How Do I Convert Multiple PDF to Word Documents?

Greetings,

I was asked to convert multiple PDF files to multiple Word files. I know how to convert a PDF file to a Word file, but haven't seen a way to convert multiple files at once. I'm hoping that the conversion would keep the file name the same, just change the program. I've got Adobe Acrobat Standard DC.

Thank you in advance!

You need Acrobat Pro to be able to do that.

I used to be able to batch created multiple MS Word files using Acrobat Pro 17. For some reason that feature has stopped working. One of the error messages refers to PDFmaker file. Cant find it.

Got the same problem here, I don't how to batch convert PDF to Word with Adobe. Though some online PDF converters can process batch, I don't think it is safe to upload my files to those online programs.

    In Acrobat Pro use the Action Wizard.

    PDF Professional is not a Adobe software product.

    The Action Wizard is available in Adobe Acrobat Pro. 


    Thank you, Bernd. I've found the Action Wizard and added the Export function. A follow up question: when I select "word" format the program 1) still requires that I approve the conversion to word format (i.e., vs. excel or another format) and 2)  that I select where I want it saved (when this is part of the "Save" function) and 3) what the file name should be (again, part of the "Save" function also baked into the wizard). Once I set this up, I'd like to not have to click / decide where things should go / be named for each PDF... Is that possible?
