TIP 42: Saving a PDF as a Word or RTF File

Acrobat lets you save a PDF file in two formats that you can then use in Word or other document-processing programs. When the document is open in Acrobat, choose File > Save As to open the Save As dialog, and choose from Rich Text Format (RTF) or Word document (DOC) format based on how you plan to use the content.

Once you choose a format, click Settings to access the options for your desired format (Figure 42). A Save As dialog appears; the options vary depending on the format.

Here are some pointers:

• Include Comments is selected by default; deselect it if you don't need comments in the exported document.

• Don't export the images if you don't need them. They add to file size and processing time.

• If you want to export images and your PDF file contains both color and grayscale images, choose Determine Automatically from the Use Colorspace pull-down list. If you don't absolutely need the images to be in color, it's a good idea to select the Grayscale option since the files are processed faster and are smaller in size.

  The Difference Is… Check your document carefully when you export a PDF document to Word format, as some text may be interpreted as images. If you review a DOC file exported from Acrobat and notice some text looks different, try clicking it in Word. If it selects as an image, you have to process the content manually. To do this, select the text in Acrobat and copy and paste it into Word, or rekey the text in Word.

• The option for generating tags is selected by default. These tags are not maintained in the exported document; they are used only in the conversion process and then discarded. Leave the option selected.
