Keep in mind that Acrobat has not had MS Publisher to PDF capability via PDFMaker for many, many years. With Acrobat installed the Adobe PDF virtual printer is available to do a basic "file > print" that provides a PDF (basically  a print to PDF rather than a print to paper). Typically the PDF creation process used by MS Publisher is the Microsoft process (nothing of Adobe's). You may want to consider visiting a Microsoft Community for MS Publisher. ... View more

Some possible approaches - Acrobat Pro supports "edits" to PDF page content. Awkward (as PDF is *not* a word processor file format) but doable.  One file at a time. An Acrobat JavaScript might be possible but one of the scripting wizards would have to weigh in on that. Export the PDF content to Word (assumes straight up textual content) then do edits - then create fresh PDFs if needed. ... View more

You have some 100+ pages of CAD sourced PDF pages? Page size? Actual PDF producer? These and other variables can result in only marginally ISO 3200 (PDF ISO Standard) compliant PDFs and/or images of the engineering drawing rather than renderable text and lines and/or LARGE file size footprint and/or outlined fonts (a graphic drawing of the glyph rather than one rendered from something mapped from Unicode and so on. Consequence is slow, slow pull up and screen render. A hardware variable that contributes is what is used for graphics? Slow (nice 3-speed bicycle) is the integrated with mother board approach. Desired (the mountain bike) is a dedicated graphics card - more RAM is better (and this isn't that expensive these days). Bentley / AutoCAD / other high end stuff Can output proper PDF (see user manual/Help) but if not properly set up even they can/do output subpar PDF. Low end stuff - well it is low end (gigo in operation). ... View more

Step back to look at the issue.  Consider using a more effective authoring application that better supports your publishing (digital / print) needs.  For similarly very large, living documents I used Adobe FrameMaker "Books". With a competent understanding of FM and an appropriate "FM build" of the document content you can attain what you need. ... View more

Often. However, much depends on what was used (and how it was used) to author the source, pre-PDF file format content. As well what was used to actually create the PDF is an important consideration. Unfortunately there are many PDF creation applications that really do not cut it. For optimal export of PDF content you want to use a proper PDF creation routine (compliant with the ISO Standard for PDF - ISO 32000). You want a well-formed Tagged PDF (compliant with ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA). In short you have "gigo" if Good in then Good out or if Garbage in then Garbage out. ... View more

Not too clear as to what the issue is. The Export subscription supports upload to the Adobe servers of a PDF to have the content exported to a supported file format (such as MS Word). To edit the delivered Word file you would use your installed release of MS Word. If the PDF being supplied for export is the output of a scanner then you have an image as the PDF content and not actual renderabe text. AFAIK you can configure the online subscription service to perform OCR on the image of text. The OCR output is what lands in the delivered file.  You'd use the native application (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) to edit. Good to know - Anytime one has to transfer content out of PDF and into some other file formate be sure to allow LOTSA time for this. It is not uncommon that there will be needed cleanup of the exported content. ... View more

WAG 2.0 is dandy for PDF content that is not "of PDF" (e.g., that which is defined and discussed in ISO 32000). For "of PDF" to be accessible ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA used. From the foundation WCAG 2.0 is used where/when appropriate. Thus, a harmonious accessible PDF. ... View more

An operating system (OS X, Windows, etc.) does not open/edit PDF files. Adobe's Acrobat Reader will open the PDF for viewing but not editing. A MAC typically has an Apple provided program that'd open a PDF (& perhaps afford edit capability). That program would, of course, have to be installed. Alternatively you could use Adobe's Acrobat (the not free desktop application) to open and edit. Keep in mind the "edit" is overstating - PDF is not a word processor file format. Touchup? Yes. Word Processor "editing"? No. Check what you have installed. You may not have a PDF viewer/editor. You'd need one to do what you appear to want to do. ... View more

The Reading Order Panel is not the proper / correct place for this. Use the Structure tree. Review Acrobat's Help on the Accessibility topic.

Under any circumstances export of PDF page content can be a challenge. For optimal export you'd want to be using a well-formed Tagged PDF (ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA compliant). If the subscription service has user configuration options you could play with them to see what happens. RE: thumbnails -- wouldn't expect them to be exported - typically it is the alphanumeric "textual" the is transferred. If the row-column setup is id'd (under the PDF's hood) it can be transferred out. If you can export to a csv from the subscription service give that a go. Open it with Excel after you capture the export to your computer. ... View more

As you've asked your question in the "Reader" user forum it's good to know that Adobe's Acrobat Reader (any version/release) cannot create PDF. Most likely you are use the iOS "make a pdf" process.

Just an observation. Adobe Acrobat Reader (any version/release) cannot create PDF, export PDF page content to some other (supported) format or edit/manipulate PDF page content. Mention this because you've asked your question in the "Reader" user forum. Contemporary releases of Reader provide "links" to Adobe's Acrobat Document Cloud online subscription services. If one has an active (paid up) subscription then PDF files can be uploaded to have subsets of the features provided by the desktop application (not free like Reader) Adobe Acrobat (Pro or Standard). So, to have a PDF output from Word whilst only having Reader installed the PDF creation process is totally a Microsoft process. To export the PDF back to Word you'd use the desktop application Adobe Acrobat Pro or the appropriate Document Cloud subscription.  Export is optimal if using a well-formed Tagged PDF (ISO 14289-1, PDF-UA compliant). Regardless, export is "moving" the textual content not the graphic elements of lines, etc (although graphic images can be exported). An export of Western language types is typically top down from left to right. Text boxes  can be expected to be ignored going from Word to PDF -- the PDF can be expected to have the textual content "pulled" by the top down, left to right parsing of the Word file. To "separate" content in Word consider using Word's built in column creation process. To establish content flow with format consider appropriate use of Words "Styles" and Headings. For white space between lines and paragraphs consider use of Words built in Styles / Headings configuration features (avoid use of the Enter/Return & Tab keys to "format" -- 'cause they don't provide any of that actually. ...

Some observations - If having to work in Windows 10 one really does need to be using Adobe Acrobat DC.

Dancing the high lines of the CAT5 lines and the jumble terrain in the server scape is a no satisfaction scenario. ... View more
