th.  What exactly did I pay for if I do not have any services in my account?  Below is the transaction from my visa.  Can you look into this for me, or should I go through the account management help service?

  • 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?

  • Edit document that was converted from PDF to Word Doc.

    How do I edit a document that I converted from a PDF to a word document????? When I open my now "Word Document" it does not allow me to edit the text.

    Bill, The PDF came from a scanning of a Word document, but my office did not produce the PDF and I don't know exactly how the original Word document was scanned, whether OCR was engaged at that stage, etc., but the select tool in Adobe Reader leads to the cross-hairs on the PDF. We are working without AA, and I was trying to convert the PDF back to an editable Word document through ExportPDF, with which I thought I had had some success in the past in similar circumstances (converting an image PDF back to an editable Word document). With this document, the conversion back to Word through ExportPDF has led to an uneditable Word document with text in image frames whether OCR is on or off in the PDF to Word conversion effort... and if there is a way to remove the frames in Word, but keep the text, I haven't "re"figured it out yet. For instance, triple clicking doesn't seem to do anything.
    On this particular document, we've gone back to the old fashioned way of retyping the page that has the error in it ... and sticking it back in the document. (It also would have been smarter timewise for me in this case to have spent more time on tracking down the preceding Word document.)
    Was I missing something in the conversion process from scanned image PDF to Word document with edit capabilities? Thanks!

  • Why Conversion failure PDF to Word?

    I am new to this but just tried to convert two files from PDF to Word and got Converstion Failure message.  PDF files are 50 meg each + a few photos/art.  If too large, how do I break the PDFs up?  If photo is the issue, how do I work around this?

    Hi bergmanc,
    It sounds like there may be an issue with the file that you're trying to convert. Have you tried to convert other files? If so, are they converting without error?
    Please tell me a little more about the file that you're trying to convert. For example, what is its file size, how many pages does it have, are there lots of graphics, or a mix of fonts? If the file is complex, it may be that the ExportPDF service is timing out before it can complete the conversion process. It also possible, that the PDF may not be written properly, if t was created by a third-party appellation.
    You can simplify the conversion process by disabling OCR as described here: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community (but this solution isn't optimal if the PDF was created from a scanned document.)
    Please let us know a bit more about your file, and we'll see what we can figure out.
