conversion automatique des fichiers

Bonjour,

Pour une raison encore inconnue j’ai perdu la suite Microsoft. Le temps d’essayer de comprendre, puis de racheter une version, soit une semaine, j’ai constaté que tous mes fichier word (autour de 1000) ont été convertis en fichier Acrobat, ce que l’on constate a partir de l’explorer c’est qu’il n’existe plus de fichier word à lancer, même si j’utilise  MS Word pour créer un nouveau document. Il est tout fois possible, fichier après fichier de choisir une ouverture par MS Word au lieu d’Acrobat par défaut. Si on lance un fichier marqué PDF on tombe dans un processus qui vous oblige à une conversion, sans intérêt. Je n’ai trouvé aucune fonction dans Acrobat pour empêcher Acrobat de prendre le contrôle des tous les fichiers Microsoft. Je ne vois plus d’autre solution que de désinstaller Acrobat et de m’éloigner définitivement de la suite Adobe qui agit comme un pirate par rapport aux autres plateformes.

Auriez vous une autre solution ?

Par avance merci.

@jean claudek54119485 chances are when your Microsoft was lost, It's not that your Word files have been "converted" to PDF files, but rather that your computer's operating system has been told to open all files with a .docx or .doc extension using Adobe Acrobat by default, instead of Microsoft Word. 

On a MAC, I would select the PDF, and Right-click on the file and select Get Info. In the "Get Info" window, look for the "Open with" section. In the "Get Info" window, look for the "Open with" section. This is the crucial step. After you select Microsoft Word, click the Change All... button below the drop-down. A confirmation message will appear asking if you want to change all similar documents to open with Word. Click Continue or Yes.

For a PC, going by memory here, start by opening Settings and typing "Default apps" in the search bar. Once you're in the Default apps settings, you have two options. You can either find Microsoft Word in the list of applications and check to make sure the .docx and .doc file types are associated with it. Alternatively, you can search for a specific file type, like .docx, and then change its default program from Acrobat to Microsoft Word. You will need to repeat this last step for the .doc file extension as well.

Hello,

Thank you for this quick answer.

You are right, if I right click on the explorer, I still get 2 choices with
Adobe version and MS Word, regardless it is an old file or a just created one,
so nothing is lost and I can get the original file in « compatibility mode ».

I will investigate further for the fix you propose.

Best Regards

Jean-Claude

Hello,

OK this is fixed

In fact if you go to explorer, select the message and use the other loading
function you can get it in word format, but only this records; instead if you
use properties, open with you get a word format not only for this file but for
all other records.

Thank you, we can close the post

Best Regards

Jean-Claude
