Is there anyway to convert massive amount of PDF's to word document without having to go through each and one of them

Adobe PDF does wonderful job when it comes to converting PDF file into Word document. However, I want to know if there is anyway to convert my numerous PDF files into Word without me having to go through each and of them clicking and affirming questions for conversion? For example, there is an option to convert numerous files into PDF format just by checking a box to indicate the ones that I want them to be converted. However, I do not see this option when it comes to converting a PDF into Word format. I need to go through them each and individually, checking various things such as destination folders.It would really save me some time, since I wouldn't need to sit in front of my laptop, manually clicking away.

Hi chaconne1003,

You can do so by creating a ExportPDF action in Acrobat, however, acrobat would prompt you several times in the process, usually for location of resultant file, format of the resultant file, so it isn't really a automated process.

However, if you have export pdf online service subscription, all you would need to do is select all the files at once which are to be converted, set the conversion option to Microsoft Word and then you can sit back and watch the files being uploaded and converted automatically.

once the conversion of all the files is completed, you would be prompted to download the converted files. However, this might also be time consuming process if the size of the pdf being uploaded is large or you are on a slow network.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Rahul

If you're using ExportPDF (https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf), you can select multiple files for conversion.
