Hello, (Adobe DC pro, PC, windows 10, with Office 2016)

Here is my problem : I export pdf to word doc. My document are not in english but in french.

When I open Word document, the language is in english. So there is problem with spell check... every time.

I have to change language in word document (every time).

Of course, that's not difficult to change, but it's every times - and it's very long with word documents with comments (i.e. Insert comments).

I'd like to export pdf to Word document, in french, every time!

Thanks.

Hi Lionel,

Apologies for the late response.

Please provide us with the following information:

1. Is your document scanned?

     If yes, follow the steps below:

  • Launch Acrobat and open the pdf
  • Go to Export PDF app -> Microsoft Word -> Word Document
  • Click on the settings icon near "Word Document" and Check "Recognize text if needed"
  • Go to "Set language" and select "French" from the dropdown
  • Click Ok -> Ok -> Export

Please let us know if this helps.

Regards,

Girija
