If you open those files in Acrobat, and use the snapshot feature, then "control-a" to select everything, you will see differences in each one. In each case, on the right side, the app selects more than it should be selecting. For example, the sample with inset and color has a small band of white on the right side that is included in the selection that should not be. This was a bug in Acrobat 9. I was hoping to find this problem fixed in this version, but it is not. I only discovered this recently, because I started adding background color to my pages that I was exporting to acrobat from Indesign, and when I exported them, I noticed the uncolored band on the right. It is not a problem with the margins (all .25 in), and the gutter is zero. These are single page exports from Indesign, not facing pages. I suppose the problem could have its origins in some bug in Indesign.

This may be a bug. I use InDesign to create an very important annual booklet. I export it to PDF and then break it apart and convert to WORD so that I can send individual sections to contributors so they can make edits for new year's book. In April, I had no problems and I have done this for 8 years now. See attached. We received an update and now, as of July, when I convert the same document, the formatting is all messed up. For me to get a good version to my contributors it would take me hours to clean it up. If I send it to them as PDF, they cannot make online edits because most do not have professional Acrobat. One thing I did notice that is different in the new version, when you select to save as WORD, the version options say WORD or WORD 97-2003. In the previous version before the update, the choices were WORD or WORD 97-2004. I always chose the 97-2004 version because it did the conversion cleaner. Now I cannot use either version. I need some serious help because this is a very important book for our County. I have no option to get an editable copy to my contributors now. Please help me!!!! I have attached the April version, the July version and the original PDF that the two WORD versions are drawn from. I am using MAC with Sierra version and the PDF is 2017 .009.20058 and WORD is Version 15.36 for 2017

I can see certain documents were created in MS Word with simple follow on/flowing text and standard paragraph styles ie no **** text boxes. Even with the export options turned off, Acrobat does this incredibly annoying export to text boxes where it is simply run-on (flowing) text. You then have to extract the text, box by box to get the document to be in an editable form. Even exporting to rtf has similar issues. Exporting to plain text means you have to format.

In the end, you waste valuable time either extracting the text or having to reformat the text to get something that's useful
