Converting image links from Word to PDF

If I insert a picture into a Word file (Insert/Picture From File), select the picture and Insert/Hyperlink and then Convert to Adobe PDF, the hyperlink is still active in the pdf file as expected (Add Links is checked in the conversion settings).
However, if I do the same but apply any layout options to the picture before attaching the hyperlink (e.g. Format Picture/Layout/Square text wrapping), Convert to PDF does not convert the link into the pdf file and the image appears as if no link had ever been set.
Does anybody know of a solution to this problem? Or is Acrobat 9 any better? I am curently using Word 2000 and Acrobat 6 running on XP

Thanks for the reply.
I have already inserted the links within the pdf, so I do have a working document. It is only a draft, though, and any subsequent editing requires going back to the original Word document, editing and converting again to pdf and then re-establishing the links - with over 30 images (linked to pre-exixting pdf documents) this last step is both tedious and error-prone! Thanks for the warning re Acrobat 9 and Word 2000. I had been thinking of upgrading ...

Convert TOC Links from Word to PDF?

In a recent conversion of a Word document to PDF using Create PDF, the TOC links didn't make it through the process though most/all other links did. Is there a way to include TOC links in the converson process?

I just converted a document from Word to PDF and the URL links don't work.How can the links to work?

Anyone know how to get the links to work in a PDF that was converted from Word?

Then the problem originates from Microsoft Word; you should ask in the appropriate Microsoft Office forum.

Can Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Pro Convert File Hyperlink From Word to PDF?

Is there any method to convert file link (eg. C:\Documents and Settings\xxx\My Documents\xx.xls) from Word 2000? I have read many related issues, but seems cannot get the final answer. Many of them only mention about URL hyperlink (eg. www.yahoo.com). Can anyone help?

Do you mean that Office XP and later version can automatically convert the file link? No need to manually create the link in Acrobat using the link tool?
I will work this out to see whether ok or not.
By the way, thank you, Michael Kazlow.

Transfer links from Word to PDF

I want to create a PDF file from a Word document. I click "Adobe PDF" on the word toolbar and the PDF file is created, but the hyperlinks that I had in the Word document don't transfer over to the PDF. I am using Word 2003, Acrobat X Standard and Windows 7 Home Premium. How can I get the links to carry over?

I suspect your version of Office is no longer supported.
* Adobe ends support for Office 2003 PDFMakers for Acrobat X and XI after the May 2014 quarterly update.

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?
Depending on the system version, and Office Word version:
- a pure URL link starting with http or even www sometimes works in PDF, either produced by Aperçu or Adobe, sometimes does not work;
- other kind of links where the text under display is not a URL, never work!
I like everything with Apple computers and software, except PDF generation. Output files are usually bigger in size, and no better quality, than under Windows. Furthermore, it is weird that something as common as hyperlinks does not work correctly!
I related this question with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is still there with Mac OS Lion.
This problem seems to have been around for years, without any proper solution from Apple and/or Adobe! To me, this is very embarrassing!

Greetings NoNameGiven,
If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

How to use .joboptions file while converting from Word to PDF

Hi,
I'm pretty new to Acrobat. I'm using Acrobat XI. I need to convert a word document to a PDF file which conforms to certain requirements described by a given .joboptions file. The .joboptions file can be opened by distiller, but as far as I know distiller is not invovled in the conversion (Word to PDF) process. So how can I make sure the converted PDF file meets the requirement described by the .joboptions file?

Distiller is used when converting from Word to PDF, if you do it via the Acrobat panel, not the Adobe PDF printer or Word's internal Export to PDF command. If you've loaded your joboptions file in Distiller (via Settings - Add Adobe PDF Settings), then you will see it in the drop-down of Conversion Settings when you click the Preferences button in the Acrobat panel in Word.
After you've selected your job options profile click the Create PDF button, and the file will be converted using the selected options.

Black Pages - Convert from Word to PDF

When I convert a Word document to a PDF, the pages on the PDF document are black. This only happens on select Word document that use a specific cover graphic. I've sent the same document to a co-worker and they were able to convert the document to PDF with no issues. I have verified my preferences with my co-worker and these are the same. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader (10). I was previously able to convert a Word document with the same graphic to PDF without any issues. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Since 11-4-14 every convert from Word to PDF has failed online or desktop - when will this be sorted

Since 11-4-14 EVERY convert from Word to PDF either online or desktop has failed, when will this be fixed?

No replies on here so went online and tried various options including "repair reader installation" plus uninstall and reinstall etc, some posts suggested a repair from the Printers file (Vista) so installed AdobeCreatePDF desktop printer plus Xerox Phaser PS printer as advised. All without any obvious sucess ie still no word docs converted after hours of trying. Then unexpectedly a further test convert attempt succeeded; tested again on desktop plus online and now all works fine as it did before. Who knows why - possibly only Adobe know. Will leave this thread here just in case the fail reappears over next few days!

How do I save bookmarks from word to pdf?

How do I save bookmarks from word to pdf?

Not convinced it can't be done... but then I'm not sure I understand exactly what you want to do.
I believe what the original poster wants to do is preserve the bookmarks of a Word file into the interactive bookmarks feature of the PDF specification, so that the bookmarks appear as a clickable linked table of contents when that Word file is converted to PDF. You see this in every ebook or iBook. This is easy to do when converting Word to PDF in Microsoft Windows, but I am not sure it is possible from Mac Word because everybody complains about it on the Mac side.
Converting bookmarks to a clickable PDF TOC is easy to do in other software on the Mac, like InDesign. Apple Pages might do it too, but I'm not sure.

How do I convert images I enter into a PDF into text?

Would you also happen to know how I convert images I enter into a PDF into text? (I can't use OCR if text already exists on that page of the document)

Hey SinNombre,
Could you please specify in detail what exactly do you wish for.
Let me know what version of Acrobat are you using.
Please tell me what exactly do you mean by saying convert 'images to text'. What happens when you try running OCR?
Hope to hear from you.

Mac OS 10.6.7 corrupt font on export from Word to PDF

Hi,
I have a library of Word documents that use our corporate font: Officina Sans ITC Pro Book. I have previously saved these as PDF using Word for Mac and opening in Acrobat Pro 9 without any difficulty.
Today however, while Word will export and create the PDF. When the PDF is opened in Acrobat it comes up blank and crashes Acrobat. I have tried exporting from Word to PostScript, but this fails: "Stack:/Font-dict-/ZCYKUX+OfficinaSansITCPro-Book".
The font is avialable on the Mac. I have validated the font and using Font Finagler I have cleared the cache. All without success.
One pointer is the additional six digits in the PS log, which is in front of the font name.
Anyone got any ideas on how to clear the problem and start export cleanly from Word to PDF again?
Thanks,
Niall

Thanks Steve,
The link described our situation. You are correct: yes our font is OpenType PostScript and, yes I had updated to OS 10.6.7.
I have been busy reading. For other readers there is a long thread here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2792142&start=0&tstart=0, where I see that you have also participated.
I have posted constructive critisim to Apple on the OS update. However I don't think there will be a quick fix.
I will probably downgrade back to 10.6.6, but need to steel myself for the task.
Thanks also to Larry and Michael!

Can you link from Word to a specific page in PDF without a webserver?

I am trying to add a link within Word that opens a specific PDF file and goes to a particular page within the PDF. Is there a way to do this without a webserver?

I have a similar problem I would like to solve. I am also running Word 2003, Windows XP and Acrobat Professional 7.0.
I can create a hyperlink in a word document to open a separate PDF file.
I can then use PDF Maker to convert the word document to PDF.
No problem.
When I click on the new link in the PDF document it opens the separate file in the same window and the original PDF file is closed.
I do not want the original file to close.
When I set up a new link from within Acrobat then I get the option to "Open in new window". This link works the way that I want.
As there are multiple hyperlinks in the word document, I will need to recreate new links everytime I modify the Word document. This is very time consuming
Question - how do I get the automatically created link to open in a new window?
Thanks in advance

Problem converting links from Word 02 to Acrobat 7

Hello All,
I have this problem that is driving me nuts. I am working with Word 2002 and Acrobat 7 Pro.
When I create internal links within the word document (terms linked to the glossary) and PDF using the PDF toolbar (change settings to include bookmarks and links, no security). The PDF only converts some of the links, and it is never consistent. My co-worker has the same problem, but her links that don't come in vary from mine (word 2003 acrobat 7).
This doesn't happen to all documents with links, the website links work perfectly.
Any ideas?
thanks,
dkelley_2

I created the links in word, pressed the PDF Maker ("Adobe PDF" Button on toolbar), changed conversion settings: Standard, (all check but "Attach source file to PDF"), Security None, Word Tab (all checked but "Convert displayed comments to notes in the PDF"), Bookmarks were selected, clicked OK, clicked "Convert to PDF."
If you look at my original post, I attached screenshots of the PDF Maker dialog box.
