Chapter 5: Exporting PDFs

If you don't have access to the source files that created an Adobe PDF, you can still copy images and text from the
PDF to use elsewhere, or export the PDF to a reusable format. You can also export images in a PDF to another format.

Quickstart

Following are overview steps to some common conversion tasks.
Export as Word
If you don't have the original file from which a PDF was created, you can save the PDF as a Word document that you
can then edit in Word.
Click Export in the Tasks toolbar, and then choose Word Document.

information may be lost.

Click Export in the Tasks toolbar, choose More Formats, and then choose the desired text format.
