Hi all,

I created a pdf form using Adobe livecycle. Now I want to convert this pdf form into word document.
When I opened it in Adobe Acrobat Pro and tried to save in word format an error message popped up saying "Save As failed to process this document. No file was created".
I also tried to convert the pdf using a conversion software. The conversion failed and an error message was displayed saying "The PDF file you have submitted is password protected and cannot be opened for converting You must remove the open password from the PDF prior to submitting it to our service".

Can anyone please help me with this.

Thanks,
Archana

You cannot convert a LiveCycle form directly into a Word Document. In fact, most of the conversions from a regular PDF aren't all that good.

If you really want to do this then Print the LiveCycle form to PDF, then conver that PDF.

Is there a reason you want to convert to Word? Why did you create the LiveCycle form in the first place? The workflow is supposed to be that you use word to design the layout of your form, then convert to LiveCycle, not the other way around.

I'm trying to convert a word document with tables to a word document. It converts, but locks up when I try to view the page that starts the tables. What can I do to prevent this for happening.
