Acrobat Disforms Graphics

I am using Word 2007 and Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.
When i convert a Word-File with Vektor-Graphics it disforms some of them them completely.
Word:
PDF:
ADOBE ACROBAT 8 didi it correctly. And i couldn't find any Setting where i can change this behaviour.
Has anybody an idea?

This might not help you much, but this sounds very similar to a problem I discussed here previously (Aug 20, 2009 - 2:56am).
The contributors here concluded (as I did) that it was a bug.
I reported this on the Adobe bug page but, so far, it hasn't been fixed (Acrobat Standard 9.3 exhibits the same issue).

Problem convert word 2007 acrobat 8 graphics to pdf

Having difficulty converting certain graphics from Word on Windows 7 Professional PC to Adobe PDF.
The same problem exists on the same PC regardless of whether Word 2007 or Word 365 is the originating software. So it is not a problem with the version of Word being used as some blogs have suggested.
Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.4 is installed, and Adobe 8 Distiller is configured according to the settings required.
PDF is created by using Word: File > Print > Adobe PDF Maker

OK.
Cracked it. I hope this saves you some time.
The issues all seem to stem from Word 2007.
Things to get urls working seem to be as follows :
all links in word can't have a trailing /
http://www.subliminal-power.co.uk/ - NO
http://www.subliminal-power.co.uk - YES
When you add a url, each url must have a Screen Tip. You should have this anyway if you're sharing your word doc. It is all for the visually impared and audio I believe.
You have to use tables and not word art for boxes.
Happy Days

Question About Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended

i dont know the program that well..but im trying to put together a pdf of images, a different image on each page of the pdf..i pretty much got that part down
my problem is someone images which resolutions arent that big are coming out much smaller then even there resolution so i was wondering how these can be resized with acrobat while on the page that im creating
like i said dont get confused the images are a good size outside of the program so its not just resizing the image and thats that..its when there added to a page in acrobat that they show smaller then they actually are..this is only a select few so please someone tell me if theres way within the program to resize an image on the page

I think the print margin aspect depends on how you are creating the PDF. If you open the graphics directly in Acrobat, the graphics will open with the margins defined in the graphic in the cases I have done. Small pictures have a real small margin and such. Laying what you want out in another application, be it WORD or one of the Adobe layout packages, is the better way to accomplish the task. Acrobat is meant to provide printing, not layout like you are trying to do.
To put the graphics in directly and be able to adjust size, you would need to add blank pages and on each locate the image on a button (Tools menu). The button would then be set up with the ICON only, using the image at the icon. The advantage of this approach is that you can scale the graphic. If you import the graphic directly, you can not scale it.
Again, the best approach is to use another program to layout your photos as desired and then print to the Adobe PDF printer. The other user has suggested WORD and that is one possibility. If you use WORD, be sure to use the ctrl-Enter or break menu to create new pages. Do not use line breaks to create the paging.

Acrobat 9 pro extended question about saving -- yes

Hi guys,
my problem is kinda simple: If i change a pdf document using acrobat 9 pro and save, it just saves at the original document I was opening. Of course, when I choose save to, it suggest the own documents folder.
Problem now: If I change something and want to close it, the program asks me to save. If I answer yes, it doesnt just saves, it's suggesting the own documents folder, like I'd say "save to".
Is there any possibilty to change this?

Xerox Global Driver and Graphics

We're on Windows XP SP-2 and Adobe Reader and Acrobat 8.12.
We recently deployed Xerox MFD models 5632, 5645, 5665 and 7345 (color). We are using the latest Xerox Global PCL 6 and PS drivers on all models. When users print documents with letterhead the contains a state seal graphic, in Acrobat the graphic is a very dark box with the seal barely visible. In Reader, it prints fine. Any driver.
I read the previous posts regarding this and there doesn't seem to be any resolution on the Adobe side. It seems odd that Acrobat blacks it out, but Reader is ok. Any ideas why that happens?
I'm going to cross post this on the Reader forum.

Hi:
The parts list for your notebook indicates that it has a Realtek RT8723BE 802.11bgn 1x1 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 combination adapter.
These would be the W8.1 drivers you need for that card...

Why won't copy/paste images appear in PDF (from Word 2007)?

I find all places in a Word 2007 document where content copied from Power Point 2007 and then pasted into a Word 2007 document does not appear in the subsequent PDF file I generate. White space of the same size as the pasted content appears in its place. Why is this happening and are there any suggestions to work around this issue? What is curious is the free PDF creation tool that you can use to generate a PDF within Word 2007 (by choosing file save-as PDF) does NOT have this same issue. I don't want to use Word's tool since it doesn't allow for the option settings flexibility I need to produce the final PDF.
I already tried saving the Word file as XML and then re-saving as Word .docx and regenerating the PDF from Acrobat: the graphics are still missing. I also tried in Acrobat Help> Repair Installation and then shut down/restarted my computer. Again, the regenerated PDF is missing the graphics.
Personally, I do not use a copy/paste method; rather, I use insert>picture>from file or paste special as a grphic file type. I know the same graphics placed this way come out fine in a PDF I generate from Acrobat. However, I support a bunch of engineers who make copy/paste a shortcut habit. I will have no luck telling them not to do this.
I appreciate any help with this.

Preferences in Acrobat reader under Page Display are already set to Show Large Images. I assume that is the setting you mentioned.
I don't know of any setting in Word 2007 that would make a difference. Does anyone else have work around suggestions?

PDF from Word 2007 ends up with scrambled Chinese characters

I have a problem with PDF files when converted from a Word 2007 document that includes Traditional Chinese characters and I hope someone might be able to help or point me in the right direction. After converting it to PDF via "Create PDF" from the Acrobat toolbar, the Chinese characters are all wrong. It looks like Chinese but none of the characters actually exist, it's all scrambled and useless. Converting English or German text works fine, so far, it's only the Traditional Chinese text that causes problems.
The strange thing is that prior to installing Office 2007, all worked just fine. I could convert Chinese text from Word 2003 without any problems and other than updating to Word 2007, nothing has changed. Any idea where to start trouble shooting and how to fix it? I've already tried re-installing and reparing both Word and Acrobat but no improvement.
OS: WinXP Professional SP3 (English system)
Adobe: Master Collection CS4 (English)
Acrobat: Acrobat 9 Pro v9.1.3 (English)
PDF Maker: Conversion Settings are set to default "Smallest File Size Web"
Word: Microsoft Office Word 2007 (12.0.6504.5000) SP2 MSO (12.0.6425.1000)
Note: Using "Save As" and select "PDF or XPS" in Word 2007 works fine, the Chinese characters show up properly in the PDF file but I prefer using the PDF Maker from Acrobat to create my PDF files.

I have found that WORD 2007, particularly with docx files, does some strange things to PDF files that you produce. It seems to break a perfectly good graphic into parts and send the parts to the PDF (not usually a problem unless you zoom in). We have tested with AA8 and AA7 with WORD 2007 and gotten these results. WORD 2003 worked like expected. It is almost as though MS decided to put some hooks in OFFICE 2007 for Acrobat. Normally with Acrobat, the graphics come out as a single graphic as stored in the application.
Glad you got the character issue to work. I use a job.settings file that is distributed by a publisher to get an "optimized" form of product for posting. Of course, optimized is always in the eye of the beholder, but I have been happy with it.

Hi Michael,
Thank you for using the Support Forum. There are a couple of PDFs that might help you the first is the Xerox Print Driver Platform document. THe second document that may address your registry issue is the Xerox XML Configuration Editor for Print Drivers. If these documents do not provide the information you need please consider contacting your support centre for further assistance.

How do you prevent Acrobat PDFMaker from rasterizing vector graphics?

I am using the "Create PDF" button (provided by the Acrobat PDFMaker in Acrobat X) to create a PDF from a Microsoft Word 2010 document.
This works fine, except that vector graphics in the Word document appear in the resulting PDF as raster graphics. (That is, when I zoom in, document text outside the graphics appears smooth, but the graphics are blocky; and text inside the graphics that should be retained as text - it's not converted to curves - is just pixels.)
The original artwork for the vector graphics is in CorelDRAW X6 (sorry, Adobe!).
I have exported the following files from the original vector drawing in CorelDRAW:
- EPS (with TIFF preview)
- Windows metafile (.wmf)
- Enhanced metafile (.emf)
I can insert any of these files into Word okay (Insert > Picture), but the resulting PDF always contains a rasterized (bitmapped) version of the vector graphic ("line art").
From memory, this didn't use to happen in my previous working environment (Acrobat 8 Pro with Word 2003, using artwork exported from CorelDRAW 12).
How do you prevent Acrobat X PDFMaker from rasterizing vector graphics? Or is Word 2010 (or CorelDRAW X6) somehow to "blame" here?

Transparency Flattening is being invoked.
From the Create PDF button, select Properties, what is your setting for Default Settings? Select High Quality Print

Reduce File Size in Acrobat Pro (9.5.5) Corrupts Graphics in PDF Documents - shows up as black image

Whenever I use Reduce File Size in Acrobat Pro (9.5.5), sometimes some of the images (not all) get corrupted and show up as a black image in the new document.
Actually, the new reduced document looks okay when viewed in Acrobat, but the problem shows up when viewed in the Preview application on the Mac.
I'm using Acrobat 9.5.5 with Mac OS 10.8.6
I've tried re-importing the graphic into a new graphic box, which didn't work. Thinking there may be some type of corruption with the actual graphic file, I then tried viewing the graphic, then taking a screenshot of it to create a completely new file, and then re-importing the new graphic file into the original document (created in Adobe In Design 5.0.4). I then export the new document as a pdf, and brought it into Acrobat Pro to do the Reduce File Size. Same thing happens - black box appears where the graphic was.
I then tried using the Reduce File Size within the Save As function of the Preview application on the Mac - while the graphic remains intact, many of the other graphics in the document are "reduced" too much, to the point where the image quality is seriously degraded, and therefore not usable.
Any other ideas?

Hi Anoop,
I can share the graphic file, but not the pdf which contains it (as it contains confidential information) - thanks!

Acrobat 9.4.2 does not save/export all graphic formats

Dear all,
Obviously i had my glass of wine to early! See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/798630 for the whole story of my re-re-re-istallation of Acrobat.
The installation of 9.0 from the TCS2 DVD was OK
After update to 9.2 my tests displayed correct results for all desired tasks
After the update to 9.4.2 i obviously did not test thoroughly enough (hence the glass of whine).
Later it turned out that 9.4.2 does not save/export graphic formats:
pdf (all flavours), eps and ps are exported correctly
html (all flavours) export a html file and the image as jpg correctly
jpg, jp2 does not save anything, and no error message gives a hint
doc, rtf save issue error message "Save As failed to process this document. No file has been created"
png and tif do not save anything, and no error message gives a hint
xml table and xml export correctly
txt (both flavours) are exported correctly
Hence the only method i can get a picture is to export as HTML and through away the HTML... or: enlarge the picture as much as possible on the screen and take a screen shot.
What is missing in this installation?
During my re-re-re-installtions some Windows updates may have happened.
Any help available for this issue?
Klaus Daub e

The story goes on and hopefully Adobe has an answer/fix for this
There was an automatic update from 9.4.2 to 9.4.3, but the problem still existed.
So I decided to uninstall Acrobat and re-install it for the nth time: start with the installation of 9.0 from TCS2, reboot, update to 9.2, reboot, update to 9.4.3 and reboot again.
The result is very mixed (and this was alrady with the newly installed 9.0):
Save as RTF or DOC creates RTF and DOC files - although the contents is not that useful.
Save as PNG is OK
Save as JPG, JP2 or TIF works, but it turns out, that the files are all PNG (although with the various extensions)!
Creating a snapshot now works correctly. The clipboard receives a bitmap. However: although I have set the preferences for the snapshot to be of 96 dpi the bitmap gets the property 72 dpi!
Setting acrobat.exe to be Compatible to XP SP3 does not change a jota.
Keep in mind: on Windows XP things worked correctly for a long time. Switching to Window 7, x64 creates this strange problem.
I need to start with Acrobat from the TCS2 DVD, because otherwise I do not get the correct implementation for working with FrameMaker.
I'm very reluctant to buy Acrobat X, for me there are too many gimmics there (besides the costs).

Graphics in FrameMaker 9 lost when converted in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

Since upgrading to FrameMaker 9, some graphics that appear fine in FrameMaker become black boxes in the PDFs created by Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. By finding the original graphic and reimporting it, the problem is solved, but the original graphic is not always available. Is there any other workaround to this problem created by the software? Suggestions would be gratefully appreciated!

I use Save As PDF (book). When I print to PDF, I don't get the problem (but I don't get the bookmarks)
I think you find in many places on this forum that the best practices for making a PDF is to print to the Adobe PDF printer, either directly or indirectly (saving the ps file and distilling with Distiller). It is my understanding that there are problems with Save As PDF.
In any event, you should be able to get bookmarks by printing to Adobe PDF printer. In the Print dialog, select Generate Acrobat Data and click PDF Setup. In the PDF setup dialog > Bookmarks tab, select Generate PDF Bookmarks and select the formats to bookmark. It is the same dialog that displays when you do Save As PDF.
Because your graphics are COPIED into the Frame files, I know of no way to get them out again from the Frame file. That is why I always import graphics by reference, so that the original graphic is always available if needed for editing or reimportation.
If you absolutely need a graphic file AND the Frame to PDF workflow is working properly, you can always create the PDF for the page with the graphic (turning OFF all resampling and compression). Then open the file in Illustrator and delete all but the graphic; then save as PDF or eps. Or open the PDF in Acrobat Professional and export the image (if a bitmap) or delete all but the graphic and save as PDF.

Acrobat Std/Pro 8 addin for Outlook causing causing corruption of email graphics & pollution of Outl

Our IT Support team, in conjunction with Microsoft Premier Support, has been investigating reports of email messages not correctly displaying graphics. Microsoft Premier Support has identified the Adobe PDFmaker addin for Microsoft Outlook as the cause.
When active, the Adobe PDFmaker addin stops Outlook from clearing it's temporary working folder, resulting in this folder becoming 'pollulted' over time, and ultimately affecting the ability of Outlook to use the temporary working folder for caching graphics received in emails.
Please follow the below steps to replicate the issue.
(Note: our testing has been performed with Adobe Acrobat Standard / Professional version 8.1.2 and Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 SP2 and SP3 running from Windows XP SP2)
Steps to replicate
==================
1. Ensure Adobe Acrobat Standard or Professional is installed to the machine
2. Ensure Microsoft Outlook is closed
3. Identify the location of your Outlook temporary working folder. This information can be obtained from the registry key: HKEY_CURENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Security\OutlookSecureTempFolder
4. Using Explorer, delete the contents of the Outlook temporary working folder (eg. C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK91)
5. Once the Outlook temporary working folder is empty, open Microsoft Outlook, and open an email message containing graphics
6. Observe that the Outlook temporary working folder now contains the supporting JPG images that are loaded by the email :
7. Close Microsoft Outlook
8. Wait for 30 seconds, and re-open Microsoft Outlook
9. Re-open the same email message containing embedded graphic images, confirm that the graphics are correctly displayed.
10. Close the email, then close Microsoft Outlook
11. Observe that the Outlook temporary working folder now contains a second copy of the supporting JPG images that are loaded by the email
This is a bug. The expected behaviour of Microsoft Outlook would be that the above files should be automatically deleted from the Outlook temporary folder when the email is closed.
With continued use the Outlook temporary folder will continue to grow as the user opens & closes emails with embedded graphics, as the files in this folder are not being automatically deleted when no longer accessed by Microsoft Outlook. Eventually this will affect the performance of Outlook and ultimately result in the graphic images not being displayed in any email messages.
The Workaround
==============
Microsoft have recommended the below registry entry be modified in order to rectify this issue:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\PDFMOutlook.PDFMOutlook\LoadBe havior
The value of the LoadBehavior key needs to be changed from "3" to "2" to disable the Adobe PDFMaker addin from Microsoft Outlook.
We have tested Microsoft's recommendation and confirmed that it resolves the above symptoms.

William,
Thanks for the report. May I ask that you file a bug report so that
Adobe will be officially aware of the issue and fix. Maybe it will be
fixed or the solution posted in the knowledgebase.

Copy and paste graphics and text in Acrobat 9 Pro

I'm a new user of Acrobat Pro and am trying to copy a combination of text and graphics from the top half of a page to the blank bottom half of the page. I've not had much success with what I thought would be a simple thing to do and would welcome suggestions. Here's a summary of the options I've tried so far for graphics, text, and both text and graphics.
A. Graphic Alone:
1. When I use the Select Object Tool, I can highlight the graphic but when I unclick the left mouse button, the highlighting disappears, so I can't copy the graphic.
2. When I use theTouchup Object Tool, only an oblong portion of the graphic is highlighted when I click on the object. The only way to highlight all of the graphic is to hold down the shift key and click on successive portions of the graphic until I have highlighted all of it. When I then right-click the mouse, I can copy the graphic. However, when I then place the mouse cursor in the bottom half of the page and do a righ-click paste, the graphic appears to be pasted on top of the original graphic. I can then drag the graphic to the bottom half of the page. I can also paste the object on to a blank page from Create PDF>Blank Page. Overall, this is not elegant nor intuitive, but it does work.
B. Text Alone:
1. I can copy the text but when it is pasted, it is not formatted like the orginal, nor can I place it where I want on the bottom half of the page. This is true whenther I use the basic copy function or the Touchup Text Tool.
2. When I use the Touchup Object Tool and click on the text, Acrobat places similarly-formatted text in a box that I can then right-click and copy. I can then paste the text on a blank page with the text formatted identical to the way it was on the original page. With several blocks of text formatted differently, this procedure could work but would require a lot of work to create a format with placement identical to the original.
C. Text and Graphics Together
1. When I use the Touchup Object Tool and attempt to highlight the top half of the page, the Tool insists on including the blank bottom half of the page in its selection. I can copy everything on the page but I haven't found a way to select just the objects in the top half of the page -- I can copy some, but the selected objects aren't highlighted and so this isn't a satisfactory route. It seems obvious to me that Touchup Object should be able to select just the objects I want. But then, even the Select Object Tool doesn't do that, either -- it Selects an object but then you can't do anything with the object.
2. Using the snapshot tool, I can highlight both graphics and text and copy them -- I can even export them them to another program via the clipboard and create an external file. However -- regardless of whether I just copy and paste, or do a Touchup Object file import, or whether the file is bitmap or jpg -- when I paste the resulting object or file onto a page in Acrobat, the image always comes out at 200% of its orginal size. I looked for a Resize option, but couldn't find one.
This is all very time-consuming and frustrating since what I am trying to do is not rocket science. Surely there is a simple way to do this.
By the way, there are no security restrictions on the file.
George

Hi,
In response to both "...is that normal?" — Yes.
PDF is not a file format meant to support editing of layout/format/etc or text content creation.
You'd master content in an authoring application (FrameMaker, InDesign, MS Word, etc.).
The PDF file is the output of this mastered content.
Some minor touchups are possible with Acrobat (think whiteout/correction tape on a printed piece of paper -- PDF page content is the electronic "finished paper").
With that said, you might play with File > Create PDF > From Blank Page and use the Typewriter tool to enter text.
To output MS Word content to PDF use the Adobe PDFMaker.
Prior to Word 2007, you'd use "Adobe PDF" on the menu line.
With Word 2007, you'd use the Acrobat Ribbon features.
Be well...

EMF graphics demaged in PDF created in Word 2010 with Acrobat X Pro,

We export EMF from a modelling tool and insert the EMF graphics in Word (see Word window). Creating a PDF with Acrobat X Professional leads to a damaged graphic (see Acrobat window). It was no problem in the Word 2003 & Acrobat 7 Pro "suite"...
What can I do to get embedded EMF graphics as before?

Hi pwhite2315,
Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat are you using.
Try using 'Create PDF' option under Acrobat ribbon in your word file and check for the same.
Also, please open 'Preferences' for Acrobat PDFMaker and check what 'Conversion Settings' have you selected.
Let me know.
Regards,
Anubha
