Can't create PDF from MS word 2007 Doc

I am using CS3 Acrobat Pro 8.2 and I can't get a Word doc to PDF.  It starts but then just stops at about 10%.  I have tried importing from Acrobat and just get an error message stating "An unexpected error occurred. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF."
Anyone have any ideas as to what may be the problem?

Bill, when using Word or any other MS office app, the process begins the conversion then just stops about 10-15% of the way and the process window disappears.  No error message, nothing.  It just stops.  Now, I can save items as a "Quick and Simple PDF" but not as a "Fully functional PDF" when saving from Word.  So I have narrowed it down that far.  The screen shot below was created in Word and saved as a Quick and Simple PDF from Word.
When trying to use the Create PDF function from AA, I get an unexpected error message.

  • Some pictures are removed while creating pdf from MS word

    Hi
    I have some problems with creating PDF from MS word 2007 file.
    I'm using Acrobat X pro and MS office 2007. My system is windows XP Pro SP3.
    I'm making some documents including many tables and figures. They're created and modified in MS word and when I publish them, I have to convert them in PDF files.
    At first, the body of the document and figures are separated. I converted them individually and insert the figure pdf files to the body pdf files.
    One day, my boss wanted to combine the seperated word file into one file and I did it. There was no problem before I created PDF file.
    There are sample of the PDF.
    This is a part of missing picture. After conversion, another parts are unseen and I can find only this part.
    Sorry that I can't reveal all parts of picture.
    As you see up there, a little part of whole pictures are found (but they are reversed) and another pictures are just missing.
    Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

    I don't know about the PC version but in the Mac version if you don't have drawing objects checked in Print and
    in the view menus, when you print to PDF, the images won't be there.
    I would assume there are the same settings in PC even if you Print to PDF printer or what other method available to PC.

  • Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT

    Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT and other MS office apps. Reinslalled Adobe, updated Office, and Adobe no help! Also I can create a pdf from the MS Word and it is using the Adobe 9. So one would think that's good. No it isn't when you need to combine different files to one big PDF document. Any suggetions? Thank you

    Yes, I’m saying that I can in WORD use “Save As ADOBE pdf” but cannot in ADOBE create a pdf file from a WORD (.doc or .docx) document. While I can from other MS Office apps like Excel and PowerPoint.
    I understand I can use “work around” and save doc in WORD as pdf then compile all files needed (xml, ppt, pdf) in the ADOBE v9. to one big pdf document. But that is not the point of this post.

  • Can't create PDFs from Word due to Cambria font. Help.

    I'm using win 7 32 bit office 2010 acrobat pro 9. I can't create pdfs from word because of problems with cambria. I've ttried all the fixes I can find but none worked. Any more ideas?
    [thread title updated by moderator]

    How are you trying to create the PDF? With AA9 you have to print to the Adobe PDF printer or use the MS plugin.
    When you say you cannot create PDFs because of Cambria, what error messages are you getting and copy them here? At this point we really do not know what you are having problems with or how you are trying to create PDFs.
    In the future, please provide a topic to help folks that are stepping through all of the posts. A blank topic almost led me to simply skip your post.

  • Can't create PDFs from Acrobat or Word?

    Downloaded the 8.1.4 update and now I can't create PDFs from Acrobat or Word.  If I try to create a PDF from the print menu, I get a message indicating that there are no print drivers for this...any ideas?

    Thanks for responding.  Yep, I tried repairing it...no dice.  Then I realized that I'd re-installed AA Pro 8 (having completely given up on the AA Pro 9 upgrade that crashed my system) but not the updates.  So I went through and re-installed each update.  Still no dice. Then I did another repair. Nope.  When I try to create a PDF via the print menu, I get a "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup."  This tells me that I have driver problem. But everything else prints fine, and I'm pretty sure Acrobat doesn't have drivers.  I'm stumped...

  • Can't create PDF from Word file

    I may be missing some functionality or that functionality may not exist.
    I'm running Acrobat Pro 9.2 and MS Word 2004 (11.5) on OSX Leopard 10.5.8. I want to create a PDF from a Word file but NOT using the Print dialog. I want to either create it in Acrobat using File > Create PDF > From File or create it from within Word using the Acrobat menu/toolbar. This is so that it will end up as a tagged PDF.
    However, I don't have an Acrobat menu or toolbar in Word. I thought Acrobat was supposed to have installed these into MS Office when I installed Acrobat. And when within Acrobat if I select File > Create PDF > From File and choose a Word file, I get a message "Acrobat could not open 'filename.doc' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged". This happens for all Word files.
    Looking in Acrobat > About Adobe Plug-Ins... under Convert2AdobePDF it says 'Loaded: no'.
    Are these two methods of converting Word files to PDFs something that can only be done in the Windows version of Acrobat? Or is there a plug-in or update I can download to install this missing functionality?
    Thanks for your help,
    Mark

    Keep your Office2004. But Office 2008 does have a way to create PDF's from within  the word and excel Programs.
    It works better than through the AdobePDF Printer, or through the Apple Print menus save as PDF. (Unless you have X.6.x Snow leopard)
    One thing it gets around is a long standing Problem Acrobat has had with word and excel since Word 6.0.1.a/Excel 5.0.1a. Acrobat doesn't know how to interpert Word Page section Breaks. Chopping up a word/excel document in to multiple PDFs that have to be merged back together. MS came up with their own PDF Converter that gets around that problem.

  • Create PDF from a Word document within Acrobat

    Hi!
    I am having trouble to create a PDF from a Word document within Acrobat itself, and not by using PDF Maker in Word. When I try to create a PDF using Acrobat, it gives me the choice to choose any Office format file, but Word format doesn't appear. I can convert from an Excel document or a PowerPoint document, but not from a Word document, even if Word 2010 is installed and works perferctly. Why?
    I know I can make a PDF in Word itself by printing to the Adobe PDF printer or by using PDF Maker, but I want to resolve the issue in Acrobat that prevents me to select a Word document in the Create PDF dialog window. You can see the dialog box in the screenshot attached.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    I am using Acrobat X version 10.1.8 on Windows 7 Home Premium and I have Office 2010 installed (with Word 2010).

    Thanks for your reply. PDF Maker works in all of my Office applications. However, in Acrobat, the file formats available for me to create PDF from figure all the Office file formats except the one for Word. This is not normal. At my school, Acrobat X and Office 2007 are installed, and I can use there both PDF Maker in Word and creating PDF from Word document within Acrobat.
    So I think maybe there's a key in my Windows registry that is not set correctly? or something like that. I repaired the installation of Office 2010, and I did so for Acrobat X too, but it doesn't help. Any idea of how I can resolve that?

  • Can't create PDF from most MS Office files, or combine

    After behaving nicely for months, Acrobat suddenly won't create PDFs, either from the Acrobat menu or (for most) from right-clicking in Explorer. If I try File> Create PDF> From File, the dialog says it's looking for 'all supported formats' but doesn't show any of the files in the folder (not even .TXTs). It'll create a PDF from the right-click menu in Explorer, for only a very a few file types (for example, .docx but not .doc), and it won't do a Combine Files, either from Explorer or from the program, for any filetypes (says 'cannot convert file' on all filetypes).
    This worked fine up til today and I have the same setup at work (AA 9 Pro and Office 2010) where it works fine. Tried doing a 'Repair' but no change. Starting to panic here. What went south? Thanks for any clues!

    I said to print as a check, not to forget PDF Maker. The print is a temporary work around while you resolve the issue, partiuclarly if you are under time pressure. With versions before AA9, PDF Maker was simply a front end for the printer and when the printer was checked things might fail. So you get some trouble shooting of where the problem is. If you do not want to troubleshoot to see if everything is broken, that is fine.
    The updates and repairs are other steps to take. A reinstall is typically a last resort and should include deletion of the Acrobat folder and running a cleaner on the registry after the uninstall.
    Generally, if the PDF Maker in WORD does not work, then none of the other options to right click and create a PDF or creating a PDF directly in WORD will not work either. The whole point is to trace down to what is the major problem. Often folks have problems because the PDF Maker is not being recognized in WORD and has to be activated, but you have the icon and that suggests things should work.
    Your next step is to check the job settings file. Be sure you have access to the job settings file. You will usually get an error message if this access is denied for some reason and posting the error is helpful.

  • Can't Create PDF "from file" using any MS Office files

    Acrobat 8.1.1 Pro. (OS = XP), as part of the CS3 premium edition.
    I can no longer get Acrobat to recognize any of the MS Office applications extensions (.doc, .ppt, etc...) for use with either Create PDF "From File" or when using the Combine Files feature to Merge or Package. The extensions are no longer even listed as an option in the dialog box, or in the Preference settings under "Convert to PDF".
    FYI- I can still use the PDF Maker functionality from within the MS Office application to create a PDF.
    Any Idea what could have happened, or more importantly how to fix?
    ***Update***
    I have re-installed the Acrobat 8 application, and the problem still exists.
    I'm truly puzzled.

    I get this with my PC and I ran detect-repair and reinstalled. Some PDF's I can open and other's I cannot. I can send the email to a cohort and they can open fine.
    "Can't create file: Right-click the folder you want to create the file in and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder"
    Any ideas would be great.
    Thanks!

  • How to creat pdf from microsoft word

    How do I edit pdf files

    You don't.  Thats why they are saved as .pdf files to prevent changes.
    You can create PDF files form Word on windows, by printing to a PDF Virtual Printer (you can google this).
    You can create PDF files on a Mac by selecting Print, then clicking PDF on the print screen.
    You can create PDFs on an iOS device with a third party app like 'PDF Printer for iPhone'

  • Creating .pdf from a ppt or .doc in acrobat 9 resulting in strangely large file sizes

    I am printing to .pdf from Microsoft Word and Powerpoint (previously Office 07 - now Office 10) and the file sizes are sometimes doubling in size. Also, for some larger documents, multiple .pdfs are generating as if acrobat is choosing where to cut off a document due to large file size and generating secondary, tertiary, etc., docs to continue the .pdf. The documents have placed images (excel charts, etc) but they are not enormous - that is until they are being generated into a .pdf. I had hoped that when i upgraded to Office 10, this issue would go away, but unfortunately, it hasn't. Any ideas? thoughts? Thanks so much!

    One thing that can happen with MS Office applications when an image contains transparency is the "image" is actually composed of multiple one pixel images when converted to PDF. This could be confirmed by examining the file. Try selecting the images using the TouchUp Object tool to see if what looks like a single image it entirely selected.

  • Can't create PDF from Word that retains links

    I'm using Microsoft Word from Office Professional 2010, Version: 14.0.7116.5000 (64-bit) with Windows 7 Ultimate, Service Pack 1, and Adobe Acrobat X1 Standard 11.0.03.
    Whenever I use a particular font (which is the main font I use for text, so I can't really use something else), and try to retain the links in the Word document, it never creates the PDF properly. For example, if I print to Adobe PDF, using many different settings, the font embeds properly but the hyperlinks are never retained (by "hyperlink" I mean the text in Word that is selected and has an underlying web link). I've tried many different Acrobat settings, and Word settings, but nothing seems to make it retain the links when I'm using Print to create the PDF.
    But, if I use the Acrobat tab in Word, and the Create PDF button, the PDF will retain the links, but the main font I use (Mercury Text Fonts | Hoefler & Co.) is never embedded (despite all the settings I've tried), and instead that main roman font is replaced with a bold version of that font. NOTE: There are NOT license restrictions on the font, which is especially obvious since the bold versions of the font embed no matter what, and the regular roman version of the font embeds when I print to a PDF not using the Acrobat tab.
    Of course, I have indeed used Acrobat's advanced settings to "always embed" the particular font, but it still won't embed.
    How can I resolve this? I don't mind calling premium Acrobat support is such an option exists. Thank you.

    93654User, I looked at the Hoefler website. It is not clear to me that their license allows for the embedding of fonts in pdfs: Create and modify Embedded Software Files, using the Permitted Computer(s). Licensee is also permitted to reproduce, distribute and display Non-Commercial Documents without obtaining an additional license.

Please contact Licensor at [email protected] if you require these additional rights. All Embedded Software Files created pursuant to this subparagraph must comply with all of the following: I would contact the company to see if they allow licensing in pdfs. Also early versions of fonts from many years ago had a non-embed font flag improperly set. The only way you can be sure what is happening with this font is to contact its maker.
