Hi Janetb,

Sorry for the delay in response.

As you get the garbled text in the Word document when you export PDF, it seems to be the font issue.

Please try once to copy and paste the text from PDF in Word document.

If you still get the garbled text, it means that the system does not have that font available.

In this case, you may try recreating the PDF from Adobe PDF maker.

If it is a scanned PDF, try to run OCR.

Also, check the document properties.

Open PDF and go to File > Properties.

Try once to export PDF online here https://cloud.acrobat.com/.

Open the link and sign in with your Adobe ID.

Then go to Export PDF and upload the file.

Check if it converts properly.

It would be helpful if you can share the document, so we can check it on our end and provide you the information accordingly.
