Conversion options for Rich Text Format or Microsoft
Word format
If you have an Adobe PDF version of a document, but you don't have the original
application file, you can save the text to Rich Text Format (RTF), a standard for
exchanging content between text-editing applications. Images are saved by default in
JPEG format. You can also convert Adobe PDF files to Microsoft Word format (.doc).
Note: The text file you obtain when you convert a PDF file to RTF or Word format is not
equivalent to the source file in the authoring application. Some coding information may be
lost in the conversion.
To convert an Adobe PDF document to RTF or Word format:
1. In the Save As dialog box, choose Rich Text Format (*.rtf) or Microsoft Word format (*.
doc) for Save As Type (Windows) or Format (Mac OS), and click Settings.
2. Select any of the following options. When you are finished, click OK and click Save to
convert the PDF document.
Include Comments
Preserves PDF comments.
Retain Columns
Preserves the column layout. If not set, the text flow of a page appears as a single column.
The way the columns appear depends on the application and version used to display the
RTF or DOC file. For example, not all versions of Microsoft Word properly display
multicolumn format from an RTF file.
Retain Page Size, Margin
Preserves the page size and margins in page layouts.
Include Images
The default output image format is JPEG.
Output Format
Select JPEG or PNG for the image format, and then select the color space and resolution
options.
Use Color Space
Allow the color space to be determined automatically, or choose Color or Grayscale.
Change Resolution
Downsamples images. If you do not select this option, images are created at the same
resolution as in the PDF document.
Downsample To
Select the resolution to downsample images to. Images are never upsampled.
Generate Tags For Untagged Files
Tags files that are not already tagged, such as PDF files created using Acrobat 4.0 or
earlier. If this option is not selected, you'll be prompted to set your Save As preferences to
generate tags for untagged files.
Note: Tags are applied as part of the conversion process and are discarded after the
conversion. This is not a method for creating tagged PDF files from legacy files.
You can convert multiple Adobe PDF documents to RTF using the Batch
