As the inventor of the PDF file format, Adobe makes sure our Acrobat PDF to Word converter preserves your document formatting. When you use our online conversion tool, your fonts, images, and alignments will look as expected. The converted file is an editable Word document that you can start using right away in Microsoft Word online.
You can also try Adobe Acrobat Pro free for seven days to convert files to and from Microsoft 365, edit PDF documents with PDF editor tools, edit scanned documents using optical character recognition (OCR) functionality, merge PDFs, organize or rotate PDF pages, split PDFs, reduce file size, and convert HTML, TXT, RTF, PNG, JPG, BMP, and other formats to PDF.
Essays for school need to be sent to tutors in word form so that they can open the document and edit the text. Therefore, sending essays in pages form or pdf form is not an option. I need to convert my essays to word. However, I exported it to word (mac's option) and the format changed completely, mixing up all my figures, graphs and tables. How can I export a mac pages document to word, so that it can be opened and edited in Windows laptopts and keep the formatting same????
If you want accurate document content interchange with Word users, then use a current version of Word for Mac yourself. You will open/edit/save in Word native document architecture, and avoid the inaccuracies of Pages export translation to Word.
That being said, Microsoft (likely Apple as well) change document formatting frequently and are incompatible with themselves as well inter-version. The only "sure" way is to be running the EXACT SAME VERSION OF WORD, exactly, without any room for argument.
You can't sweep the huge problems of Pages inaccurate export under the carpet. It is pure luck if you get an acceptable transfer and definitely going back and forth is heading into inevitable disaster. Just when is in the lap of the Gods.
Yes. My advice is a few things. You can start from a template, save as .docx, open that .docx to see if Pages can import and export it (then close the .docx). However (see below) you should ask a friend to open the document on a Microsoft computer before sending it to the teacher. Another way: Export to PDF, send PDF to teacher (looks perfect on Microsoft but cannot be edited by Word). You might need a computer that runs the same Microsoft. I'll try to justify those remarks as so:
Yes, well your teachers also cannot export .pages documents to you correctly. Infact I believe there is some federal policy concerning protecting students and teachers in these situations (which i do not list).
The best choice for BOTH is to save to PDF (Adobe) and give your teacher the homework.pdf, because it's always page perfect (and perfectly printed) viewed on any device, and seldom if ever a problem going in between ms/mac, modernly.
If the teacher refuses to accept PDF format, you can say the teacher is "forcing you to to purchase a particular product (a specific version of microsoft word infact) without having said this in the "course description" for the class. (they can't do that, if purchases are required they must be agreed before the student begins the class)
PDF and X of OS X came from Xerox Star (ie 6085) Workstation (internet transparent desktop and Xerox printing) from Palo Alto California labs in the 1970's. PDF has always been page perfect, and though there has been version changes, the changes are much less an issue than with Word and Pages. Only Adobe editors can use .pdf as a "native" edited format (others ca export to it but don't know how to import it and can't import their own export).
#1 You can use Pages templates. They export/import to Word pretty good. There are reason why they do (they formatting style chosen). Likely you do not want to be a style/format doc editor wiz (ie, to take a class for doing so). Your choices there are PDF or to be forced to buy a Microsoft product**
#2 Your best move is to be quiet and pleasant as possible with the instructor. Say you've been working on it and you wish to send a PDF in addition to a .docx, incase there is still a problem. Instructors are infamous for downgrading students they have a prejudice against (ie, politics) and computer software does fall in the area of political for some instructors (or just "annoying students that make them think"). My advice is be careful none of all of it may be "fair".
** There are a few choices as to how to run Word: to buy Word for iMac and hope it's the same version of Word, to emulate MS OS, to have dual boot and boot into Windows (you bought), or to buy a cheap MS laptop which has Word pre-loaded free. The fact is any one of these might work or end up being a headache, the cheap ms laptop aside.
Where do you get all that nonsense from? You have jumbled up a lot of stuff you seem to have half heard from somewhere else. Neither PDF nor OSX "came from Xerox Star". The first is a simplified version of Adobe's Postscript, the second is a variant of UNIX developed by NeXT and then rewritten with a Mac UI at Apple.. Both were developed long after Xerox Star had vanished off the face of the Earth.
I wouldn't bother arguing with the lecturer on a trivial subject of submission requirements, especially as you are arguing to use a format that is broken even for yourself let alone as an exchange format.
Download Pages Converter for free. Converts pages word processor files to txt files on windows PCs (requires .net framework). Aside from returns and tabs, no formatting is able to be converted at this time.
Rather than going through a ton of conversions and such (as Pages only likes a few formats), have the student save the paper as a PDF. This way any computer with a PDF reader such as Adobe Acrobat or Preview can open/print the files.
Website description: "Open Freely is a piece of software which will open over 100 different file types for Windows machines. Not only will it allow you to view, edit and print your images and documents but you may also view videos and listen to audio files."
One of those file types is the Mac .pages format. I use Open Freely to read the .pages file and then print it to CutePDF to convert it into a PDF file. It seems to preserve the formatting pretty well.
I have been trying to transfer pdf files into word at work and have not been able to transfer the file without the text boxes coming through. I need to edit the documents and it is hard to edit and make changes with everything being TEXT BOXES. Does anyone know how to transfer a pdf File witout everything being in text boxes or being able to remove text boxes on word but not the wordings?
I'm trying to highlight text in my exported PDF to Word doc and I am unable to do it, I've tried everything and searched in all the Word help. I think I'll have to copy out all the text by hand into a new document, which seems crazy!
In word I have to option to "save as pdf" BUT .... when I save for electronic sharing the font changes, but the hyperlinks work. When I save for printing the fonts are unchanged, but they hyperlinks can't be clicked on.
PDFMaker only works on Windows and I've been told by the engineers that Apple is the one who stopped the process. This is the only reason I run Windows on my Mac with Microsoft Office and Acrobat Pro. It's easier now than it was in years past.
Edit: I know that because of some limitations enforced by Apple, not all the functionality of Acrobat is available to the users. As I have no macOS to test, I have, however, no idea where these limitations jump in.
Since you have the full Creative Cloud, consider learning InDesign. You can Export to PDF from there and it will keep the hyperlinks. There is a hyperlinks panel where you can create and confirm them.
This is controlled by the font's manufacturer, not your software. If it's a restricted font, you'll see it on your computer, you'll see it in your documents, but it will be swapped out for another font in PDFs.
Check the font's properties and see if you can locate the Information for each weight of the font. If it's embeddable, it will say embedabble, editable, or something similar. -book/view-and-print-fonts-fntbk1001/mac
I'm sorry, but your answer is bogus. I have a Subscription to Microsoft Suite with the latest version. I also have Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. The Converter maintains the hyperlinks but still jacks the fonts and formatting. At this point, I'm wondering why I pay for Adobe when it will not do as promised.
JR Boulay's answer is bogus. I have Mac OS Monterey, the latest versions of Word and Adobe Acrobat Pro......and to be honest, I'm angry as hell that in 2022 to have such issues. I can convert a PPT without losing fonts, formatting or hyperlinks.....but Word is completely different. It makes no sense, and I do not have time for this nonsense. I will be calling Adode Support tomorrow. These discussion boards are useless.
