| How to Convert an Adobe Acrobat PDF to a Word Document Nov 24th 2012, 20:00 PDFs are great because they can be opened on most computers, regardless of the operating system. However, many PDF programs do not let you edit the document as you would a Word Document. Instead, they allow you to change the PDF into a Word Document. This article will show you how to do so using Adobe Acrobat. - Open the desired PDF. To do so, open Adobe Acrobat and click FILE>OPEN. Then choose the desired file. Alternatively, you can double click the PDF file or, if you have a Mac, drag it on top of the Adobe Acrobat Icon in your Dock.
- Convert the file. There are two ways that this can be done:
- Go to FILE>SAVE AS... Click the drop down menu next to "Format" and select "Microsoft Word Document." Then, click "Save."
- Go to FILE>EXPORT and Select "Word Document." Once a new window pops up, name the document and hit "Save."
- Wait. Depending on how large your PDF is, it may take a little while to export.
- Find the new Word file. Unless you changed it, it will save in the same place that the PDF version is saved. Double click it to open the file in Microsoft Word.
- Each version of Adobe Acrobat has its own selection method for a user exporting a document from a PDF to another type. Newer versions have become more graphical. Use the Help feature in Adobe Acrobat to search for the exporting steps, if the File > Export option has changed for your version.
- Although most editable documents made as PDFs will work for this process, some documents that weren't made to be editable, won't make the Word document be editable either. For editable PDFs, they will be editable documents in Microsoft Word.
- When you export the document from a PDF to a Word document, no images will be exported to the same document. Adobe Acrobat will not export those due to several different processes it takes in (behind the scenes).
