WHY WHEN I EXPORT A DOCUMENT TO WORD CAN´T EDIT?

WHY WHEN I EXPORT A DOCUMENT TO WORD CAN´T EDIT?

Hi Tami,
I'm so sorry for your frustration! I'd like to assist.
Is there a chance your PDF was originally a scanned file? As these can be tough because the converter doesn't have anything solid to grip onto.
Let me know and we can try and troubleshoot together!
Kind regards, Stacy

  • When I paste a Pages document into an email it looks totally different.  Even when I export it too Microsoft Word the Word document looks different.  Apparently this does not happen if you have Word on your computer.  Does anyone have experience?

    I need to be able to copy/paste documents into the body of an email and have them look exactly like the original document.  I could always do this on my PC using Microsoft Word.  And all writers submitting work to agents do this.   I just tried it with Apple's Pages and when I pasted it into the body of the email, the document looked totally different . . . no double spacing, no paragraphing  etc.  Even when I exported the document to Word, I copy/pasted it into an email and it looked totally different.  I suspect Apple's version of Word does not perform like the real Word in all circumstances . . . Before I go out and buy Word and put it on my Apple, I would like to know if anyone else has had this issue and how they may have dealt with it.  Thanks.

    Drag and drop the file into the email, the formatting will be retained when it is opened by the recipient.

  • Why does the gradient disappear when I export my document to PDF?

    I have used gradient tool on simple black lines to make them fade out as they reach the edge of the document. When I export the document to PDF the lines are simply black, no gradient whatsoever. I'm a beginner at this. I'm putting together something for a wedding, and really need to fix this pronto! HELP!

    Version of InDesign? OS? Print or Export to PDF and settings used?
    What sort of gradient did you apply? Some screen shots of the line in ID and the PDF would help.

    I am having trouble printing a PDF document. Whenever I click print nothing happens but when I am printing documents from Word, Excel etc they print without a problem. I've tried printing as image but that did not work. I uninstalled Adobe Reader XI and downloaded Adobe Reader X instead and that still doesn't work. I have Windows 7.

    Hello,
    Please follow the link to troubleshoot the printing issues with Adobe Reader:- Troubleshoot PDF printing | Acrobat, Reader.

  • Why when I export photos from I photo to the desk top , and then to a CD they end up as alis  and some are not really there?

    Why when I export photos from I photo to the desk top , and then to a CD they end up as alis  and some are not really there?

    Why? Because of something you are doing wrong - however unless you actually tell us what you are doing - and what version of iPhoto you have - and any other detail that might help no one can even gess.
    Exactly how are you exporting? Are the photos successfully exported to the desktop? How are you moving to the CD? why do you think they are not there?

  • I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

    I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

    The application Acrobat provides no language translation capability.
    If you localize the language for OS, MS Office applications, Acrobat, etc to the desired language try again.
    Alternative: transfer a copy of content into a web based translation service (Bing or Google provides a free service).
    Transfer the output into a word processing program that is localized to the appropriate language.
    Do cleanup.
    Be well...

  • How do I get the content to match when exporting pages document to word?

    How do I get the content to match when I export a pages document to word format?

    You simply cannot get an absolutely identical export, in any app to any app. Exporting from one app to another means converting/parsing code, therefore the result cannot be identical. In order to have control over your final result, use PDF export. If you need a closer compatibility with Word, use OpenOffice or LibreOffice. I would not bet that Word for Mac would presserve identical page setting if file is created in windows, or vice-versa.

  • When converting a PDF document to word, the word count feature is not giving me the number of words

    I have been using Acrobat for converting PDF documents to Word.  It had been working just fine, but lately, when I convert a PDF document to Word, it is not giving me the word count, which is why I subscribed in the first place. Someone has any idea of why?

    Hi Robin,
    I would recommend you to use Acrobat software to convert this pdf file, Acrobat software enable you to customize the conversion settings.
    You can download a free 30-day trial from this Link : https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html
    After downloading and installing acrobat, Open pdf file in Acrobat, go to File menu -> Click 'save as other' -> Microsoft Word -> Word Document.
    A pop-up window will appear that would prompt you to choose the file to be converted, after you select the file, click on the settings button on the bottom left of the pop-up window and choose 'Retain Page layout' under layout settings, click ok and then save.
    Hope that helps with your query.
    Regards,
    Rahul

  • I can't seem to export page documents as word documents

    Recently, when try to save a pages document as a word document, I get a message that tells me that I can't export the document as a similarly named word document. What's happened? It is a new phenomenon, as I've been doing this as long as I've had Pages. Often the pages document was created by copying text from the internet.

    I get a message that tells me that I can't export the document as a similarly named word document.
    Are you trying to save it with the name of an already existing Word document in the same location??? If not try closing Pages, then delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist in ~ > Library > Preferences. restart the computer if you haven't done it lately. Try Export to Word in Pages again.

  • Why when i copy paste documents from download to another folder,then i delete them from the downloads ,it will be erased at all?

    I dl a file it goes to my doenload folder,then i copy it to another folder for example document,then when i delete it from download it will erase at all? why?
    is it ok to have the file in both downloads and document? it will not be more size?

    If you copy it to another folder, e.g., Documents, and you can see it in the Downloads folder then you now have two copies of the file. If you delete one copy, the other stays intact. If you keep both, there is no harm, although the amount of disk space used is twice as big as when you only keep one copy.

  • To edit a pdf, can you do it right in pdf form or must you export the document to word first?

    I have been trying to edit a PDF, I have been using the export PDF.  This does not have great compatibility so I might as well just create a whole new document.  If I upgrade to the premium, can I edit right from the pdf form?

    Hi Satya,
    Thank you for the immediate response.
      Now I can import the pdf files and edit them.
    However there is a problem.
    I can only open the pdf files which I created by the developer studio.
    When I open the pdf files those created by a scanner, they appear blank. However, when I open the same files with acrobat reader, the contects in the file appear.
    I will be very thankful if you could help me in this.
    Many thanks

  • Trouble Exporting a Document to Word format

    I just installed the update to Pages and now can't seem to export a Pages document to word.  The document has a lot of tracked changes in it and I am getting an error message of "an unknown error has occurred".  Any suggestions how to fix this?

    As we can not see the "complete mess" maybe you should describe the problem to us?
    Or were you just letting us know?

  • Why when I delete a document from the print que does it not delete?

    When I send a document to my hp photosmart printer and there is an error, I go in to delete the document from the print que on my hp laptop and it shows it as being deleted but nothing happens and I can't print any other document. How do I fix this?

    If your problem is not resolved please read this post then provide some details.  What exactly is your printer model?  (There are hundreds of Photosmart models...)  What operating system?  How is the printer connected?
    All the Photosmart printer models except the first one had a  "cancel" button on the front panel.  It may be easier to press this to cancel the print job rather than deleting the print job from the spooler. The cancel button is typically marked with an "X"; pressing it will stop printing and discard the remainder of the print job.

  • Can't open document using Word or Text Edit

    I couldn't find a specific topic so I'm posting this here. I just got a new white macbook and transferred some word documents to it. I was out of town and realized I'd forgotten to load the Word program, so I opened a couple of documents using Text Edit and saved them as new documents. One document opened without issue, but the other document won't open with either Text Edit or MS Word 2004. When I try to open it in Word the message states it cannot be opened and may or may not be a valid word document. When I try to open in TextEdit the message states that the document is not in the right format. Please help -- I really don't want to have to re-create the document as it is about 12 pages!
    Thanks, Sandy

    There are 2 unusual options in File, Open in the Windows version of Word (sorry, I'm on a Mac without Word). One is something like Recover Text From Any Format, and the other is Open and Repair. One I think is on a drop down menu in the Open screen. I'm not sure if these are available on the Mac version, but it's worth a try! Also: do you have all the proper converters set up? I have Word 2004 for Mac running on one machine, a legal copy, and I was able to do updates and even get a free conversion program that actually backward converts Word 2007 for Windows and Word 2008 for Mac files down to Word for Mac 2004. It's worked quite will. I support Word on Macs and Windows at work and have used that conversion utility to great advantage when we had users call with Word docs that wouldn't open. Good luck!
