Dear all,

I need to convert a couple of hundreds files from pdf to docx.

 

I used the "Automization assistant" ... nevertheless I need to confirm for every file that I want to export to a word file, the name and the destination folder.

 

How can include that the title of the pdf file is taken over and every file is exported as a doc to one certain folder?

 

Thanks in advance and take care,

Jens

Hi Jens,

 

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described, you are you are converting many PDFs to MS Word, and need help with Automation, correct?

 

What is the workflow/steps you are doing to export the PDF to MS Word?

 

Please try the following steps:

 

  1. Start Action Wizard Tool: Start the Adobe Acrobat Pro application. Select the "Tools" panel located on the main Adobe Acrobat toolbar. Double click on the "Action Wizard" tool icon to open the tool controls.
  2. Create New "Action": Click on the "New Action" icon on the "Action Wizard" toolbar to create a new batch processing "action".
  3. Expand the "Save & Export" Category: Expand the "Save & Export" category to see available commands.
  4. Add the "Save" Command to the Action Steps: Double click a command "Save" or select it and press "+->" button to add it to the list of action steps.
  5. Specify an Output Folder: Click the "OK" icon next to the "Save" command. and Select "Save to Local Folder" from the pull-down list.> Specify an output folder where to place the resulting files. The "Output Folder" is selected in the tutorial. Click "OK" once done.
  6. Specify the Conversion Settings: Click "Specify Settings" below the "Save to Local Folder" action step: Select "Export File(s) to Alternate Format" in the "Output Options" dialog. Select "Word Document" from the "Export to:" pull-down list. This command will convert PDF files to the Microsoft Word *.DOCX format as part of the file saving procedure. Click "OK" to finish.
  7. Specify a Folder to Process: Click the "Add Folder" icon in the "Files to be Processed" section > Select a folder that contains the PDF files to be converted. Click "OK" once done.
  8. Save the Action: The action is now configured. We have specified both input and output folders and the file format conversion settings. Click "Save" button to save the action. > Type a desired "Action Name" and, optionally, enter a description into the "Action Description" box. We have named the action as "Convert PDF into Word" in the tutorial. Click "Save" to save the action.
