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.

  • I was informed i need to purchase standard 11 or standard 12 (?) in order to make word files converted from pdf editable. how do i do this?

    i was informed i need to purchase standard 11 or standard 12 from adobe in order to make files converted from pdf to word using the recently bought and installed adobe pdf exporter file. how/where do i do this?

    Currently the Acrobat version is "XI" (no "12").
    With Acrobat XI installed:
    "File - Save As Other"  --- from here you pick the supported file format for the export.
    If a PDF has content that is the output of a scanner then that output (as is the case for All scanners' output) is a picture of text and not real text.
    During an export all that can be processed is the picture. As a picture of text is not text it is understandable why Word (or other word processors) cannot edit the content.
    So, for such, prior to export run Acrobat's OCR and save.
    The export will be of the OCR content.
    Do expect to do clean of the text, spelling, punctuation, layout etc.
    This may be minor. This may be major. But, there will be some.
    Adobe as some online subscription services that can take a "proper" PDF (NOT all are eh) and export to supported file formats.
    Two are "ExportPDF" and "PDF Pack".
    Be well...

  • How do I send a document converted from pdf to word?

    Do I save the converted pdf to word document on an usb so I can send it in an email?

    The usual ways. Once it is saved to your hard drive, you could drag it in Finder/Windows Explorer, or save it from Word.

  • Why won't my word document converted to PDF save?

    When in word, I select the option to convert to PDF, the document is scanned and I'm prompted to save as PDF. All seems to work except it doesn't actually save! This was working previously until an update a few months ago. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    First, have you removed from Printer Utility the Adobe PDFPrinter 9.x fom the list then close Printer Utility.
    Then open Acrobat or Adobe Reader and go to help menu and choose to repair or rplace. Choose to replace the PDFPrinter only.
    (One thing that we can't seem to get Aodobe to fix is that (at least in X.4.11 and I've heard some folks using X.5.x talk about.
    When you go to page setup in Acrobat you can not select any Printer what so ever.
    Does not even pickup choices in the Print/Fax Control panel in system preferences.
    However you can choose it in the Print menu.
    IF you decided to install Reader, you may or may not be able to set printer in Page setup.
    However, if you can set up in Reader's page setup. It will show up in Acrobat's.
    Its an obvious bug Adobe refuses to admit or can't fix. I've heard some say they've heard the problem but never seen it.)
    Next, open Word 2008 or 2004 (don't remove 2004 it has far more features than 2008)
    create your Document.
    Save a copy as DOC or DOCX document first.
    Now go to Print menu and choose Acrobat PDFPrinter 9.x(x being the most current revision).
    and choose Print. with the version 9.x  the pdf will automatically be set to desktop and you have no choice where it save.
    All versions previous to 9.0 a window would come up giving you a chance to choose the dsired location.
    9.0 does not. THis is a super major bug, that only a rank amature would committ.
    One thing Apple has preached fro day one; do not save any file you want to keep to the desktop.
    The desktop is a Temporary file. and in event of a crash the desktop is rebuilt and the file may go missing.
    Items such a Yahoo widgets get by, by using a special Database that tells where each widget is supposed to go, and and in event of  crash simply recreates them.

  • How to edit word doc converted from PDF

    I converted a PDF to a Word docx, and need to edit the doc. How do I do this?

    As you would any other document. The problem is likely that you had scanned to PDF and never ran OCR. Thus the DOC file is a collection of pictures and no text. You either have to edit the graphic to fix the text or go back to the PDF and do OCR first. Use Searchable PDF to enable useful fonts for the DOC file.

  • How do I remove formatting in a Word doc converted from PDF?

  • How do I make hearts and symbols disappear from Word Doc converted from pdf?

    This is the first time I've tried to convert a document.  I am in a new job and I'm stuck.  How do I convert pdf to word and not get symbols all over the Word doc?

    Appears to be a font related issue.
    Regardless, all you can do with the circumstances you describe is to use MS Word to perform cleanup of the export content.
    Alternatively print the PDF to paper and use that as a source for transcription into a fresh word processor file.
    Be well...

  • How to setup word docs, converted to PDF on local drive with links to a second file at a page

    how to setup word docs, converted to PDF on local drive with links to a second file at a page
    Need to setup a set of word documents, converted to PDF that has links from one file to a second file at a given page.
    I would like to setup a set of pdf documents, on the hard disk of a PC or Mac, that can be open with acrobat pro running on the same computer and have the link jump to, and open in a new window, in acrobat pro, to a given page of a second document in the set.
    Is there a way to setup a link in word and the conversion to pdf that will result in a link that is equivalent to the acrobat link type  you get when you add a link of the type Go to a page in another document?
    Tools-Advanced Editing-Link tool, make a box
    Check: Go to page view, Next (Create go to view dialog opens)
    Open second document and go to page
    Click “Create go to view dialog” to set up link
    Result is a link, when view by link properties, with an action of
    Go to a page in another document
    File: C:\My Documents\second file.pdf
    Page: 43
    Zoom level: Custom
    I got close but did not solve the problem:
    I have a version that uses links to a website, using #page=43 at the end of the hyperlink.
    That works but will only open to the page if is through the web browser, opening the acrobat reader plugin.
    I need to open from a folder on the local harddisk (with relative links), in acrobat pro to the given page of the pdf, on a PC or a Mac.
    I could bookmark each page “pagenumberxxx” and jump to the bookmark/page if that would get around some problem
    Current Systems in use to create documents with links and view them:
    Windows XP SP3
    Word 2003 SP3
    Acrobat 9 pro version 9.4.4
    Or just to view them:
    Mac OS 10 Lion version 10.7.4
    Acrobat 9 pro version 9.5.1
    (note I have limited understanding of Mac’s)
    John

    No.  There seems to be no automated way to do it.  You can of course go into the PDF and manually add links after you have converted to PDF, but that is what we want to avoid having to do.  We want it to be automatic from the Word doc.

    In most cases you can just select the text and copy/paste. You can do that unless the file is a picture/scan.
