I am trying to convert long but simple PDFs to excel but I keep getting an error message. I have tried disabling OCR, but nothing. Some of my files are rather large, but smaller than 100MB. Any suggestions?

Hi marianaach,

Please make sure that you are, in fact, using Adobe Acrobat (and not Adobe Reader/ExportPDF online service). You won't run into that 100 MB file-size limit in Acrobat, like you will using the ExportPDF online service. To convert a file in Acrobat, you choose File > Save as Other > Spreadsheet > Microsoft Excel Workbook.

Please let us know how it goes.

Best,

Sara

Thank you Sara. That is exactly what I've been doing though. Half the times

the program crashes and the other half it tells me that it was unable to

save the file. Do you have any other suggestions? I've managed to convert

small files, but starting at 15MB it just doesn't work.

Best,

Mariana

Hi Mariana,

Please tell me more about your system. Are you on Mac OS or Windows, and what version? When Acrobat crashes, do you receive an error message?

Can you please tell me a bit more about how these PDF files were created? (All PDFs aren't created equally, so it could be that the files you're trying to convert aren't well-formed).

Best,

Sara
