This PDF contains interactive features that are not supported by PDF reflow

Asked By simon john 40 points N/A Posted on - 09/11/2012

Hi Techyv,

I experience problems with my PDF file, I tried to open it through Microsoft word, the Microsoft word launched and telling me the file is being processed. After that Microsoft seems not recognize the file format and at last I get an error message, here is the error message.

"This PDF contains interactive features that are not supported by PDF reflow. Word will not display this content"

I am confused with this error message, I also tried to open the same file with Microsoft word several times and watch the result each time the file opened.

Please tell me how to solve this problem.

Thank you

Hi,

The reason why Microsoft Word can't open it is because it is a different file type. PDF files are in .pdf while Microsoft office files are in .doc, .docx, etc. To open the .pdf file, you will need a PDF viewer. You may download the PDF viewer from the link below. It is free and once you have installed it, you can already open PDF files without a problem.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

Hi Simon John,

It is not permitted to open a PDF file in MS Word since the file type is not compatible with MS Word. However, if you wish to edit your PDF file, you will need to convert it to MS Word. There are a lot of websites that offer free conversion. Here is one: https://www.pdftoword.com . You just need to upload your PDF file and they will send your converted MS Word file to your email address.

Hope this helps.

Hi there!

What version of adobe are you using?

That may be the reason. If you are using Adobe Reader 10, then that is the problem. There is Adobe Reader X protection mode.

A lot of people have this kind of problem. Just try to download an older version of Adobe. Try Adobe Reader 9. It will work just fine.

You might have used Acrobat Pro version, this has extensive features that sometimes cannot be read when opening in Word.

You might also be using a newer OS windows 8, since it is new it may not be as compatible to Acrobat as it was before.

With the error you are getting it mentioned about PDF Reflow, when your document is on PDF Reflow, it temporarily removes the tag you created in the document like the digital signatures, page numbers, comments, forms, and the like.

You might want to check how you tagged the document.

Hi,

PDF can only be viewed by using adobe acrobat product. You cannot view PDF files on the Microsoft Word application for the reason that they are competing on the business trends. You cannot also completely convert PDF files into .Doc or .Docs files. I can recommend that you have to download https://get.adobe.com/reader/. This is a PDF viewer application for free and original. Use it well.
