workaround making non-Adobe pdf files editable

Community Beginner ,
Jun 05, 2024 Jun 05, 2024

I have pdf files, some of which are scanned,  that were not created in Adobe, but needs to be exported to Word, Excel and Powerpoint using Acrobat Pro.

How can I do that without the format (texts and images) changing when converted?

Anyone mind sharing how they make pdf files editable that was not originally created in Adobe?

Thanks

There's no real trick to it. Export it and hope the results are good. If not, you'll need to manually modify them.

If the files have issues with font encodings, though, what you can do is export all the pages as (high-quality) image files, such as PNGs, then create a new PDF file from those images and run Text Recognition on it. It should yield a better result than the original, hopefully.
