Hello,

I try to convert (export to word)  a 15 pages PDF file

My goal is to copy and past the converted document into an another word document.

However, each page of this document has a the same header (Company name, address and logo) and this header is not converted when I launch the export process.

Do you have any clue this fix this issue?

Many Thanks for your help

Hey Jacquess,

If I understand correctly, you have a 15 page pdf file and trying to convert it as word and then create the multiple word documents copies?

And while creating the pdf file to word format the header of pdfs are not converting to word?

How exactly you are converting the pdf to word? Could you confirm the exact work flow that you follow? As, I assume this might be a file specific issue. So you may check with a different pdf document once.

Also, there might be a possibility where the text present in header/footer section is not actually one. But instead manually added text. Kindly confirm if it's header/footer or normal text. You can differentiate by double clicking on the text (which is assumed to be header/footer), if it opens Design tab in the menu bar where header/footer operations can be done, then it's header/footer else it's manually added text.

If this doesn't clear your query can you please share the pdf with us, so that we can do a better investigation on this?

You can try the following steps for the conversion-

Try converting the file through- https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf

Or through the desktop application- Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Install for all versions

Hello AKANCHHA,

First of all, a great thanks for your message.

Your understanding of the issue is quite right.

The work flow I am following is quite straight forward, this is the one given by ADOBE: when the PDF file is open, then I have a button on the top right corner offering the function “export to PDF.

I then follow the process which is quite simple.

Surprisingly the “export to Word” works when the PDF contains only one page but Not when there is more than one page.

So I copy from the PDF each page one by one and paste it the word document…which very time consuming

You will find an attached PDF file (46 pages) as an example.

-        The PFD and the export to Word : As you will see It seems not possible to copy the entire Word document (from the top to the bottom) to paste it in an other word document: the header and the footer remains not “accessible” and not pasted

Again, thanks for your help

Best regards

jacques

Hey Jacques,

Sorry for the delay in response to your previous post.

1-Surprisingly the “export to Word” works when the PDF contains only one page but Not when there is more than one page.

As shared as that the pdf converts fine if there is only one page converted to word it converts fine but not more than that. In this case i assume that the other page of the pdfs are doesn't contain real text or it only has images.

Copying the content of pdf and pasting it on word document is not a good practice. This might not give the appropriate result, as formatting of pdf document and word document might differ.

You will find an attached PDF file (46 pages) as an example.

Unfortunately, I can not see any file attached here. Could you please send it via email to us? Would test the same at our end and try to find out why the other pages aren't converting to word.
