Convert Pdf into editable Word

[Guest]

Hello!

I have recieved a Word file, in which i have to recreate out of a Pdf everything, so in the end the Word file to look exactly as the pdf and to be editable. I have tried to upload it in Photoshop then to see it in Acrobat Pro DC, but it shows fonts size i don't have in Word. I have tried OCR too...so i actually don't know...Can you please help me?

PS I am quite new to these things...

Hi Angie,

Can you please tell me EXACTLY how you are creating this PDF? Please tell me what menus you are going to, what options you are selecting.

Also please tell me which version of Acrobat you are using: Reader, Standard, or Pro.

Thanks

Dear Gary,

Thank you for replying. It's not me to create the PDF or the Word. I was just in charge, a test to do all the job, like creating all the stuff in Word out of the PDF,(what you see in pdf  have to create in the word),  as you can see in the attachements. But everything i did, with the little i know, didn't lead to a good result. I have received those 2 attachements on mail. I have used Acrobat Pro DC.

An editable Word file out of the Pdf, to look exactly like the Pdf

Hi Angie,

OK, you didn't tell me how you create these but going on what I've seen in the past, many people go to "Print" and then select "Print to PDF." Unfortunately, that brings up Microsoft's PDF generation, NOT one by Adobe. My guess is that you are creating PDF made by Microsoft.

Since you have Acrobat Pro, you should have a tab in Word that shows "Acrobat." From there, you then click on the "Create PDF" icon. Now, curiously, there are two placed that this can be done from: the clouds or on your computer. Personally I'm happy to do it on my computer so I do into the Preferences icon, select where I want the PDF generated, and leave it that way.

 

Please try this and see if that solves the problem.

Dear Gary,

Have you seen my attachements i uploaded in my first post? I dont't need to
print or create any PDF. It was already created! The PDF according to its
properties, was created in Word, exactly. What i need is to fill the Word
file (also attached in my first post) with all the data from the PDF, by
having the exact fonts, etc, layout must be the same, like in a mirror,
what you see in the pdf, to see in the word file. There comes my struggle,
with OCR and everything..Adobe shows different size fonts, fonts i have in
Office, but size i can't make in Office, so on. So this is what i need help
with. I need the right fonts for things up there to make the Word file.
Aren't the files visible to you? (Both word and pdf were sent to me, so no
idea of the original font, it is just a test i have to solve).

Thanks,

Hi Angie,

Forgive me but your very first sentence says "I have received a Word file, in which i have to recreate out of a Pdf everything" which to my eyes implies that you had a word file and were having problems creating a PDF from the Word file that looked like the Word file.

I think what you DO have is a PDF and need to create a Word file from that PDF that looks like the PDF. Is that correct? 

If you are having problems doing that, the problem might be you do not have the same fonts as were captured in the PDF. Unless you have the same fonts in your system, you will NOT be able to create a Word file that matches the PDF.

If this is what you're trying to do I apologise that I missed the intent of your question.

Yes, that is correct. Maybe i didn't express myself clearly. Adobe shows
the PDF has these fonts: ArialMT, Enconding Ansi, BCDEEE+Windings-Regular,
Enconding Identity-H, Helvetica Bold, Enconding Ansi. So there is no way i
can create a Word file out of it somehow, Adobe doesn't help me, right? I
have Arial, but not MT, i have Windings, but not BCDEEE. Isn't any kind of
tool to create a virtual substitute for the missing font? I am new to these
things, so i might ask sillý questions...

[gary_sc]

The quick answer is probably not.

The vast majority of fonts are things that are works of art that are sold. If you do a search on line for any given font, you can see that a full font of all styles and weights can cost hundreds of dollars. If you had created that font, I'm sure you would not like to see your work being subverted from making you money. 

You can find free fonts on like but most of the time these are either one of a set (for example, no bold, italic, or bold italic, or may not have all of the extra characters included). Or they are just not very good fonts or are not well made. 

One other possibility is to see if Adobe Fonts has the font you need. Some of the Adobe Fonts can be accessed via other non-Adobe applications.

Good luck!
