The Acrobat PDF converter lets you export PDF files to the following file types: DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, JPEG, JPG, PNG, and TIFF. Simply drag and drop or upload a PDF into the tool drop zone to convert your file. The tool also lets you convert these file formats to PDF using any web browser: DOCX, DOC, XLSX, XLS, PPTX, PPT, TEXT, TXT, RTF, BMP, GIF, JPEG, JPG, PNG, TIFF, and TIF.

You can also try Adobe Acrobat Pro for free for seven days to convert HTML to PDF documents, edit PDF files, edit scans with OCR, annotate files, merge PDFs, split PDFs, reduce file size, and set file permissions.

Have you downloaded and installed Acrobat Pro, since you upgraded? If you have, then you can export directly to Word from within Acrobat. You would simply open your PDF, and choose File > Export To > Microsoft Word...

No, I haven't downloaded it. Still, per my posted help link Using Adobe PDF Pack, shouldn't the "Convert PDF To Editable File" option be included in my Adobe PDF Pack, i.e. the one I had before upgrading to Pro?

Yes, rhaa, you're right. You most certainly can export from PDF to Word using Adobe PDF Pack, and in the screenshot above, it looks like you're almost there. (I think those instructions need to be updated!) Once you've chosen your file, and selected the output format, the last step is to click that blue Export to Word button that's peeking out at the bottom of your screen shot. Then, the file will be converted and uploaded to your Document Cloud storage account.

Yes. I forgot to mention that earlier. I picked the Export to Word button and it converts to DOC. However, when I download then open the DOC file, the text is still images instead of text. Isn't it supposed to convert it to text?

But, if those things don't work, we need to take a look at how that PDF was created. Some PDFs created by third-party apps (non-Adobe apps) aren't written to spec, and don't contain all the information necessary to ensure a good conversion. You can tell how the PDF was created by choosing File > Properties in Acrobat or Reader and looking for the PDF Producer on the General tab.

When I open the original PDF, I can select text. Also, the text is clearly legible. But, copy and pasting that to a text file yields some incorrect text. i.e. ALL text doesn't translate correctly. Most does but not all.

After doing the Adobe PDF Pack to Export to Word, the text on each page or the DOC file has an overlayed image, which is the original text. Erasing that reveals text below, which is the same text I copied and pasted earlier, including the incorrect text.

From the hole punches in the document, I'm guessing this is a scanned document. Is that correct? The quality of the scan can certainly affect output to PDF and subsequent conversion to Word. In this case, the scan seems to a little crooked, and there appears to be a tint to the background. Both these factors can affect document/conversion quality.

I had someone create a fillable PDF for me using LiveCycle Designer es4. I was provided with the original or "Master File" as well as a PDF version to be used. This second option was provided so that it could be used on mobile devices such as iPhones. The issue I am having is that I updated the "Master File" using LiveCycle Designer and then saved a separate copy as a PDF. When I go to use this PDF on my iPhone, it is static and not interactive. None of the fillable, drop down menus or submit via email button work.

The person who created the file told me that they "convert & format the LiveCycle version to a final version called an AcroForm". The reason for this is that the AcroForm version allows for use on desktop or mobile devices. How do I replicate doing this?

An AcroForm is a form created with Adobe Acrobat instead of LiveCycle Designer. It is compatible with Adobe Reader on iOS and Android. But an AcroForm is not dynamic. It's just a static PDF with form fields and scriptings.

The form layout will change with every change request. Then you change the XDP and produce with the PostScript detour a new Acro-PDF. The good thing is that you can swap individual PDF pages with Acrobat. So fortunately your form fields and scripting are not lost with every change.

That shows clearly: changes to the form are cheaper for your customer with XFA-PDFs. Surface tablets are more costly than iOS or Android - but the form development and change request costs might surmount them.

So, I have saved the file from LiveCycle Designer as a PostScript. Then I open the PostScript using Adobe Acrobat DC. Now, how would I add the scripting from the LiveCycle Designer file to this PostScript file? I am not too familiar with difference between PDF files and scripting at all.

Peeps! I have solved this: go to Organise pages>Extract> choose all pages, Extract all. Open the Prepare Form menu and voila! all the fields will be there and ready to use AND you can create new fields. Just remember to save your new file.

From looking at other forum posts here, I've found the action wizard, and added the folder I wanted to modify. However, I don't see any way to export from PDF to Word. Only JPEG, PNG, and TIFF show up as export options.

In -convert-pdf-to-word/m-p/4527671 a suggestion was to create a new action but not add any steps, and instead open the "Options dialogue for the Save To field". My problem is that this "Save To" field doesn't appear to exist on my version.

Other threads on this forum have been little help; all the ones I've found just culminated in the advice "Use the Action Wizard" but nothing about how to actually get the Action Wizard to convert specifically from PDF to Word. I don't see any such option. So how do I actually get this folder of PDFs to batch export/convert to Word?

Click the Save command on the left, and then press the button in the middle with the arrow pointing to the right to add it to your Action. Then click it and press Specify Settings underneath it, and you'll see these options.

I have a PDF file that can only be opened with Adobe Acrobat DC. When I try to open it with chrome for example I see the message below. How can I convert this PDF file to a normal pdf file so that I can open it with other PDF viewer apps?

attempt to determine which non PDF format Adobe are using, as not all of their proprietary formats can simply be converted by reprinting. If it is Dynamic XFA then you have no choice but to ask the Author to rebuild as an accessible PDF since reprinting cannot allow for dynamic entries.

Basically if it can be fully used without problems in an XFA reader like Chrome or FireFox you may be able to use that to reprint but all 3 renders can appear different, so then that means none are PDF, as PDF should not vary from method to method (the concept is all VALID PDFs should look the same whatever the rendering method).

The XFA is only a skin for the task of emailing forms data as seen on the left. Thus the closest we can get to non Adobe behaviours, is to convert the specialist proprietary form from XFA to AcroForm which can also store and process the FDF data fields.

There are many such converters, with different abilities, but the closer to Live Cycle regeneration and cost the better they are likely to perform across the board. see the "Converted" form lower right.

Sadly this method requires Adobe Acrobat DC. Don't forget to uncheck McCafee antivirus in the installation. Open you PDF file with Adobe Acrobat than click on to printer icon and select "Microsoft Print to PDF" as printer. Then select print. After that it will ask you where you want to save the files. Select a folder and save it. Now you can open the new file with any normal PDF viewer app for example google chrome.

I currently take a PDF form with fillable fields, save it as a Postscript file (to remove the fillable fields) and then use Distiller to convert the Postscript file back to PDF. I then manually add in Text fields where all the fillable fields used to be...these text fields are later filled programmatically.

Since the update on Acrobat to Pro DC, I keep having to click on Revert to Image, which would be fine but sometimes to revert to image, it undoes the changes I may have recently changed. The only workaround I found was to make changes on the picture (in Photoshop) then save the PDF, close it and reopen to make additional changes. I cannot stress this enough, I NEED the fonts to stay outlined so I don't get any errors when transferring postscripts from PC to Mac. And I'm talking about files that are exported from other programs, not scanned.

I would also like to see an option to disable the automatic convert to text. Most times I just need to add a little text box and converting the page to text 1. is a waste of time and 2. often distorts my information thus resulting in converting almost every page back to an image. The convert to text function works well, please just make an option to disable it when editing!

This issue is frustrating me too. Being pre-press oriented, I very rarely need OCR for anything. Most often, I am extracting or editing images from PDFs. This automatic OCR thing is just like a pop-up ad for me - something in the way of my work. In fact, the new interface of Acrobat DC seems much less conducive to work. In the previous version, I had all my frequently used tools handy. Not so much now.

Also, cropping is now terrible. No one in their right mind would crop by sight and end up with a random page size. If we're cropping, we want to crop to a specific size, so just cut right to the chase and open the crop dialog. Or add rulers and snapping. Really, this isn't rocket science.
