How to convert a pdf attachment to a word document?
I received evidence for an article that I wrote to make final corrections but when I open the file it is a set of symbols that I can't read. Please help, I'm on a deadline.
If you mean that you open a PDF with Adobe Reader and the document appears to use a symbol instead of something recognizable font... the file is damaged and you will need to get the sender to send again.
If you mean you are trying to edit a pdf document by opening Word, you can do that.
You can change (some) pdf documents if you have Adobe Acrobat (which, unlike Adobe Reader, is NOT free). The only way you can change a pdf without Acrobat document is to use the optical recognition of characters (OCR) software. If you have a scanner, this software might have been bundled with it. Or you could see if the pdf to print and scan file then it would result in an editable document - once again, if there is an OCR software at your disposal.
You can ask the sender to send the document as a word (or Rich Text Format (rtf), which can be opened by Word).
Or you can simply print the pdf, annotate the old-fashioned (with a red pencil) way, take to Kinko's, Staples, or a similar office supply place and get it scanned to pdf and then send this return pdf.

How to export a PDF file to a word document? at this time he came with "specified by a policy (CMap) encoding is missing? What can I do? Thank you
Hi frenchiem,
This is due to the PDF file cannot display the original fonts. To fix it, creator must create the PDF file with the police embed option enabled. Thus, the user can open the file on any platform with the same layout. Or the product Acrobat can display them after installing the media kit for police on the client side.

You need Acrobat and can then use the file--> save money...--> Microsoft Word. Do not expect miracels. PDF files are not intended for the edition and you can end up with clumps of text and lose all the formatting and may have to rebuild the document completely.
