On converting a PDF to Word the doc comes up. However when i try to fill in thd form it does not act like a regular Word doc.

Hi saml,

Please describe what you mean by "does not act like a regular Word doc." Do you mean that you're unable to enter or select text, as is the document is an image, rather than text?

If so, can you please tell me more about the PDF file that you started with (was it created from a scanned document)? Do you know what application created the PDF? Did you convert via the ExportPDF website, or via Adobe Reader? ExportPDF should perform OCR (optical character recognition) on the text, but that functionality can be disabled in Reader, so you'll want to make sure that it's enabled, and that you've selected the correct language for OCR.

Sometimes, though, it's just a matter of triple-clicking in the Word document where you want to add text.

Please give that a try, and if you're still having trouble, respond with more details about the file you're working with, so we can try to understand the root cause.

Best,

Sara
