Converting Microsoft Word to .pdf with FlashPaper2

When I try the simple task of converting Microsoft Word
documents to .pdf using FlashPaper2, the Word Document reads NOT
RESPONDING in Windows Task Manager, the taskbar reads "Word is
preparing to background print the document," the FlashPaper
horizontal working bar sticks at less than halfway - and stays
there. I suspect this might have something to do with the printer
driver problem discussed earlier on this forum. FYI: I installed
FlashPaper 2 as Part of Contribute 3 - all part of Studio 8. If
anybody can tell me what this is and how to fix it, I'd appreciate
it!: I...confused;

BreJan is right - that was the solution I used before! I also
found another solution which I did before reading the last posting
- I cut and pasted it. I did uninstall my HP printer but I just
unplugged it from the usb port and back it - it recognized the
printer and it works. FlashPaper 2 also works. BreJan's is the
simplist of the 2.
dhogue94 provided this link -
http://www.adobe.com/go/d3551268
- in his help for "FlashPaper completely freezes during print"
below. The link describes, I believe, how to reinstall an old
FlashPaper printer driver instead of the one provided by
installation of Contribute 3 in Studio 8. I followed the
instructions on the link, and they worked for my Word to .pdf
freeze. So once again, problem solved - and I thank you!

  • Link problem when converting MS Word to PDF with Acrobat Professional

    Hello all,
    I have the following problem:
    When I have a MS Word document with links to other files inside and I convert it to PDF the links are converted from relative paths to absolute paths.
    The problem is created by Acrobat as the links in the MS Word file are relative (I have checked this by moving the different docs to another directory and confirmed that the links still work after the move).
    How can I make the paths in the PDF relative again? I know there is a plugin from Evermap (and I can confirm this works) but I do not want to use this plugin (=read: spend another $190 dollars) as the license for the Acrobat Professional is expensive enough . Is there a way I can convert the paths within Adobe Acrobat easily? Or better: can I adjust the settings in Acrobat to a new standard when all converted documents contain relative paths?
    Backgroundinfo:
    - Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
    - Windows XP (SP2)
    - MS Word 2002
    Thanks in advance!

    Dear Steve,
    I have tried what u suggested: I put all the documents (word + linked documents) into the same folder on the local-drive (C). Then I recreated the links  in the word document to be sure they were matching. After that I converted the word document to an PDF and confirmed the links were still working in the PDF document.
    Then the biggest challenge: copying the pdf and linked documents to another drive&directory. As you can guess: Unfortunately the links did not work anymore.
    Any other suggestions?
    If I use the Evermap-tool (30 day-trial) I can look at the links and this is how it is 'coded' in the pdf.
    first link: ../../../../test/link_a.pdf
    second link: ../../../../test/link_b.pdf
    and yes this will work if you put the documents in the directory test in the root of the local-drive but not in a different subdirectory.
    Anyone ideas?
    Grtz,
    Bart

  • Convert MS Word to PDF with an embedded Excel File Q

    I have an MS Word document that contains embedded Excel and Word files (double click these icons and you can view), how can I convert this MS Word document and still be able to view these embedded file when I convert to PDF? I'm doing the straiaght forward 'createPDF' using PDF maker, when it is finished creating the PDF you can obviously see these embedded images in the PDF file but you can't access them. Can this be done?
    Thanks

    No. Covert these other documents to pdf and attach them in the first pdf and attach them to the new pdf file.

  • Unable to convert Microsoft Word doc. to PDF in Words (there is no response)

    Unable to convert Microsoft Word doc to PDF in Words (Does not respond) or Create PDF from a Word doc. in Adobe Acrobat X Standard 10.1.1 with all updates installed. I receive apop-up saying "Missing PDF Maker Files: Dou you want to run the installer in Repair Mode"  I have done this several times. I have un-installrd and re installed the program twice. Still does not work. I'm running Windows 7 Home version and Microsoft Office XP 2002. This is a brabd new Acrobat program right out of the box. Suggestions Please.

    In WORD 2002, I believe you can only print to the Adobe PDF printer. I think that WORD 2003 is the first compatible with AA X. Check out http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333504.html.

  • I wanna Convert PDF to Microsoft Word & Microsoft Word to PDF? How do I Do it?

    I wanna Convert PDF to Microsoft Word & Microsoft Word to PDF? How do I Do it?

    Hey,
    Firstly, you might need to refer this link to check the compatibility of MS Word with your Acrobat version:
    Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications
    Also, let me know what Acrobat version are you using?
    You can choose "File>Save as Other> Microsoft Word" to convert PDF file to Word.
    And, while exporting a word file to PDF, either you can use Adobe PDF printer option from the File menu or Acrobat ribbon from the menubar.
    Please check and let me know.

  • Advange of using Adobe Acrobat over Microsoft word 2007 PDF add -in

    Hi,
    I would like to know what is the advantage of using Adobe Acrobat 9 standard or professional over Microsoft Word 2007 PDF addin. Microsoft will ship the PDF convertor with SP2 later this month, in that case what should be the use of using adobe acrobat to convert a document to PDF and not use microsoft word built in features.
    This is just a doubt which arouse and thought if I could ask here, thought to control some adobe acrobat licenses being used in our environment.

    I have found that some of the links and other items just to not work well with the add-in from MS. However, with OFFICE 2007, it appears that MS has put some hooks in the system to screw up Acrobat. Typical pages that are produced with Acrobat get cut into sections (a graphic will be chopped into multiple graphics and pasted together). I say this is OFFICE only from the perspective that we have tried it with OFFICE 2007 and both AA7 and AA8 and gotten the same result. When we used the same file in OFFICE 2003 with AA7, the PDF was fine. So when you complain about the PDFs created by OFFICE 2007 and Acrobat, you may be seeing something that is a result of OFFICE, not Acrobat. Generally they still look good, it is only in some detail where you will see problems.
    A major advantage we found with Acrobat is that it did not have issues with messing up the links that the MS add-in had. You can try some of this yourself, but that is a summary of our conclusions. Bill

  • 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.

  • Can I sync my microsoft word and PDF files on my palm?

    I am new to the Plam family and I have a question.  I use my Palm for bussiness as I'm sure most of us do, however can I sync my microsoft word and PDF files into my palm?
      I use contract all the time and I need to view a contract from time to time, I'm not sure how to sync these files on my palm... is the palm windows mobile?
    If I could get as much info as I can about this all the how to's that would be awesome!
    Thanks and I greatly aprecaite it!
    Paul
    Post relates to: Pre Plus p101vzw (Verizon)
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hey Paul welcome to the Palm forums.
    Your Verizon Pre Plus runs a mobile operating system called HP/Palm webOS.  The current release is 1.4.5.  The phone can connect to a corporate Microsoft Exchange server.  When it does, it uses a sync technology called "Exchange Active Sync," but your phone does not run the Windows Mobile or Windows Phone operating system.
    Syncing Microsoft Office and PDF documents has been sort of an adventure since the Pre debuted over 18 months ago.
    DataViz, the makers of the Doc View application, was partially acquired by RIM, the makes of the BlackBerry, and have decided to not release a full version of Documents To Go for webOS devices.  Palm is working with the makers of QuickOffice to bring full Office document support to webOS in the future.
    For now, if you put Office documents and PDF files in the USB storage area of your Pre, Doc View or PDF will find them and allow you to view them on your Pre.  I put all of my documents in a folder simply called "Documents".
    If you connect the charging/sync cable to your Pre and then attach it to your Mac or Windows PC, you will be given a choice to turn on USB Drive mode.  When you do, you will be able to work with your Pre like you would a standard USB flash drive.  Eject the Pre from your PCs desktop when you are done and you should be all set.
    Hope that helps.

  • 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?

  • 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.

    In order to set up and install the new AirPort Extreme:
    Setup and Administration
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3

  • 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!

  • Converting Microsoft Word 2007 documents to PDF - Lines round all jpegs?

    Hi,
    I have recently had a new suite of headed notepaper designed and set up in Microsoft Word and it was all going swimingly until we tried converting the completed docments on our computers into a PDF format for sending out on e-mails etc., the pc's are running Microsoft Office 2007.  Although it works, each of the jpegs contained in the header and footer have thin ghost black lines round them local to the image.
    We are running Adobe Reader X (10.1.4) on the pc's and mac.
    This does not happen in Word 2003 or 2010 or on an apple mac?
    Why does it happen with Office 2007?
    Another point is that the word template letter document is circa 3Mb.  When I convert it on the 2007 pc it provides a sensibly sized 160kb PDF but when I do the same on the Mac it is still 3Mb.  Obviously in the short term I am having to use the mac and accept larger file size to achieve a clean page but I need to get this all sorted out.
    Can anyone help out there?
    Many thanks.

    ***** Actually, girls and guys I think I have found the problem!!!!!
    It's not just pictures that can cause the "Cannot Save File" message it's also fonts.
    We were using Myriad Pro in all our Case Studies and up until a certain date 2 months ago it was great all could be printed and there were no problems. Then for some reason - and I have since discovered the font Myriad Pro has a licensing issue on our PC's - all our Case Study templates were unable to be converted and we were having issues all over the place.
    I went through the advice contained in these posts (and also onb the Adobe website) and removed images one by one to see what was actually causing the problem. Nothing, no result the issues still existed. Then I hit upon the idea of changing the font to Arial and BINGO!!! it worked!!!! So, my advice is to ensure that your images are free from errors (whatever that means!) and you're using fonts that have no licensing issues and Publisher will be able to convert them no problems.
    Now, as for the advice Microsoft gave us...well I am as frustrated as everyone else is that we had to find the answers ourselves and MS couldn't have developed a tool that would pick up these issues for us in the document itself. C'mon Microsoft you make this great product - make it even better and give us better diagnostic tools please.
    Oh and by the way, when I did the same document in InDesign (which was a pain in the a...) it handled the font issue no problems - explain that one Microsoft.

  • Convert Word to PDF with a Digital ID?

    Hi,
    I am looking for a solution to automate the process of adding Digital ID's to PDF's. Whenever I create a PDF from a Word Document with the Adobe PDF converter plug-in for Word I want it to add a Digital ID (certificate security) to that particular PDF. But as far as I can tell it is only possible to add password security to the PDF working this way.
    So as things are now, I have to add the digital ID after I created the PDF, this is what I want to avoid. Is there a way to add a Digital ID while I convert the Word Document to PDF. Or a plug-in that does the same thing with only one click. Something to keep in mind is that the Certificate will always use the same Digital ID.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for replying.
    This is probably what I'm looking for but I think I'm going wrong somewhere.
    I tried changing the conversion options more specifically the "Adobe PDF security" setting.
    This setting gives me 2 possibilities:
         - Reconfirm security for each job
         - Use the last known security settings
    These are the only settings I can find regarding security settings. But both work with the password encrypting security.
    Do keep in mind that I'm using Acrobat Pro 8.0.
