Convert Adobe PDF to Word

Okay, I'm having some major problems trying to convert a PDF to Word. I"m using Adobe Acrobat Standard 7.0. So basically, I have the file open in Adobe Acrobat, go to File - Save As, change the 'save as type' to 'microsoft word document', and receive this error message:


"Acrobat was unable to make this document accessible because of the following error:

Bad PDF;could not read page structure <bad pdf; error in processing fonts: unsupported Type 2 font>

Please note that some pages of this document may have been changed . Because of this failure you are advised not to save these changes. "



So I've looked around the web but I haven't found any resolutions to this problem. I have no problems converting another PDF file. apparently this file and others I have have some sort of font issue when trying to convert. I have updated Adobe, used the 'complete' option when installing Adobe. Anyone with any ideas?

is it possible the pdf is an image and not an actual text document?

No, the PDF is definately a text document. I might have to go back to the 'sender' of these PDF's because all of them that I received have the same error message when converting.

Are they locked by the sender?

can you use the text highlight tool and highlight the text in Adobe and copy/paste it to Word?

Hi,
