How to convert PDF files to Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint
Steve Gottwals – September 6, 2012
Many people think that PDF is a static format and that content is locked inside, but with Acrobat XI you can save time from retyping that information—by exporting it directly into Microsoft Word and Excel. And with Acrobat Pro you can export it into Microsoft Powerpoint as well. So here is a file I have in Acrobat, and if I click on tools/content editing. And export file to Microsoft Powerpoint, let's go ahead and save. Let's go over to my folder. And as it comes up I can open it in Powerpoint, and I can see that all the content and editing came over including things like bullets and the master layout. In another PDF document, I can select, for instance, a table. And I can export this to Word. But I am going to choose to export it to Excel. I will do a right click. Export selection as...let's do an Excel Workbook. Save. Again, go over to my folder, and open up the Excel file. And again the content and the format all came over great. Acrobat XI saves you the hassle of re-typing that information so you can get your job done faster.

1 month agoHi Marwan,
I’m guessing you would need a localized version of Acrobat to do this. The Acrobat XI installer now includes a multi-user interface with other language options. One of the options I see under the Custom Setup is English with Arabic support. Have you looked at this at all?
Thanks,
Lori

Hi Kelvin,
When you use the PDFMaker macro to create your PDF file from PowerPoint, there is a Preference icon under the Acrobat Ribbon in PowerPoint. Here you can check to “Convert Speaker Notes”. This will convert the text in your speaker notes to a comment in Acrobat and this comment can be toggled on or off. Then, if you convert this PDF file back to PPT the text from the comment will automatically be converted back into your speaker notes.
