Acrobat Pro XI . converting of excel and word to pdf

After installing Acrobat Pro XI two days ago, the conversions of excel and word to pdf are less than optimal. Poor fonts, color and sometimes blurry.

That's very kind of you Bill.
Since my last forum post I have uninstalled Acrobat Pro, - with its updates - and reinstalled the original from disk. The conversion from Word 2007 to PDF is working fine. And that was where I was prepared to leave it. Of course any updates would not be possible.
However, since you have offered to help, I'd be most grateful of any assistance.
To answer your question, the usual way I create PDF files from Word is from within the open Word program. From there I can simply 'Save As' to PDF format.
That's the way MS says to do it. Is there another way? The updates stop this working. The process begins but then stops part way through and dies. No pdf file is created.
I'm not familiar with the print to file option. I had a look at print options from within Word but no mention of any PDF Maker although Adobe PDF is listed as a printer. However, if I try to print to Adobe PDF I get an error saying there is an error in the printer setup.
With thanks
Robert

Are you using the Office for Mac 2011 version, as you need to do? The Office for Mac 2004 is Not at all compatible with Mountain Lion, and the 2008 version has been noted to have some problems running with ML.
Hope this helps

Working with EXCEL and WORD files on a Mac Pro

Hello,
I have a lot of EXCEL and WORD files and the compatibility with NUMBERS and PAGES is not really satisfying. Is there a EXCEL and WORD app which runs without surprises on a Mac Pro?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Microsoft sells its own Microsoft Office version for OS X > http://www.microsoft.com/mac Microsoft Office for Mac will be the application that will give you less headaches when using Office documents, so I recommend it.
Another application you should consider is LibreOffice, which is free > http://www.libreoffice.org

Is there a free version of Adobe to allow me to convert Excel and word files to PDF's

is there a free version of Adobe to allow me to convert Excel and word files to PDF's

Nothing free no.
At best there is a subscription you can purchase for a relatively low monthly price ($7.50 per month) that can be accessed through Adobe Reader (which is free).

I converted a chart to excel and word but it comes out as illegible gibberish that I cannot use. If this is the best I can get from the converter, I need a refund.

How can I download excel and word

I need work in excel and word in my iPed - please guide

You cannot download or install Word or Excel for the iPad. MS has not released an iOS version.
There are MS Office compatible apps available in the app store like Quick Office Pro and Documents to Go. Take a look at those and see what you think. Apple also has their iWorks suite of apps, Pages, Numbers and Keynote that are compatible with the MS Office apps.

I want to get an app where i can work power point, excel, and word?

i heard about keynote, numbers, and letters. I tried to find it, but i couldnt. Thank you for your patience and effort,

I would suggest using Office for Mac and you need to buy it at a physical Apple store or downlaod from Microsoft. It is a fully functioning and compatible with MS Office. It's about 150$.
I tried the various Apple products - like Numbers- and they are not as sophisticated as the Office products. As well, if you are going to store Office products in the Apple icloud then they get converted to the various Apple i-products - ugh, it make s a mess.
So I store all my Powerpoint, Excel and Word documents on Skydrive cloud where they are stored as native office products.
Cheers

In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings. Has anyone found a fix for this?

In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings. Has anyone found a fix for this?

It shouldn't print each page as a separate job and
each tab has a different name, so, even if it did, it
ought to give the printouts the name of the tabs.
It doesn't print each page as a separate job unless the orientation is different - that's the bug. And the name of the job is taken from the name of the window, not the name of the tabs. That's how every application works, which, I think, is why Excel allows the specific selection or the active sheets to be printed.
Still, that does sound like a plausible explanation.
However, even if presented with multiple prints with
the same name, the spooler should print each one!
The spooler does print each one - you can watch the spooler process the multiple jobs. I think, though, that they are being overwritten since all the jobs have the name of the window as the job title. And since this happens after the Save Dialog is presented, there's really nothing the application can do. To Excel, it's one job, the multiple orientations don't matter; it's just that Apple doesn't handle it correctly.
As a workaround, you can print the selections one at a time and give them unique names and then rejoin them in one PDF file.

PDF creating - Excel and Word - page size

When using PDF maker in Excel and Word, A4 always gets converted to US Letter size. Is there any way of correcting this?

"an error message" really doesn't tell us much.

I use Entourage for all my email and Excel and Word. From time to time one or other will drop out which means re starting the iMac. A real pest.

I use Entourage for my email and Excel and Word for their respective applications. From time to time one or other will drop out which means re starting the iMac. A real pest. Comments would be welcomed.

Not sure how to do this except to reply to myself.
The question I asked is not "answered," but for whatever reason Acrobat XI has settled down and is working normally as before. Don't have a clue why. I did not make any further changes in anything. Thanks to those who read my question and pondered.

Acrobat Pro 6 Average Daily Production and Math.round problem

Acrobat Pro 6 Average Daily Production and Math.round problem
(Production.0) (154) (whole units) . (Production.1) (90) (fractional) / (divided by) 31 (days) results in (Average.0) (4)(whole units) . (Average.1) (10) (fractional) using :Math.round.� Noticed that 154 (whole units) . 85 through 99 (fractional) also show 4.10. (without Math.round : 5.00)
Method:
�Production.0� (whole units) . �Production .1� (fractional) / Days = (Average Daily Production) (�Average.0� (whole units) . (Average.1) (fractional)
� Production.0 (value not calculated)�, � Production 1 (calculated) (event.value = util.printx("0099", (event.value)).substr(-2,2); � �Average.0 (value not calculate)�, and �Average.1 has following calculation:
var punits = this.getField("Production.0");
var pfrac = this.getField("Production.1");
var average = 0.0;
average = (punits.value + pfrac.value / 100) / this.getField("Days").value;
this.getField("Average.0").value = average - average % 1;
this.getField("Average.1").value = util.printx("0099", Math.round((average % 1 * 100))).substr(-2,2);
�Math.round� appears to be a problem. Also, could you explain the purpose of �0099� . Anyway, why would 154.85 through 154.90 divided by 31 give 4,10. Also, their must be a better way, to find the average daily production. All you have to do is divided the production (whole. fractional) by the days, and display the average daily production as (whole. fractional). Any suggestions??

There are a many loose ends in your question.
First, I have never seen before a variable type called 'var'. Is it a java primitive or a class?
Next, I cannot seem to find any class that has the printx method.
When it comes to substr(-2,2), I get confused. First, I thought that it was a method of the String class, but I only got as far as substring(beginIndex, endIndex).
If you really must break the production and average into pieces, try this:
float average = (punits + pfrac/100) / days;
int avg_units = (int)average;
int avg_frac = (int)( (average - avg_units) * 100 );My guess is that util.printx("0099", x) formats x having two optional digits and two mandatory digits, showing 0-99 as 00-99, but allows to show numbers with three and four digits.
154.85/31 = 4,9951612903225806451612903225806
154.99/31= 4,9996774193548387096774193548387
If you round the fraction of theese numbers multiplied by 100 ( = 99.51.. and 99.968...) you get 100, and this will be the output of printx. My guess for "4.10" is that substr(-2,2) returns the two first characters of the string, because the start index should not be zero. (According to java docs, substring throws an exception on a negative index, so what kind of class are you really using ??????)

After hours of back-up, downloading and uploading...I am now updated with all the latest Mac software. However, I no longer have access to Excel and Word. Is there a way I can access my documents in either of those? Help, please.

If you have older versions of excel and word that previously ran under the Rosetta emulator (allows PowerPC code to run on Intel system), they will no longer work with Lion.
You can use the Apple programs Pages and Numbers to access the files. They can be bought and downloaded from the App store. NeoOffice is available at http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php which has Lion support. OpenOffice doesn't talk to Lion support, it's at http://www.openoffice.org/

To detail the steps, please do as I describe:
Important
This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the
registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry,
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Back-up-the-registry
To open the Registry Editor, please press Win + R, type regedit in the blank box, press
Enter. / Or we can type regedit.exe in Windows 8.1 Search, you'll find it easily.
Now the Registry Editor is open.
Then we see the pane on left, expand the following path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
Then we can see a list on right, find Cache, right click on it, click
Modify..., under Value data, change the value to something like
C:\Windows\Temp, click OK.
Exit Registry Editor.
As for "You might also right click on the file with file explorer, choose Properties, then General tab and click on the Unblock button." Just find the file, right click on it, choose
Properties, under General tab, if you see a
Unblock button, click on it.
"Some of our customers found it sometimes a permission problem.
cmd => dcomcnfg" Do the following:
Press Win + R, type in cmd in the blank box, press
Enter.
In the new black-background window, type in dcomcnfg, press
Enter.
Then the Component Services window will pop up, on the left pane, expand
Component services -> Computes ->

OK.
I hope I've explained the steps clearly.
Good luck.
