Use the Export command
to convert a PDF to Microsoft Word format, or Rich Text Format (RTF),
a standard for exchanging content between text-editing applications.
Images in the PDF are saved by default in JPEG format. The text
file you obtain when you export a PDF to Word or RTF is not equivalent
to the source file in the authoring application. Some coding information
may be lost in the conversion.
You can also export a PDF to
plain text or accessible text. Accessible text follows the reading
order preference selected in the Reading preferences, and includes comments
and form fields in its output. Accessible text also includes some formatting,
such as line breaks. Any alternate text in the document tags is
used in place of images and figures. Plain text follows the structure
order of text in the document and ignores all artifacts and figure
elements in the conversion. Hard hyphens are preserved, and soft
hyphens are removed.
- Choose File > Export, and then choose a text
format: Microsoft Word Document, Rich Text Format, or Text (Accessible
or Plain).
- Click Settings, select the options you want, click OK,
and click Save.
Word and RTF options(For a list of plain text options, see the
options for HTML and XML.)
- Layout Settings
- Specifies how to interpret the layout of the document. The Retain
Flowing Text option preserves the flow of the text, but does not
necessarily preserve the layout. This setting is useful if you export
a document with a complex layout, such as multiple columns, and
you want to retain the text flow for easy editing. The Retain Page
Layout option preserves the layout of the document, but the resulting
file sometimes has more text boxes.
- Regenerate Tags To Optimize Layout If The Document
Is Already Tagged
- When saving a PDF to Word or RTF, Acrobat uses any existing
tags to generate the output layout. If the tags in a PDF do not
represent the logical structure of the document, the resulting layout
is not necessarily optimal. When this option is selected, Acrobat
removes the existing tags and then adds new tags to the document
before exporting it.
- Include Comments
- Preserves PDF comments.
- Include Images
- Includes images in the final output. The default image format
is JPEG.
- Output Format
- Specifies the image format. Select JPEG or PNG, and then
select the color space and resolution options.
- Use Colorspace
- Specifies the color space. Choose Color or Grayscale, or
let the color space be determined automatically.
- Change Resolution
- Downsamples images. If you do not select this option, images
are created at the same resolution as in the PDF.
- Downsample To
- Specifies the resolution for downsampling images. Images
are never upsampled.
